Your Itinerary
Holstentor
Explore the Jewish history and highlights of Lubeck’s Old Town with a Local History Expert-Guide. Most city tours skip on the Jewish history, but it is actually pretty interesting and worth discovering. As an imperial city and capital of the Hanseatic League, Lubeck did not permit Jewish people to reside within its gates, with a few exceptions that you will learn about during the tour. You will see the famous Holstentor gate
St. Mary's Church
Explore the impressive St. Mary’s Church, located within the Hanseatic merchants' district where some Jewish merchants would also come from time to time.
Katharineum
Another point of interest will be the Katharineum, where Rabbi Felix F. Carlebach and his son, and some other Jewish students and professors attended. You will also see the only synagogue in the “City of Seven Towers”, and learn about the “Night of the Broken Glass” and the Holocaust.
Lubeck Cathedral
(Pass by)
The tour will pass the Museum of St. Anne’s Church, and end in front of the magnificent Lubeck Cathedral. If you wish, you can enter inside and hear its fascinating history from your passionate Private Guide.
