The Holstentor Museum in Lubeck is a historic gate which stands proud as a relic of the city's mercantile days. It is a popular tourist destination and houses displays about Lubecks medieval past. The gate is well-maintained and has an impressive effect, making it one of the highlights of any visit to Lubeck.
Beautiful town with beautiful people. A real pleasure to walk this streets of history, to eat at the riverside, to visit the museums and churches and take the lift up in the highest tower.

Beautiful medieval city gate. It’s interesting how the two towers are dissolved into the flat elevation on the inner city-facing side.

Holstein gates are the perfect solution for any garden or plot. Their stylish design and high quality workmanship make a great impression. They are strong, functional and durable. I am delighted with my Holstein Gate and would recommend it to anyone looking for an elegant and secure solution for their property.

Small but truly historical. This structure was completed in the 1400 and it's just amazing to be able to go inside and get a feel of how life was back then. It felt like being inside an old castle.
Somethings you only see in the movies. It was a great learning experience going here.

Imposing structure that you cannot miss walking into Lubeck's central square from the train station. Definitely built to denote strength and power and while it's sagging into its centre, looks like it'll still.be around 500 years from now. It's a paid museum now but just walking through the square and through its gate is an awesome experience.

Holstentor is the western gate of the fortified medieval city which was the capital of entire Hansaetic League of Baltic cities for centuries.
Dating back to 1464, it is considered one of the most beautiful medieval gates in all Germany, and for that reason was even on the back side of the old 50 DM banknote.
The gate is really stunning - fairy tale like and little bit leaned.
Inside is a small historic museum with models and history explanation and great gift shop. The outer face has gun openings for city protection, while the inner face is richly decorated. Perfect photo op both, day and night
Dejan Braki — Google review
I didn't go in to the building - not sure it was even open to be honest as both times I walked through there were no obvious signs. The building is one of the old city gates and the emblem of modern Lubeck. It is a very impressive, brick built fifteenth century fortification but now stands in isolation, the city walls having been removed in the nineteenth century.
There is an interesting contrast between the inside and outside walls of the building. The walls facing the city have lots of windows and are very ornate, the exterior walls have far fewer openings other than those for guns. There are also doubts over the accuracy of the early twentieth century restorations.

The European Hansemuseum tells the history of the renowned Hanseatic League, an organization that flourished in the Middle Ages. From powerful individuals to piracy and wars, this museum has exhibits showcasing how various events shaped this trade group.
It is a very interesting museum with its ultra high tech exhibition with some interactive approach. Lots of interesting stories from the trades in Europe in the early times. Very well explained and it is personalised to the language you choose.

What we liked: the timeslots system means it's not too crowded in the museum. Every second room or so tries to give the attendees a feeling for the time period and how people lived. The interactive book and game station in the room about London are great. We also enjoyed the Hansetag exhibit.The RFID system is a nice idea to make the experience a bit more interactive even if it is just about bringing up information. The kids got free headphones to listen to stories throughout the visit.
What we did not like: several of the rooms were quite bland and the exhibited contracts etc. seemed to be largely copies (and not very authentic looking ones). The headphones were too big for kids ears so we recommend bringing your own. Several RFID sensors did not work. The kids would need special audio stories. They found the current information too overwhelming and the speakers too fast. We were also missing some information: not every Hanse city in Germany is listed (e.g. near the entrance where one can search for cities). We also missed more info on shipping and life on sea in general. The beginning and end of the Hanse also could have been emphasized a bit more.

Visiting from America - I absolutely loved this museum. The staff are extremely friendly, helpful, and informative. There are different areas of museum property you can view, and the main exhibit is admission time spaced which is great for people traffic flow. Descending into the first part of the main exhibit, I got chills (not because it's cold). You are dropped directly into an archeological dig site. The flow of cultural information throughout the main exhibit is presented in chronological order, which I felt made for a very engaging experience. I felt like I wanted to keep reading, keep moving forward, keep discovering what happens next (as if I was reading a novel). I read every single exhibit placard (English translation was grammatically correct & available on every placard). Display cases where minimally filled, which was enjoyable because I was able to focus on the relevance of that particular object. I do wish the lighting throughout was turned up just a little bit, but I can also understand the vision of having low lighting to illustrate the time in history this exhibit is representing. Not all of the audio guide plug ins worked for me. I did appreciate the way you can sort of customize the category of history you most want to learn about, with the interactive ticket to display screens. And I do wish the gift shop had more selection specific to the exhibit. I wasn't informed that part of the museum was closed prior to my entering the exhibit, but they do provide you with a QR code that links you to the rest of the exhibit information. It took me two hours (because I was reading everything), and I didn't view the museum in it's entirety. 9.5 out of 10!

