What to expect

  1. Holstentor
    Pass by
    This imposing city gate is Lübeck’s most famous symbol and a physical reminder of the city’s former might. Built in the 15th century, the gate once protected the bustling trade routes into the city. It sets the stage for understanding Lübeck’s strategic importance in the Hanseatic world.
  2. Salzspeicher
    Pass by
    Salt was one of Lübeck’s most valuable trading goods, transported from Lüneburg and shipped across the Baltic. The picturesque row of brick warehouses tells the story of how one simple mineral helped fund an economic empire.
  3. Pass by
    The Hanseatic League’s influence was political as well as economic. Lübeck’s Town Hall, one of the oldest in Germany, was a site of diplomacy and trade negotiations. The architecture reflects centuries of expansion and civic pride.
  4. Pass by
    This Gothic masterpiece was not only a spiritual center but also a declaration of power. Built by Lübeck’s merchants, it served as a model for other Hanseatic churches across the Baltic. Inside, its grandeur speaks to the wealth and ambition of Lübeck’s merchant elite.
  5. European Hansemuseum
    Pass by
    End the experience at the Hanseatic Museum, which uses immersive storytelling to bring the era of Hanseatic trade routes, merchant lives, and international diplomacy to life. Here you can learn even more!
