Emil Minlos

He was the son of Lübeck businessman Hans Simon Minlos (born October 13, 1799 in Lübeck; † 27 April 1847) and Dorothea Adolphine Friederike Sager(September 2, 1803 in Lübeck, the daughter of Adolph Christopher Sager )
Minlos married 1874, the daughter of his Italian business partner Jose Antonio Montovio,

Dolores Josefa (* May 4, 1835 in Montoggio; † January 2, 1894 in Berlin).

A daughter emerged from this marriage, who was to marry the partner of the company

Minlos, Breuer & Co, Christian Witzke, a.

 His son Emilio Jose Minlos became a merchant in Bucaramanga, Colombia.

He collected native birds, killed by Indians and sent his collection of about 800 specimens as

a gift to the Natural History Museum at am Dom (Lubeck). From this collection Hans von Berlepsch

described the first two birds, which he named after Emilio Minlos: Thryophilus rufalbus minlosi 1884

in the Journal of Ornithology [14] and Xenerpestes minlosi (Double-banded greytail) in 1886 in the

journal Ibis.

In 1858 Minlos was appointed Royal Prussian consul for his knowledge and other good qualities in Maracaibo.

This office he was to hold until 1866. New German companies were founded in the coffee trade in Maracaibo in the following years, as a way of financing the harvest until its delivery to major European and North American markets.

In the first half of 1872, the house "Minlos, Breuer & Co." was born. The five German houses were listed as the five most important in the country, up to the construction of the Empire State Building. A strong earthquake shook the region in 1875.

Care

Long before the German government's care of sick or crippled compatriots, the area of state obligations by decree with cover, recognized the need that Minlos had in the field of Public Welfare bedürften and many areas of intervention. After the development of modern commercial life, it was not sufficient to talk only Siechen- and almshouses, but care must already begin earlier.

After he returned to his hometown in 1876 he called there, inspired by the writings of Count Rumford, at the address Fünfhausen 14 at that time a completely unknown institution, bringing the soup kitchen, to life.

They offered, under the direction of the women workers a lunch for little money, together with the drinking compulsion of the time, but the drunkenness had to be avoided. The Board of Lübeck soup kitchen was formed by Ms Ritt shear and woman Eschenburg. In both the "Society for People's Coffee Halls" and in the "Society for Volkskaffee- in the central dining halls.

Likewise, he devoted himself to the efforts to maintain the health of young people, the so-called

holiday camps. One such home was built thanks to his efforts and foundations on the shore of

the Baltic Sea.

 Minlos withdrew after the death of his wife and his health deteriorated.

He spent every summer in the Travemünde Villa in the front row 64 healing from his lung disease

(tuberculosis).

 For health reasons, he took the reindeer  Berlin to Wiesbaden in 1900.  He died in his beloved

Travemünde Villa of tuberculosis.

 Minlos was in the national newspapers, and in almost all Berlin newspapers.  Erbbegräbnis Minlos

on the Burgtorfriedhof

 He died on September 4, 1901, and was buried by Pastor Trummer, senior pastor of St. Peter's Church,

in the tomb he had created for himself and his family in the general cemetery.  Not only the Lübeckische,

but the entire German press praised his services and aspirations for the people's welfare.

 In the week after his death, in the former Minlos'schen house in which since 1891 has the

"Society for the promotion of community service" their seat, held its 21st annual meeting of the German

Society for poor relief and charity. The speaker pointed to this fact and paid tribute to the deceased accordingly.

 Emil-Minlos Foundation was dissolved in 1973/74. At the same time her house front row was placed 61 in Travemünde

after a long debate under monument protection.

At its gable end still remembers a Inschirft at the Emil Minlos Foundation.Family

Localización

En el istmo de Holstein y a 50 km de Hamburgo, esta ciudad del estuario del Trave se abre sobre el mar Báltico y Europa del norte.

