Trip information

Since 1911 the Sailing ship Eye of the Wind über alle Weltmeere. Am 18. April kann der Großsegler, der übrigens auch schon als Filmkulisse in mehreren Hollywood-Produktionen zu Leinwandruhm gelangte, besichtigt werden. Im Rahmen eines Open Ship the crew will answer questions from all seafarers, ship lovers and young sea dogs about the Ship and its History. Every visitor can try out sailor's knots in a "knot school", and collectors will of course also receive a ship's stamp.

Admission is free. Registration or booking is not necessary for participation in the Open Ship. There is no day trip during the Open Ship; the ship remains moored at its berth. The organiser reserves the right to change the berth at short notice.

This is where you board

Lübeck

As a maritime museum, the Holstenhafen is home to numerous traditional sailing ships. The first port of call is the Holstentor (photo), which many people still recognise as the image on the back of the 50-DM banknotes. From this landmark, a small bridge leads into the ‘City of Seven Towers’.

In the 14th century, Lübeck was regarded as the “Queen of the Hanse”. Even today, the city’s coat of arms still features the red and white shield of the Hanseatic League. It is well worth visiting the nearby European Hanseatic Museum. The multimedia exhibition explores trade, cultural history and seafaring across 600 years of the Hanseatic era. Housed in a former castle monastery, the museum, with an area of 4,000 square metres, is regarded as the world’s largest exhibition dedicated to the Hanseatic League.

 

Our tip: In the evening, you can take part in a guided night watchman’s walk through the historic city centre. Incidentally, a particular speciality has been produced here since the Hanseatic era – the world-famous Lübeck marzipan.