Travemünde is a tranquil coastal destination and a key port for Scandinavian ferries. Along the Trave River and Strandpromenade, patrons can savor seafood fare at various eateries while enjoying scenic views of Travemünde Beach and the Bay of Lübeck. Fish sandwiches are available for purchase at the Fishermen's harbor stalls.
Lubeck's most important church, Marienkirche, is a beautiful Gothic structure that was rebuilt after almost being destroyed by the RAF during WWII. The intricate details of the brick-vaulted roof are what fascinate people, rather than the sheer size and height of the building.
Amazing interior. So high are the towers that they can almost touch the sky.

A monumental church with a few curiosities including a spectacular wall clock and a bell that’s fallen from the tower, crashed into the floor and left there for everyone to see.

Marienkirche is the third-largest church in Germany, and one of the five large Gothic brick churches in Lübeck. The interior is stunning and learning the history of it was so interesting. During an air raid, a lot of the church was destroyed but it's been beautifully restored. During my time at the church, they were restoring another facade as well. There is a reconstruction of the Danse Macabre, and also some beautiful reliefs of the Last Supper and some statues of Mary, Gabriel, etc. I'm a huge fan of Bach and I was delighted to read that Bach may have come to Marienkirche to play the now-destroyed Totentanzorgel (Danse Macabre organ). I believe they also have services in Marienkirche, although I went on a weekday so I'm not 100% positive. Based on signage, I would say so. I recommend stopping in to learn about the history of Lübeck and the church, or even to sit in on a service! I'm going to come back perhaps to see the other four churches.

St. Mary's Church which was built between 1250 and 1350 is the third largest church in Germany. It and has always been a symbol of the power and prosperity of the old Hanseatic city. Entrance is ticketed, 4 eur per person but it is without doubt worth to enter and see its magnitude from every corner inside.
Paweł — Google review
Out of 7 spires that dominate Lubeck skyline, two of them belong to St. Mary's Church.
The Church was built in a time frame of 100 years between 1260 and 1350, replacing the 1200's smaller Chapel.
Lubeck's St. Mary's is considered a cornerstone of German Gothic brick Churches.
It was built according to French Gothic Churches with outer supporting arches but with use of bricks instead of stone. Likewise, the interiors feature the world's tallest brick vaults.
St. Mary's suffered a total destruction in WWII, but was rebuilt shortly after the war.
Two huge bells which fell from the Tower during the bombing are kept in one of the Chapels inside.
TIP: You wont notice the St. Mary's sheer size from the ground as it's packed in downtown area. To appreciate it's size observe it from St. Peters tower which has the best city views.
The only reason I deduct one star is paying entrance fee of 4 Euros

István Nagy — Google review
This is a huge church but it's crammed into the streets nearby so it's difficult to get an idea of the scale. Inside the church is vast - apparently the largest brick built vault in the world. The interior is whitewashed and then decorated but in a very understated way. There are a few small chapels to the side, an interesting altarpiece (I think), a recreated astronomical clock and World War 1 memorial. Definitely worth a visit to see the wealth of the Hanseatic merchants.
The Maritimer Weihnachtsmarkt is a delightful Christmas market held in December at the Koberg, where a transition garden is set up during the summer months. It's a great place to visit with children, offering homemade goods like delicacies, teas, pastries, and herbs. The market features a carousel for kids and can get quite crowded at times. Despite the crowds, it's worth a visit for both adults and children.

(Translated by Google) The Christmas market on and around the market square is always worth it. It runs from the market square through the city center. There is, among other things, a fairy tale forest for the little ones and the star forest also invites you to linger. The loving design makes you very happy to linger. And there's plenty on offer for you to enjoy.
As expected, it is very full on the weekend, so parking in the Innfnstadt is quite difficult and it is better to park a little further away in the parking garage, for example near Holstentor. Still within easy walking distance.

Der Weihnachtsmarkt auf und rund um den Marktplatz ist immer wieder lohnenswert. Er zieht sich vom Marktplatz durch die Innenstadt. U.a. gibt es für die kleinen einen Märchfnwald und auch der Sternenwald lädt zum Verweilen ein. Durch die liebevolle Gestaltung verweilt man sehr gerne. Und für den Genuss wird jede Menge geboten.
Am Wochene de erwartungsgemäß sehr voll, so daß es mit dem Parken in der Innfnstadt recht ychwierig ist und man besser etwas entfernter im Parkhaus beispielsweise Nähe Holstentor parken sollte. Dennoch fußläufig gut erreichbar.