Referencias históricas

Desde su fundación por Enrique el León en el sitio de un castrum romano, Lübeck se desarrolla alrededor de una gran plaza de mercado, que tiene forma rectangular.
En 1226, bajo del reinado del emperador Federico II, llega a ser ciudad libre e imperial.
Ya a la cabeza de factorías, Lübeck es cofundadora, con Hamburgo, del Hansa (1241) - liga de mercaderes alemanes y luego de ciudades, nacida en la época del renacimiento urbano en Occidente y que se asegura el control del comercio marítimo en Europa del norte.
El Hansa conoce su apogeo alrededor del siglo XIV. Lübeck es entonces la sede de su Asamblea. La ciudad sigue muy próspera hasta finales del siglo XVI.
A raíz de dificultades que surgen a partir del siglo XV y con la aparición de competidores, el Hansa, pese a los esfuerzos de restauración, inicia su lenta decadencia. La Guerra de los Treinta Años (1618-1648) será fatal para ella.

Morfología urbana

Dos ejes longitudinales, que se remontan a la fundación de Lübeck, atraviesan la ciudad encerrada entre ríos. La gran plaza pública, que acoge el mercado y la catedral, es también el lugar del antiguo ayuntamiento. Unas calles de anchuras variables, muchas veces sinuosas, se articulan en torno a esta plaza, aunque se pueden observar algunas irregularidades.
Pese a las destrucciones de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, las reconstrucciones y los reacondicionamientos, la ciudad hanseática de Lübeck ha conservado unas largas hileras de magníficas casas señoriales (siglos XV y XVI) y un barrio monumental en la orilla izquierda del Trave, que son un testimonio de la potencia hanseática (la célebre puerta de ladrillo, la Holstentor, y los almacenes de sal); el corazón de la ciudad medieval ha quedado marcado por los bombardeos de 1942. Del conjunto de la ciudad se desprende una gran armonía de formas y de colores (ladrillo).

Inscription	1987 (11th Session)

The Hanseatic City of Lübeck (pronounced [ˈlyːbɛk] ( listen), Low German [ˈlyːbɛːk]) is the second-largest city in Schleswig-Holstein, in northern Germany, and one of the major ports of Germany. Situated on the river Trave, it was for several centuries the "capital" of the Hanseatic League ("Queen of the Hanse"). Because of its extensive Brick Gothic architecture, it is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. In 2005 it had a population of 213,983.

The old part of Lübeck is on an island enclosed by the Trave. The Elbe–Lübeck Canal connects the Trave with the Elbe River. Another important river near the town centre is the Wakenitz. The Autobahn 1 connects Lübeck with Hamburg and Denmark (Vogelfluglinie). The borough of Travemünde is a sea resort and ferry port on the coast of the Baltic Sea. Its central station links Lübeck to a number of railway lines, notably the line to Hamburg.

History

Main articles: Liubice and Free City of Lübeck

See also: Timeline of Lübeck

The area around Lübeck was settled after the last Ice Age. Several Neolithic dolmens can be found in the area.

Around AD 700 Slavic peoples started coming into the eastern parts of Holstein, which had previously been settled by Germanic inhabitants; the latter had moved on in the course of the Migration Period. In the early 9th century Charlemagne, whose efforts to Christianise the area were opposed by the Saxons, expelled the Saxons out and brought in Polabian Slavs, allied to Charlemagne, in their stead. Liubice ("lovely") was founded on the banks of the river Trave about four kilometres (2.5 miles) north of the present-day city centre of Lübeck. In the 10th century it became the most important settlement of the Obotrite confederacy and a castle was built. The settlement was burned down in 1128 by the pagan Rani from Rügen.

The modern town was founded as a German settlement in 1143 by Adolf II, Count of Schauenburg and Holstein, on the river island Bucu. He built a new castle, which was first mentioned by Helmold in 1147. Adolf had to cede the castle to Henry the Lion in 1158. After Henry's fall from power in 1181, the town became an Imperial city for eight years.^{[citation needed]} Emperor Barbarossa ordained that the city should have a ruling council of twenty members. With the council dominated by merchants, Lübeck's politics were led by pragmatic trade interests for centuries to come. The council survived into the 19th century.

