| Lübeck Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Lübeck's famous Holstentor Lübeck's famous Holstentor Adam J Berg Lübeck in Germany's northernmost state, Schleswig-Holstein, is a glorious medieval town. Although it's easily accessible from Hamburg, Lübeck is off the main tourist trails and can be a quiet alternative to the more spectacular attractions further south. The old town was heavily bombed in WW II but has been sensitively rebuilt and the town's stately charm is apparent today. Most things of interest to see are in the Altstadt, an egg-shaped island surrounded by the water defences of the Trave and the city moat. Lübeck, once the former "Queen of the Hanseatic League", is today a modern city enclosed by historic walls. There is good reason to be proud of it, as the UNESCO has declared the intact ensemble of churches, merchant's houses, warehouses and small narrow alleys in the Old Town part of the world´s cultural heritage. _______Sights Edit This Display all or display just: Castles Palaces Parks and Gardens Streets general Show best rated on top | Show in alphabetical order [Add Sight] Große Petersgrube Edit This If youd like to travel through time by seeing architecture from the 14th to the 20th century without missing a style...the best place to do so would be the Große Petersgrube. Without any boring ordinary faces, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo, Classic and Modern Age facades line the street, creating an extremely charming view. The rich patrician families once lived here, building their houses in a unique combination of understatement and representation. If you ignore the example created in the 20th century - a frightening garage complex - the buildings from so many centuries more.. type: general World66 rating: [rate it] address: Altstadt Rathaus Edit This When standing on the Markt square, the Town Hall is withount any doubt a very impressive building, even though (or maybe because?) generation by generation has added new parts in the most up-to-date style of their time over the centuries. The northern building, with its two striking holes in the face, dates from 1230 and is the centre, the original Town Hall. However, the holes were broken into the walls before 1425 to give the strong winds of north Germany less surface to attack. As early as 1298, the Town Hall appeared too tiny to to the city's heads and so the "Long House" was more.. type: general World66 rating: [rate it] tel.: +49 451 122 41 29 address: Breite Straße 62, Altstadt Teufel von St. Marien Edit This x When many centuries ago St. Mary's was built, the Devil noticed the construction site. Being curious, he asked the architect what kind of building was in progress, and the architect - who liked the idea of misleading the Devil - answered: 'A big inn!? That pleased the Lord of darkness, because plenty of sinning was done in inns. So he helped the building with his devilish powers. After some time, he got suspicious when the walls were growing higher and higher. He talked to a little boy who told him the truth. The Devil became furious and threw the block of stone he carried in the more.. type: general World66 rating: [rate it] address: Marienkirchhof, Altstadt Salzspeicher Edit This The Salzspeichers, or salt warehouses, stand right next to the Holstenbrücke bridge, forming a marked line of six former warehouses. They are the last remains of a type of trade which meant big business in Lübeck for centuries - the salt trade. Year by year countless wagon loads of salt travelled to Lübeck to be sold to Scandinavia and the Baltic countries from Lüneberg's salt works. Demand was gigantic, since in a time when no artificial refrigeration existed, salt was vital for preserving the huge quantities of fish exported to all European countries. On its way from more.. type: Palaces World66 rating: [rate it] address: An der Obertrave / Holstenstraße Glandorpshof / Glandorpsgang Edit This x When walking through the Old Town streets, one will soon recognise the passages in the house fronts, some very narrow and low, some rather large, all looking a bit like tunnels. Following them leads into the world of corridors and yards typical for Lübeck. In past centuries, the small free spaces between or behind the high, slim gable houses were used to erect modest residential buildings. So, as time went by, a picturesque maze of corridors, which were difficult to survey, emerged in some blocks, and many of them still exist today. One of the most beautiful examples is more.. type: Streets World66 rating: [rate it] address: Glockengießerstraße 41-53, Altstadt Burgtor Edit This There are streets named after the German word for castle (Burg), a former monastery, even an old town gate - but where is the castle