The Museum Harbour Lübeck is located on the Wenditzufer directly on the northwestern edge of Lübeck's old town island, actually in the Holstenhafen between the listed swing bridge at the Engelsgrube and the Lübeck Music and Congress Hall. In winter, when the vintage cars are moored, this inner museum harbour is most frequented. In addition to many old cargo sailing ships typical of the Baltic Sea, a dredging ship and a tugboat are also part of the inventory. In summer, however, due to the failure-prone swing bridge, many museum ships are preferably moored on the other side and north of it in the outer museum harbour, the Hansahafen, directly in front of the Media Docks on the Wall peninsula.