The town and castle changed ownership for a period afterwards and were part of the Duchy of Saxony until 1192, of the County of Holstein until 1217, and as part of Denmark until the Battle of Bornhöved in 1227.

Lübeck's seal, 1280

Around 1200 the port became the main point of departure for colonists leaving for the Baltic territories conquered by the Livonian Order and, later, Teutonic Order. In 1226 Emperor Frederick II elevated the town to the status of an Imperial Free City, by which it became the Free City of Lübeck.

In the 14th century Lübeck became the "Queen of the Hanseatic League", being by far the largest and most powerful member of this medieval trade organization. In 1375, Emperor Charles IV named Lübeck one of the five "Glories of the Empire", a title shared with Venice, Rome, Pisa and Florence. Several conflicts about trade privileges were fought by Lübeck and the Hanseatic League against Denmark and Norway with varying outcomes. While Lübeck and the Hanseatic League prevailed in conflicts in 1435 and 1512, Lübeck lost when it became involved in the Count's Feud, a civil war that raged in Denmark from 1534 to 1536. Lübeck also joined the Schmalkaldic League.

After its defeat in the Count's Feud, Lübeck's power slowly declined. The city remained neutral in the Thirty Years' War, but, the combination of the devastation from the decades-long war and the new transatlantic orientation of European trade, caused the Hanseatic League and thus Lübeck to decline in importance. But, after the Hanseatic League was de facto disbanded in 1669, Lübeck still remained an important trading town on the Baltic Sea.

The great Danish-German composer Dieterich Buxtehude (born in what is present-day Sweden) was appointed as the organist at the Marienkirche in Lübeck in 1668 and served in the post until at least 1703.

In the course of the war of the Fourth Coalition against Napoleon, troops under Bernadotte occupied the neutral Lübeck after a battle against Blücher on 6 November 1806. Under the Continental System, the bank went into bankruptcy. From 1811 to 1813, Lübeck was formally annexed as part of France until the Vienna Congress of 1815.

In 1937 the Nazis passed the so-called Greater Hamburg Act, whereby the nearby Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg was expanded, to encompass towns that had formally belonged to the Prussian province of Schleswig-Holstein. To compensate Prussia for these losses (and partly because Hitler had a personal dislike for Lübeck after it had refused to allow him to campaign there in 1932^[3]), Hitler ended the 711-year-long independence of Lübeck, and ensured that almost all its territory was incorporated into Schleswig-Holstein.

Lübeck, 16th century

Lübeck in 1641

During World War II, Lübeck was the first German city to be attacked in substantial numbers by the Royal Air Force (RAF). The attack on 28 March 1942 created a firestorm that caused severe damage to the historic centre. The Bombing of Lübeck in World War II destroyed three of the main churches and greater parts of the built-up area. Germany operated a POW camp for officers, Oflag X-C, near the city from 1940 until April 1945. The British Second Army entered Lübeck on 2 May 1945 and occupied it without resistance.

On 3 May 1945, one of the biggest disasters in naval history occurred in the Bay of Lübeck when RAF bombers sank three ships: the SS Cap Arcona, the SS Deutschland, and the SS Thielbek - which, unknown to them, were packed with concentration-camp inmates. About 7,000 people were killed.

Lübeck's population grew considerably from about 150,000 in 1939 to more than 220,000 after the war, owing to an influx of ethnic German refugees expelled from eastern Europe, the so-called former Eastern provinces of Germany.