itself? It's no use searching for it - the castle disappeared as early as in 1225. Danish soldiers controlled occupied Lübeck from their fortress for 23 years and when they left, the Lübeckers tore down the castle - except for the gate which now served as the northern town gate. Around the Danish centre, a Romanesque building was erected, and in 1444 it was given the Gothic face we can see today. Only the roof seems a bit unusual because of the more.. type: general World66 rating: [rate it] address: Große Burgstraße, Altstadt Kaisertor Edit This Even with most residents of Lübeck the name 'Kaisertor? doesn't ring a bell. It is half buried in the bastions and hidden under trees, this is the least striking, least impressive and least known of Lübeck´s three remaining town gates. When was it built? No document tells us. And - even more importantly - why was it built at all? The Mühlentor was only 100 metres away. The Kaisertor presumably dates from around 1290, and the Bishop of Lübeck may have ordered it. It is possible that he wanted to demonstrate his independence from the city by having an entrance to the cathedral more.. type: general World66 rating: [rate it] address: Wallstraße, Altstadt Holstentor Edit This a useful introduction to the city and Hanseatic history. On the waterfront to the right of the Holstentor is a row of lovely gabled buildings – the Salzspeicher (salt warehouses). type: general World66 rating: [rate it] tel.: +49 451 122 41 29, address: Holstentorplatz Stadtpark Edit This The city park is a place to relax in, or to take a walk and fill your lungs with oxygen. Everything is quiet and pleasantly to look at. In good weather the greens with the little ponds and tall trees are an ideal location for a quick nap or sunbathing during the lunch break. Or how about a little picnic? Moreover, there is an impressive variety of different local and exotic trees. Around the park you can find residential houses and small villas with remarkable facades. type: Parks and Gardens World66 rating: [rate it] address: Roeckstraße, St. Gertrud Der Schulgarten Edit This x Lübeck's botanical garden is located very near the river Wakenitz and has 15,000 summer flowers. There are herbs and economically useful plants as well as ornamental plants and wild flowers in this romantic park. Various theme gardens have been arranged, among them 'Heather’, 'The Alps’, 'In the Fields’ and 'In Forests’. Moreover, there is a showroom with Mediterranean plants and flowers which are susceptible to frost. The lavishly overgrown park invites you to take a break and enjoy the scenery. The "Café Bali's" open-air terrace is open during summer months. type: Parks and Gardens World66 rating: [rate it] tel.: +49 451 122 67 36 address: An der Falkenwiese / Wakenitzufer, St.Jürgen Schloss Rantzau Edit This x This building used to belong to the Dom. In 1804, the last canon and Prussian chamberlain Franz Ludwig Freeman von Höveln gave it to the city of Lübeck. Kuno von Rantzau-Breitenburg purchased it in 1858, and intended to change the building into one with an emphasis on the gothic style. He had his workers build a neo-gothic urban palace, leaving the original 15th century gothic gable at the back of the building. The building is a unique example of neogothic architecture in Lübeck, and served many purposes over the years ' it was a military hospital, a school of commerce for more.. type: Castles World66 rating: [rate it] address: Parade 1, Altstadt Linde´sche Villa Edit This x In 1804, the architect Christian Lillie built this house in the classic style. The eye specialist Max Linde bought the property and the 33,000 square metre park which belongs to it in 1897. The new owner decorated the house and garden with valuable artworks and invited important guests. But an economical crisis and inflation forced him to sell the better part of his art collection and the park. He and his family had to move into the attic flat in order to let the ground floor to other people. In 1964, the private property was sold, and after long and expensive renovation you more.. type: Castles World66 rating: [rate it] tel.: +49 451 122 34 11 ____________Practical Information Edit This [Add Practical address] Tourist Information Office Edit This type: Tourist Information World66 rating: [rate it] openings: Mon–Sat 10am–1pm & 2–6pm tel.: 0451/864675 address: in the train station Touristinformation Lübeck Edit This type: Tourist Information World66 rating: [rate it] tel.: +49 451 122 54 06 email: tb-breite@luebeck-tourismus.de address: Breite Straße 62 url: www.luebecker-verkehrsverein.de Tourist Information Office Edit This type: Tourist Information World66 rating: [rate it] address: Breite Str. 62 openings: Mon–Fri 9.30am–6pm, Sat & Sun 10am–2pm.

