Dankwartsgrube 38 –

Beschreibung

This doctoral dissertation from Bamberg deals with a parcel in south-western Lübeck occupied since the 13th century A.D., which mainly revealed a 17th-century workshop with 2 horizontal elongated pottery kilns and 50,963 pottery sherds [ca. 90 % wasters in 10 layers]. Timber and masonry features of the 13th-20th century illustrated the architectural history, including many hallway pavements of brick or tiles respectively, as well as the foundations of several adjoining heatable rooms called Dornse. The neighbouring parcel no. 36 has been the home to families of coopers for centuries. The aim of the present study was to clarify the type spectrum of pottery, types and parallels of the kilns, and the change of quality and quantity of products in the course of time. 65 % of wasters belong to monochromely glazed red earthenware. 64 % of pottery vessels were pipkins, followed by 30 % of plates and bowls. Stove tiles account for 1,465 fragments. These archaeological remains were supported by textual sources on the Lübeck Pottery Office from the city archive, e.g. as to the master potter Heinrich Lüders [resident 1648-69] with information on biography, social standing, and significance for the Pottery Office.
