More Do & See

Behind the thick walls of Lübeck’s famous Landmark an exhibition entitled “The Hanseatic League – The Power of Trade” invites you to a fascinating medieval world of global trade and seafaring. Incidentally, the city gate was equipped with 30 cannons in the late Middle Ages, but none has ever fired a single shot.

Lübeck Town Hall

Lübeck Town Hall is one of the most beautiful town halls in Germany. In 1230 its construction started right in the centre of the Old Town on the market. The dark bricks of the Town Hall make a striking contrast to the traditional red-brick construction of the surrounding buildings. The patricians extended the building several…

St. Peter's church

The Romanesque church was erected between 1227 and 1250. It is not used for church services any more. Nowadays the bright church hall holds events and exhibitions and during the Christmas season a beautiful craft market takes place inside. A very special view over the island-shaped Old Town – and on a good day even…

St. Mary's church

This Lutheran church is full of art and atmosphere, with a very moving Chapel of Memory. It was constructed between 1250 and 1350 and is the third largest church in Germany.

The cathedral is one of the oldest historical monuments in Lübeck’s Old Town. It houses numerous works of art such as the 17-metre Triumphal Cross by Bernt Notke of 1477, the pulpit and the imposing Lettner clock.

St. Jacob's church is easy to recognise from a distance as it has four spherical globes on the tower's helm edge. The three-naved Gothic brick hall church (built in 1334) has been the church of seafarers since the Middle Ages. It was consecrated together with St. Mary's and St. Peter's. Since the church did not…

Hospital of the Holy Spirit

Responsible residents of Lübeck built the Hospital of the Holy Spirit, where care was provided for the elderly and infirm in the 13th century already. At Christmas time, visitors of the craft market inside the hospital’s vaulted hall can soak up the medieval atmosphere.

Back in medieval times charitable foundations were established in order to ensure that widows and orphans of seafarers and merchants were cared for. The most famous foundation in Lübeck is the Füchtingshof, which can be found right in the heart of the Old Town.

Buddenbrook-House

Heinrich and Thomas Mann are two of Lübeck’s most famous sons. The Buddenbrook-House is dedicated to the two writers and the “Buddenbrooks”. This is the place to find out all you ever wanted to know about the Mann family and their works. Walk through the house with its authentically furnished rooms and feel as if…

Willy-Brandt-House Lübeck

Dramatic staging and multimedia services are used which allow visitors to gain a much better understanding of the German history of the 20th century. The permanent exhibition of the German Federal Chancellor Willy Brandt Foundation shows photos from all stages of the famous politician's life. Official documents, which include the letter to John F. Kennedy…

Günter Grass-House

This museum is dedicated to the multi-talented Günter Grass, Laureate of the Nobel Prize for literature. Besides housing an interesting exhibition of manuscripts, drawings and sculptures, the building is also a forum for literature and fine arts. The house also has a beautiful garden, a shop and a café.

Museum Behnhouse/Drägerhouse

In two magnificent merchants’ houses – almost palatial in their grandeur – modern-day visitors can see what life was like in Goethe’s time. The two houses, which have been combined to form one museum, also house a collection of paintings from the 19th century to classical modernism.