A Lübeck-Card, which can be used on public transport and for reduced entrance fees for museums and harbour-trips, costs DM9 for one day or DM18 for three days. ______Getting There Edit This x LÜBECK is just over thirty minutes from Hamburg by train, but as many north and southbound trains depart from here, it's not necessary to return to Hamburg to continue your tour. What's more, Scandinavia-bound ships leave from nearby Travemünde. ________Museums Edit This [Add Museum] Marzipan-Salon Edit This The sweet treat marzipan definitely is a Lübeck speciality. In late 1999, the famous marzipan confectioner Niederegger opened the Marzipan Salon at his main branch in Lübeck´s pedestrian precinct. There is no admission fee, and you can learn a lot about the history and the making of marzipan. A video and many exhibits take the visitors into the world of sweets. As a special feature, you can admire marzipan figures in a size of a man. They show people who had a sweet passion-e.g. Karl IV who was not only a Roman-German emperor, but also a marzipan lover. type: general World66 rating: [rate it] tel.: +49 451 5301126 email: info@niederegger.de address: Breite Straße 89,Altstadt url: www.niederegger.de openings: 9am-7pm Mon-Fri; 9am-6pm Sat; 10am-6pm Sun Budenbrooks House Edit This x Sometimes reality follows fiction. The house with the white Baroque facade has of course never been the home of the Buddenbrooks, as they were a product of Thomas Mann's literary imagination. Nevertheless, the building is known by their name today. This might be absolutely justified, since the fictitious Buddenbrook family had more than a few characteristics in commone with the Manns. And the Manns really did live here - Thomas Mann described the place of his youth in his novel 'Buddenbrooks’. Today, the house is nothing but a stylish piece of scenery.

Guided tours Fridays 7pm and Saturdays 2pm. Admission to these costs 15 DM. Puppet Theatre Museum – Puppentheater-Museum Edit This x The museum is sightly hidden in one of the narrow Old Town alleys near St. Petri church and the Holstentor. It has one of the world´s largest and most impressive collections of puppets and puppet theatre equipment within its walls. The exhibition is spread over three historic buildings and displays artistically hand-made marionettes, glove puppets, props, stages, posters and shadow theatre figures, which date from the 18th and 19th centuries. Barrel organs are also on display here. The more than 1000 exhibits have been collected from all over the world. type: general World66 rating: [rate it] tel.: +49 45 17 86 26 gettingthere: Holstenstraße: Bus 10 address: Kleine Petersgrube 4-5 / Kolk 16, Altstadtinsel openings: 10am-6pm daily admission: adults DM 6, students DM 5, children DM 3 St. Annen-Museum Edit This The nuns of St. Augustine became victims of the Reformation. In 1531, the cloister was expropriated by the city council and henceforth used for profane purposes such as a poorhouse and prison. Large parts of the complex were destroyed in a fire in 1843, including the cloister's church. Nevertheless parts of the building in late gothic style have remained, serving as a museum for medieval ecclesiastical art. The collection is extraordinary prominent in quality and extent. Numerous gothic altars and church statues are displayed here, as well as completely furnished rooms of old more.. type: general World66 rating: [rate it] tel.: +49 451 122 41 37 The Lubeck Coin Treasure-Der große Lübecker Münzschatz Edit This x When the house 'An der Obertrave 16’ was torn down in 1984, an excavator dug up a strange something covered in verdigris. He couldn´t have guessed that it was a real treasure ' 24,000 gold and silver coins which were hidden here for 450 years. In a unique exhibition at the Burgkloster vaults the great Lübeck 'Münzschatz”(coin treasure) and its history are displayed as a story on a merchant's products and money. It deals with the three categories of money, the trade of the Hanseatic League and the coins. So if you are interested in the reason why the 'Groschen’ is called more.. type: general World66 rating: [rate it] tel.: +49 451 122 41 95 address: Hinter der Burg 2-4 openings: 10am-5pm Tue-Sun (April-September); 10am-4pm Tue-Sun (October-March) Museumskirche St. Katharinen Edit This It's obvious to everyone that the steeple of St. Katharine's is missing. It is in fact not really missing, but was simply never plannedm out of modesty, for St. Katharine's was the cloister