Holstentor

Reviewed By crabscoot

I spent a few days in Hamburg and wanted to visit somewhere else. My host recommended Lubeck and off I went! It was stunning, I absolutely love it, compare to Hamburg. It is full of culture, little alley ways to walk around and visit the small city. Took about an hour from Hamburg with train. I would highly recommend this place for a day visit!

Willy Brandt House, Lubeck

Reviewed By MarcNL015 - Delft, The Netherlands

What a magnificent place to learn about the European history of the 20th century. Just as the exhibition in Berlin I visited a few years ago, it was remarkable to realize again the impact of a true leader on the European history. Absolute must see in the city!

Theaterfigurenmuseum

The Museum of Theatre Puppets will be closed for two years while the buildings will be renovated. The buildings, some of which date to the 16th century need to be restored, and the 35 year old exhibition will be updated. The work is scheduled to begin in January 2018. The Puppet Theater Museum was established in 1982 by collector Fritz Fey and preserves a unique collection dealing with the theme of Puppet Theater. Belonging in its inventory are a variety of puppets, props, theater scenery, and placards, as well as musical instruments from the continents of Asia, Africa, and Europe. A collection acquisition conducted in 2010 on behalf of the Possehl Stiftung documented more than 30,000 exhibits. Some objects are up to 300 years old. The collection of Lubeck’s Puppet Theater Museum is internationally known in expert circles. The Museum finds itself adjacent to Lubeck’s Puppet Theater where modern pieces are staged for children and adults.

Gunter Grass-Haus

Gunter Grass has been living in the environs of the Hanse City since 1986, and the office of the Nobel laureate is housed in the same building. The historic group of buildings therefore provides the ideal location for the presentation of his creative work within an up-to-date museum set-up. The main focus of the museum is the exploration and presentation of literature and visual arts, as they come together in the work of Gunter Grass, who is not only a writer, but also works as graphic artist, painter and sculptor. Despite being located in close vicinity to the name giver, the Gunter Grass House is an independent museum. For interdisciplinary research the museum has access to a collection of more than 1,100 original drawings, lithographs, water colours and etchings as well as numerous manuscripts. The exhibition "Hitting the Imprecise With Precision" based on the collection continually provides new insights into the creative processes of the artist and shows up connections between the two worlds, the literary and the visual, in his creative work. The exhibition also highlights aspects in the life and work of Gunter Grass who is known for causing public controversy both in his work and his political statements. In a separate series of exhibitions the museum presents artists who work in more than one creative discipline. Among those artists with dual or even multiple talents who have been shown at the museum are such diverse personalities as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Hermann Hesse, Gottfried Keller, Arno Schmidt, Ernst Barlach, Janosch, Robert Gernhardt and John Lennon.

Günter Grass is known for his novels, for which he received the Nobel prize for literature. However he has made an incredible amount of drawings, etchings, water-colours, etc. In this museum one can see a selection of his works. Well worth a visit! Highly recommended.

European Hansemuseum

The European Hansemuseum is the largest museum in the world dedicated to the history of the Hanse. A combination of staged historical scenes, cabinets with valuable original objects, the latest museum technology and interactive features enable the museum to convey an informative and fascinating impression of the world of the Hanse, whose legacy can still be felt today. Novgorod, Lübeck, Bruges, Bergen and London represent selected stages in the history of the Hanse.

This outstanding, modern and extremely well equiped Museum in the beautiful hanseatic town of Lübeck is a MUST if you are interested in the history of central and northern Europe. Only "but": a good portion of time is needed to appraise this complex topic. Time that is well spent!
