Hospital of the Holy Spirit

Responsible residents of Lübeck built the Hospital of the Holy Spirit, where care was provided for the elderly and infirm in the 13th century already. At Christmas time, visitors of the craft market inside the hospital’s vaulted hall can soak up the medieval atmosphere.

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.
