Füchtingshof

Back in medieval times charitable foundations were established in order to ensure that widows and orphans of seafarers and merchants were cared for. The most famous foundation in Lübeck is the Füchtingshof, which can be found right in the heart of the Old Town.

Do & See

Tucked away behind the tall, steep-roofed and closely-packed houses built by prosperous merchants, lie tiny workers’ cottages in a thread of narrow passageways. Meander among the ‘roses round the door’ almshouses of Glockengießerstraße, and behind the An der Obertrave quay, to discover hidden oases of pretty streets and enchanting courtyards. Cross bridges or take a river cruise for endless eye-catching views.