(Translated by Google) The Christmas market in Lübeck is great as always, it stretches across half of the city center whether you take the Kohlmarkt, walk along Breite Straße, or look at the Ferris wheel on Kohberg, or this year also at the swing bridge. It's definitely worth a visit. The fairytale forest has been set up again for small and large children. The ancient market is set up behind the St. Mary's Church, with jugglers and craftsmen and the physical well-being from that time is also taken care of. Come to Lübeck and see for yourself.

Hinter der Marienkirche ist der altertümliche Markt aufgebaut, mit Gauklern Handwerkern und für das leibliche Wohl aus dieser Zeit ist auch gesorgt. Kommt nach Lübeck und schaut es euch selbst an.

St. Peter's is right in the center of Lubeck and is one of the oldest Churches in the area dating back to 12c. After WWII devastations it was rebuilt, but seized with Church services, so you'll see a huge whitewashed interiors used for public and private events.
I highly recommend visiting its tower which for a reasonable fee offers fantastic 360' views of Lubeck. There's an elevator taking you up.

The highlight of the church is actually the viewing platform at the top. After some short stairs there is an elevator that takes you to the top for 5 eur.

St. Peter's Church is most known because its viewing platform which offers the best view over Lübeck all the way to the Baltic Sea. This Roman church, once three-naved, was built between 1227 and 1250 and expanded in the 15th and 16th centuries to a five-naved Gothic hall church. It was destroyed during the Second World War, restoration work was only completed in 1987.
From outside is really beautiful, from inside almost nothing interesting. However it is worth to go up to viewing platform.
Paweł — Google review
The viewing platform on the tower is the main attraction, for us at least, at this church. Instead of glass there is a wide grille around the windows so it is a lot easier to take photos than some other attractions. There is a lift to the top - luckily - and the staff were both lovely and spoke excellent English. The church itself is heavily restored after WW2 and seems it has yet to find a new purpose. There was some sort of art exhibit inside but it wasn't really clear what it was about.

The museum features exhibits about the life and legacy of Willy Brandt, a German Social Democrat who became one of the country's most influential political leaders during the 20th century. The museum is located in his childhood home in Lübeck, and provides an insightful look intoBrandt's upbringing and early career as a journalist and politician.

This is the main Lubeck Cathedral dating back to as early as 12 cent. It has two towers (with an iron support between them) out of total of 7 on Lubeck old town panorama. Here, you cannot climb any of two (for that visit the St. Peter's).
Likewise all others it was heavily damaged during WWII bombing, but restored later.
The last renovations are still in progress, but you can visit inside and see the old wooden Altar along with the Astronomic clock. Entrance is free

Lübeck Cathedral is a large brick-built Lutheran cathedral which is a part of the Lübeck World Heritage Site. It was started in 1173 by Henry the Lion as a cathedral for the Bishop of Lübeck and unfortunately it was partly destroyed in a bombing raid in World War II (1942), when the Arp Schnitger organ was destroyed by fire, but was subsequently reconstructed.
We were not lucky as everytime we wanted to visit it inside it was closed.

Este Barco de acero de cuatro mástiles tuvo su viaje inaugural a fines de 1911 con destino al puerto de Valparaíso de Chile.
Fue utilizada durante décadas para carga de salitre y nitrato desde Chile.
El Passat se refugió en Iquique , Chile, durante la Primera Guerra Mundial y navegó en 1921 a Marsella para ser entregado a Francia como reparación de guerra.
En su historia el Passat rodeó el Cabo de Hornos 39 veces y en 1957 fue dado de baja.
El armador alemán Heinz Schliewen lo compró para convertirlo en un barco escuela de transporte de carga.
Finalmente en 1959 fue comprado por el municipio de Lübeck. y ahora es un barco museo que está amarrado en Travemünde.

This four-masted steel ship had its maiden voyage at the end of 1911 bound for the port of Valparaíso in Chile.
It was used for decades to load saltpeter and nitrate from Chile.
The Passat took refuge in Iquique, Chile, during World War I and sailed in 1921 to Marseille to be delivered to France as war reparations.
In its history the Passat circled Cape Horn 39 times and in 1957 it was decommissioned.
German shipowner Heinz Schliewen bought her to convert her into a cargo transport training ship.
Finally in 1959 it was bought by the municipality of Lübeck. and now it is a museum ship that is moored in Travemünde.
The Heiligen-Geist-Hospital is one of the oldest social institutions in the world, and has been functioning as a hospital since the 13th century. It was later repurposed as a retirement home and used as such until the 1960s, when it closed down for maintenance. The landmark is now open to tourists and features a popular Christmas market.
A 12th century institution, one of oldest on world. Restored and converted in to museum.

