Individual Sights in LübeckSight 1: Kleverschusskreuz
The Kleverschusskreuz is a wayside cross from the first half of the 15th century in the Hanseatic city of Lübeck. The limestone stone cross showed pilgrims the way to the Church of the Miracle Blood in Bad Wilsnack (Brandenburg). One mile of the way to the Church of the Miracle Blood, which was often started barefoot, gave the pilgrim a day's indulgence.

Sight 9: Museumshafen
The Lübeck Museum Harbour 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 addition to many old cargo gliders typical of the Baltic Sea, a dredging vessel and a tugboat are also part of the inventory.
