Private Tour of the Holstentor Museum and Historic Lubeck

Very worth seeing museum in Lübeck!

In the Museum Holstentor there are various themed rooms. The first room deals with European-wide foreign trade during the Hanseatic period, followed by a presentation of local trade within the Hanseatic city. The old Lübeck city model presents the prototype of a Hanseatic city built exclusively from bricks. Another room shows the importance of seafaring and various old ship models that contributed significantly to the economic success of the city. Another room deals with the armament of the Holsten Gate. The history of the Holstentor and its integration into a massive defence system as well as the development of this building from a landmark to a trademark is another topic of this tour. Using late medieval torture instruments such as a stretching bench, a firing iron, a judging chair and a Spanish cloak, historical legal instruments that were then available for the "awkward (= painful) interrogation" are presented in the last room. The staff was very nice and friendly as well as helpful. Credit card payment is also possible. There is also an entrance fee. I had free access to the museum on presentation of my severely disabled ID. However, the museum is not equipped for the disabled. There is no elevator in the round towers. There are many, narrow stairs to climb. Nevertheless, it is worth a visit to the museum.

St. Anne's Museum - Medieval Sacred Art with a Private Guide

Beautiful Museum in a Beautiful setting.

I have visited many museums but this one was one of the best. The building it is housed in is an old 15th century monastery, and there are so many beautiful pieces of art you can get so close to. From church altar screens to statues and building decoration, to paintings, there was so much to see. Also the area devoted to interiors from the past was just as interesting. A great museum and a must stop if in Lubeck.
