Palais Brömserhof

The plot of land where the Brömserhof stands was first documented in 1291 and originally consisted of two parcels used for agriculture. In 1300, councilor Marquard Vorrade acquired the property, which remained in his patrician family for generations. In the 15th century, it passed through marriage into the possession of Knight Engelbert von Tiesenhausen and later to other prominent Lübeck council families such as von Calven, Brömse, Gloxin, and Lüneburg. Since the mid-17th century, it has been known as “Brömserhof” after the Brömse family. Based on dendrochronological findings of the roof timber, the current building was constructed in the winter of 1744/45 and completed in the summer of 1745, although parts of the cellar and the west gable date back to the 13th/14th century. Several alterations took place in the 19th and 20th centuries.