No charge to enter, donation recommended. Amazing history and fascinating to see. This is a fast stop as you are exploring Lübeck since you only have access to the front areas of the old hospital. Just marvel at the wonderfully preserved entrance hall and look into the large infirmary.

Heiligen Geist hospital is considered among the first hospitals and social institutions in the world. It was established in 13 cent by rich merchants of the Hanseatic League, whose capital was Lubeck, and made it as a hospital and shelter for homeless and poor.
In a very ornate Hall, there's a short history along with a model which shows how self sustainable it was with it's own agriculture, farm, etc...
Through the back door you can see the rows of private hospital cabins from 19 c which replaced the previous huge common space for ill and poor.
Entry is free, located close to the Northern city gate

Hospital of Holy Spirit in Lübeck is a remarkable historical monument that showcases the city's heritage and architectural beauty. This well-preserved establishment offers a cultural experience, with a museum providing insights into its history and the evolution of healthcare. The building's intricate design and captivating exhibits make it a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts. Located in a convenient central location, the hospital offers a unique glimpse into Lübeck's past. While it may have limitations in terms of modern amenities, a visit to the Hospital of Holy Spirit is a rewarding experience that shouldn't be missed.

Magestic architecture and display the conditions in which the people were cured a century ago.
The Buddenbrookhaus museum is dedicated to the life and work of Thomas Mann and his brother Heinrich. It was originally their family home, and it is now a museum with extensive displays about both men's careers. The building itself is beautifully preserved, with its facade still standing after being almost totally destroyed during World War II bombing.
This is the place to visit if you're interested in the life and works of Thomas Mann as well as his siblings Heinrich and Erika. This museum is well organized and provides its visitors with lots of information. I found the juxtaposition of various film adaptations of BUDDENBROOKS particularly interesting (there's a small room on the 3rd floor where they can be watched in quiet).
The gift shop offers you many (if not all) of major works (and some translations too), plus other memorabilia.

2004年9月に行き、内部も見学しました。若い頃トーマスマンの小説はほとんど読破し(ただし日本語で)、授業では、講演の「ドイツとドイツ人」がテキストでした。私にとっては聖地の一つですから、大感激ひとしおでした。

I went there in September 2004 and toured the inside as well. When I was young, I read most of Thomas Mann's novels (but only in Japanese), and in class, the text for the lecture was ``Germany and Germans.'' It's one of my sacred places, so I was very moved.

The staff was very helpful and the exhibitions very interesting but was disappointed by the house itself as I expected it to have been reconstructed the way it was (like so many other places bombarded in WWII) ... only the original facade survived and the rest is just an ordinary block of concrete walls... 2 of the rooms in the house have been re created with furniture etc... and that is rather effective , with the view on st Maria church which gives a feeling for what it could have been like living there in the 19th century.

Somewhat disappointing. The subject matter is very interesting, but one gets lost in all the details, whereas the reflection of the lights in the glass cases and the small print doesn't help. Floor about the Buddenbrooks book was worth the visit though.

The show of possibilities is entertainment for young and old. The magician Roland scores with his wit and charm and amazes time and time again. It was an enchanting, relaxed evening in a small setting and with creative magic.
From the reception to the ambience to the magic, highly recommended.

Charmante Zauberei in schöner Atmosphäre
Die Show der Möglichkeiten ist Unterhaltung für Große und Kleine. Mit Wortwitz und Charme punktet der Zauberer Roland und verblüfft ein ums andere Mal. Es war ein bezaubernder entspannter Abend in kleiner Kulisse und mit kreativer Zauberkunst.
Vom Empfang, über Ambiente bis zur Zauberei sehr zu empfehlen.
The Kunsthalle St. Annen is a museum in Cologne, Germany which specializes in art from the Middle Ages to the present day. The museum has a collection of over 1 million objects, including paintings, sculptures, and prints.
Huge museum, very unexpectedly big and full of many different kinds of works to view and even some music to enjoy! It was a very enjoyable experience.

