Lübeck is unique and wonderful. The historic centre, with its enchanting alleys and courtyards, seven church towers and famous Holsten Gate is Lübeck’s pride and joy. It offers a cultural variety that is sure to make everyone happy: from the new European Hansemuseum to the “Welterbe von Innen” in the St. Annen museum quarter and right up to the three Nobel Prize winners of Lübeck. Just a stone’s throw away, Travemünde beckons with its old lakeside resort tradition and beautiful beach on the Baltic Sea.
We have summarised the most beautiful leisure activities and are looking forward to your visit!

Who has never heard of it? The "Buddenbrooks" novel by Thomas Mann, the Nobel Laureate. The cultural city of Lübeck has even dedicated one of the most exceptional literature museums in the world to him and behind the white baroque façade dating from 1758 brings the story of the Buddenbrooks to life.
Heinrich and Thomas Mann are two of Lübeck's most famous sons. The Buddenbrooks House in Mengstraße is dedicated to the two writers and the "Buddenbrooks" novel. The world's most exceptional literary museum lies behind the white baroque façade dating from 1758. The world's only literature project originally arose from the Expo 2000.
Due to extensive renovations, the Buddenbrookhaus will remain closed for approx. 3 years. Afterwards the house will shine in new splendor:
The exhibition area will be significantly enlarged and the exhibition concept modernized. A large touchscreen in the “Buddenbrooks am Markt” information center on Lübeck's town hall market provides information on the progress of the construction work.
During the closure you will find the "Buddenbrooks in Behnhaus" in the Museum Behnhaus Drägerhaus in a newly compiled special exhibition. The world-famous family from the novel by Thomas Mann welcomes you in an original merchant's hall from the 18th century. When Heinrich Breloer filmed Buddenbrooks in 2008, the family moved into the Behnhaus for a few scenes. Here, in the historic living rooms, the ambience of Buddenbrooks and Heinrich Mann's Lübeck novel Professor Unrat comes to life. An eGuide was specially designed for this exhibition. With your own smartphone or tablet, you can also experience all the contents of the exhibition without contact.
