The Hausestadt Danzig museum is located in Lübeck in the Engelsgrube in a brick building from the end of the 13th century. The museum was in 1981/1982 by the Gdansk Förderkreis e. V. set up. The museum gives an impression of the culture of Danzig and the Gdansk region until the end of the Second World War through the arrangement and design of the rooms as well as the exhibits.
Sight 18: 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 winter, when the vintage cars are moored, this inner museum harbour is most frequented. In addition to many old cargo gliders typical of the Baltic Sea, a dredging vessel and a tugboat are also part of the inventory. In summer, however, due to the breakdown-prone swing bridge, many museum ships are moored on the other side and north of it, preferably in the outer museum harbour, the Hansahafen, directly in front of the Media Docks on the Wall peninsula.
Sight 19: St.-Matthäi-Kirche
St. Matthäi is a monument-protected neo-Gothic church building in Lübeck-St. Lorenz-Nord and a church service center of the same name in the church circle of Lübeck-Lauenburg, the North Elbian church.