(Translated by Google) I happened to walk by in February and then spontaneously visited the exhibition in the Kunsthalle.
Great rooms and, above all, very nice employees.
Since there wasn't much going on, a very enthusiastic lady showed me the entire exhibition and recommended an order for viewing the different levels.
The partially interactive exhibition is suitable for young and old and encourages younger guests in particular to become artistically active themselves and thus breaks down the barriers that otherwise often exist in museums or exhibitions of "not being allowed to touch anything".
Small but fine selection of (modern) art - might be a little too little for some visitors, that would be the only negative point I would have to point out.
Otherwise, I'll definitely come back when I'm in Lübeck again!
(Original)
Ich bin im Februar durch Zufall vorbeigelaufen und habe dann spontan die Ausstellung in der Kunsthalle besucht.
Tolle Räumlichkeiten und vor allem sehr nette Mitarbeiter*innen.
Da nicht viel los war, hat mir eine sehr engagierte Dame die gesamte Ausstellung gezeigt und eine Reihenfolge zur Besichtigung der verschiedenen Ebenen empfohlen.
Die teilweise interaktive Ausstellung ist für groß und klein geeignet und ermutigt vor allem jüngere Gäste, selbst künstlerisch aktiv zu werden und baut so die Barrieren ab, die sonst häufig in Museen oder Ausstellungen herrschen "nichts anfassen zu dürfen".
Kleine, aber feine Auswahl an (moderner) Kunst - könnte für manche Besucher vielleicht etwas zu wenig sein, das wäre auch der einzige negativere Punkt, den ich anzumerken hätte.
Ansonsten komme ich auf jeden Fall gerne wieder, wenn ich nochmal in Lübeck bin!

Salzspeicher, a historical landmark located at the entrance of old town, comprises a series of Renaissance-style salt warehouses constructed between 1579 and 1745. The well-preserved brick buildings were utilized in the classic horror movie Nosferatu (1922), adding to their cultural significance. Despite only a limited number of structures remaining, they remain an impressive testament to past architectural practices and continue to draw interest from visitors.
These historical salt storehouses standing on the banks of the Trave River are impressive examples of Brick Gothic architecture, which is characteristic of many buildings in Lübeck. With their imposing facades, tall gables, and numerous decorations, such a salt storehouse is an architectural gem! Originally, large quantities of salt were stored here, which was used for food preservation and as a significant commodity for trade. Salt was of great economic importance to Lübeck at that time and contributed significantly to the wealth of the city.💚!
PS. On the opposite shore are some great cafes, there you can wonderfully while enjoying a drink🍺☕🍷, for example, these salt stores quite cozy in sight...

These are old Salt warehouses built in 16th century. The preservation is so good and they look beautiful on a calm day. The houses are converted into a mall from inside but retain the old baroque style brick architecture.
Sahil Singh Parashar — Google review
Built in the 16th–18th centuries, the houses stored salt that was mined near Lüneburg and brought to Lübeck over the Stecknitz Canal. The salt was then shipped to several ports in the Baltic region, where the commodity was relatively rare, but was in high demand for the preservation of food. The salt trade from the late Middle Ages onward was a major reason for the power of Lübeck and the Hanseatic League.

The salt was then shipped to several ports in the Baltic region.

NOSFERATU!!!
Apart from being beautiful, the place means a lot to those of us who are lovers of horror movies. Wismar and Lübeck are famous on a cinematographic level because the movie NOSFERATU (year 1922) was filmed in these cities. So, as a result of its 100th anniversary, I wanted to know several places where the film was filmed, and in the case of Lübeck, I started with the old salt warehouse, a place with Gothic / Baltic architecture, and very important between the 16th and 18.

A Beautiful historic salt warehouses are a perfect spot to take a photo straight after the main entrance to the old town. Really stunning example of a Hanseatic Gothic red brick architecture! it is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. It’s open for the visitors most days 10-17:00.

The Gunter Grass House is a museum in Lubecks outskirts that showcases the writer's work and artistry. The museum is especially interesting because it features artwork from Grass' former working space.
I came there actually for Bryan Adams' photos exhibition. Not far from the Holstentor (ca. 1 km). Recommended for visitors who likes smaller, cozy, and more personal museum. The exhibition rooms consisted of
(1) space of retelling the life of Günter Grass
(2) garden, exhibits his sculpture/visual arts (I found it cool)
(3) a 'transition room' (where we should put our jacket in a cabinet)
(4) a room of his graphic design/literary works/his tools (true artists beyond borders)
(5) 2nd floor, where Bryan Adams' exhibition is taking place (until 7.1.2024)
The entrance ticket, personally, was quite pricy (€8) without discount (I got the student discount though, so it's fine). But, you could visit a second museum (valid for 3 days) for half-price. So, better plan it.
Plus, the personals there were quite friendly.

The size of the museum is just right, many beautiful paintings - both long-term and temporary exhibitions. No particularly famous paintings you know from textbooks but some less famous ones from famous artists (e.g. Kokoschka). I prefered the local artists though. The staff is nice, price ok (7 EUR vs 3.5 EUR for students). We only had 45 minutes before closure (5 p.m.) - I recommend one hour.