church of Lübeck's Franciscans, and their order demanded humility and modesty. A steeple was regarded as idle decoration. The choir was finished as early as 1300, while the main nave was built from 1335 to 1358. Funding was not a problem, since in the time of the Black Death the Franciscans particularly were getting huge contributions by wealthy Lübeckers who were worried about their more.. type: general World66 rating: [rate it] tel.: +49 451 122 41 80 gettingthere: Große Burgstraße: Bus 1, 4, 11, 13, etc. address: Königstraße 29,Altstadt openings: 10-13.00; 14.00-17.00 Tue-Sun (April to September) Ethnological Museum - Zeughaus / Völkerkundesammlung Edit This x The stretched building in the cathedral's shadow has seen a past full of changes and different functions. Built in 1594, it got an impressive Renaissance face, yet it was only meant to serve as the municipal grain warehouse. Later it became the weaponry for the municipal military, or Zeughaus. After that, wool was stored here, and since the beginning of the 20th century it was the headquarters of police. Today, the building is home to a collection of ethnology articles, consisting of more than 25,000 items from non-European cultures type: general World66 rating: [rate it] tel.: +49 451 122 43 42 address: Parade 10, Altstadt openings: 10am-5pm Tue-Sun (April to September); 10am-4pm Tue-Sun (October to March) admission: DM 5 for adults and DM 1 for children. Behn and Draeger House Edit This x The Behn House and Dräger House are jewels with their faces showing the cool, yet stylish elegance of the late 18th century, and which appear so different from the austere brick faces of the old patrician residences. But the treasures are hidden inside the buildings - an extensive collection of paintings and sculptures from the 19th and 20th centuries can be seen here, and the collection is always being augmented by new items. And there are also historic rooms, demonstrating the living culture of wealthy Lübeck citizens around 1800 with original furniture. Also included among more.. type: general World66 rating: [rate it] openings: 10am-5pm Tue-Sun tel.: +49 451 122 41 48 address: Königstraße 9-11, Altstadt Holstentor Museum Edit This In spite of its bulky appearance the town gate, completed in 1477, was no real fortification building. In fact it was meant to be an impressive symbol of the city's wealth and independence. The gate's front side with its massive walls and narrow embrasures stands for the permanent readiness for defence while the town side shows a face of sophisticated splendid artwork and many gothic windows. Today, the Holstentor is the main landmark of Lübeck and home of the museum of municipal history. Among the items displayed in the exhibition are antique weapons and armour as well as ship more.. type: general World66 rating: [rate it] tel.: +49 451 122 41 29 address: Holstentorplatz, Altstadt openings: 10am-5pm Tue-Sun (April to September); 10am-5pm (October to March) admission: 5 DM for adults and 1 DM for children under 18 years. __________Clubs and Discos Edit This [Add New] Eishaus Edit This House music and changing events type: general World66 rating: [rate it] tel.: +49 451 515 55 address: Geniner Straße 199 Queen's Club Edit This Dancing till dawn type: general World66 rating: [rate it] tel.: +49 451 358 10 address: Falkenstraße 45 Abaco Edit This Dancing at the city limits type: general World66 rating: [rate it] tel.: +49 451 499 26 11 address: Daimlerstraße 2 Dancing by the canal Edit This type: general World66 rating: [rate it] tel.: +49 451 766 33 address: Hüxterdamm 14 Red Zone Edit This Techno-parties and more type: general World66 rating: [rate it] tel.: +49 451 772 70 address: An der Untertrave 81 Riva Edit This type: general World66 rating: [rate it] tel.: +49 451 707 19 69 address: Kanalstraße 78 Body & Soul Edit This Small disco on the water type: general World66 rating: [rate it] tel.: +49 451 706 000 0 address: Kanalstraße 78 Hanseaten-Diele Edit This A dancehall for the "middle-aged" type: general World66 rating: [rate it] tel.: +49 738 34 address: Königstraße 25 Riders Café Edit This type: general World66 rating: [rate it] tel.: +49 451 898 105 address: Leinweberstraße 4 Ziegelei Edit This Dancing the night away type: general World66 rating: [rate it] tel.: +49 4501 369 address: Sierksrade / Groß Weeden New Bambu Edit This The double-decker disco type: general World66 rating: [rate it] tel.: +49 4561 558 201 address: Sierksdorfer Straße 3-7 |
