The Warder Church is a parish church and was first documented around 1198. Its name derives from a peninsula in Lake Warder, where a chapel is said to have once stood. It is located in the municipality of Rohlstorf, directly on Lake Wadersee, and belongs to the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Warder. The present church is a parish church belonging to the Rohlstorf estate. A parish church, also called an estate church, is a village church located near an estate and under the patronage of the lord of the manor. Among other things, it is his responsibility to maintain the church building.

East of Herreninsel, on the right bank, lies the district of Schlutup, with the mouth of the Lübecker Landgraben. Opposite, the Dummersdorfer Ufer begins with its Stülper Huk. The Trave then widens eastward to the aforementioned Pötenitzer Wiek. The Stepenitz flows into Lake Dassow. The Trave estuary between the Pötenitzer Wiek and the open Bay of Lübeck, bordered west by Travemünde and east by Priwall, is essentially an estuary.

The seaports begin north of the Holsten Gate. At the northern end of the Old Town Island near the Burgtor, the city moat, the Stadttrave, and the Kanaltrave rivers merge again. Lübeck's trading ports are located between the Holsten Gate and the Teerhof Island, which was artificially created by a cut in the 19th century. Where the cut and the old fairway meet, the Schwartau flows in from the north. On the peninsula between this and the old Trave lies the Slavic hillfort Liubice. Past the Schellbruch nature reserve and the fishing village of Gothmund, it flows to Herreninsel, today a peninsula, to the north of which it is crossed by the Herrentunnel. From Travemünde, connecting the Norder-/Südermole, it is considered an inland body of water; a regular inflow of water from the Bay of Lübeck ensures a salinity of between 2 and 5 g/kg. Due to its glacial origin, the estuary between Herreninsel and the mouth of the Bay of Lübeck, including the widening

The Wakenitz, which originally bordered the old town to the east, is channeled under the Kanaltrave at the Rehderbrücke (formerly the Krähenbrücke) through a culvert into the Krähenteich (Crow Pond), and from there flows through the Mühlenteich (Mill Pond) into the Stadttrave (Lübeck dialect: Obertrave). This is part of the original Travelauf (Trave River) on the western edge of the old town. On its left bank are the salt warehouses. North of the Holstentor, this Travelauf becomes part of the Untertrave (Lübeck dialect: Stadttrave), but remains officially called the Stadttrave until its confluence with the Kanaltrave. On the right bank, on the street An der Obertrave, stands the University of Music. West of the former ramparts runs the Lübeck city moat.
