Holsten Gate

Holsten Gate
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.

St. Jacob's

St. Jacob's

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 suffer any damage during the 2nd World War, the boxed pew and historic organ are still intact. The small "Stellwagen organ" is one of the best preserved examples of North German organs from the 16th century. A lifeboat commemorates the sinking of the four-masted barque "Pamir" in 1957. It is located in the north tower chapel and represents the "National Memorial for Civilian Shipping" today.

Buddenbrook-House

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 you were walking through the novel itself. Note: Due to extensive renovation work, the museum will be closed until September 2023. During this time, the interim exhibition „Mann brothers” will be on view at the Behnhouse/Drägerhouse.

Willy-Brandt-House Lübeck

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 written immediately after the Berlin Wall was built, and the manuscript of the government declaration from 1969 with the famous slogan "let's dare more democracy", are just as much part of the exhibition as Brandt's school leaving certificate or a letter to Nora, his daughter living in Norway. Interview transcripts and newsreels show the public appearance of Willy Brandt from his time as mayor in Berlin up to his resignation as German Federal Chancellor.