Lübeck remained part of Schleswig-Holstein after the war (and consequently lay within West Germany). It was situated directly on what became the inner German border during the division of Germany into two states in the Cold War period. South of the city, the border followed the path of the river Wakenitz, which separated the Germanys by less than 10 m (32.81 ft) in many parts. The northernmost border crossing was in Lübeck's district of Schlutup. Lübeck spent decades restoring its historic city centre. In 1987 this area was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Lübeck was the scene of a notable art scandal in the 1950s. Lothar Malskat was hired to restore the medieval frescoes of the cathedral of the Marienkirche, which were discovered after the cathedral had been badly damaged during World War II. Instead he painted new works which he passed off as restorations, fooling many experts. The West German government printed 2 million postage stamps depicting the frescoes. Among Malskat's additions were wild turkeys, unknown in Europe during the Middle Ages. Some experts initially considered this evidence for the early discovery of America by the Vikings. Malskat later revealed the deception himself. Günter Grass featured this incident in his novel The Rat.

On the night of 18 January 1996, a fire broke out in a home for foreign refugees, killing 10 people and severely injuring more than 30 others, mostly children. Most of the shelter's inhabitants thought it was a racist attack, as they had encountered other overt hostility in the city.^[4] The police and the local court were criticized at the time for ruling out racism as a possible motive before even beginning preliminary investigations.^[5] The perpetrators have not been caught.

Demographics

In 2010 the city had a population of 210,232, a slight decrease since 2006. The largest ethnic minority groups are Turks, Southern Europeans (mostly Greeks and Italians), Eastern Europeans (e.g. Poles, Russians), Arabs and several smaller groups. As in numerous other German cities, there is also a growing and vibrant Afro-German community.^[6] Population structure^[7]

Buildings

Much of the old town has kept a medieval appearance with old buildings and narrow streets. At one time the town could only be entered via any of four town gates, of which today two remain, the well-known Holstentor (1478) and the Burgtor (1444).

The old town centre is dominated by seven church steeples. The oldest are the Lübecker Dom (the city's cathedral) and the Marienkirche (Saint Mary's), both from the 13th and 14th centuries.

Other sights include:

the Lübecker Rathaus (Town Hall).
St. Catherine's Church, a church that belonged to a former monastery, now the Katharineum, a Latin school.
Thomas Mann's house.
Günter Grass' house.
Church of St. Peter ("Petrikirche").
Church of St. Lawrence, located on the site of a cemetery for people who died during the 16th century plague.
Church of St. Jacob (Lübecker Jakobikirche, 1334).
Church of the Sacred Heart (Propsteikirche Herz Jesu)
Church of St. Aegidien ("Aegidienkirche").
the Salzspeicher, historic warehouses where salt delivered from Lüneburg awaited shipment to Baltic ports.

Like many other places in Germany, Lübeck has a long tradition of a Christmas market in December, which includes the famous handicrafts market inside the Heiligen-Geist-Hospital (Hospital of the Holy Spirit), located at the northern end of Königstrasse.

Museums

Lübeck has many small museums, such as the St. Annen Museum, the Behnhaus and the Holstentor. Lübeck Museum of Theatre Puppets is a privately run museum. Waterside attractions are a lightvessel that served Fehmarnbelt and the Lisa von Lübeck, a reconstruction of a Hanseatic 15th century caravel.

Lübeck is famous for its marzipan industry. According to local legend, marzipan was first made in Lübeck, possibly in response either to a military siege of the city or a famine year. The story, perhaps apocryphal, is that the town ran out of all food except stored almonds and sugar, which were used to make loaves of marzipan "bread". Others believe that marzipan was actually invented in Persia a few hundred years before Lübeck claims to have invented it. The best known producer is Niederegger, which tourists often visit while in Lübeck, especially at Christmas time.

The Lübeck wine trade dates back to Hanseatic times. One Lübeck specialty is Rotspon, wine made from grapes processed and fermented in France and transported in wooden barrels to Lübeck, where it is stored, aged and bottled.

Education

Lübeck has three universities, the University of Lübeck, the Lübeck Academy of Applied Sciences, and the Lübeck Academy of Music. The Graduate School for Computing in Medicine and Life Sciences

is a central faculty of the University and was founded by the German Excellence Initiative

. The International School of New Media is an affiliated institute of the University.
