Lüneburg Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

The pretty, old salt town of Lüneburg is always worth a visit. There are many highlights and many beautiful old houses to see there, especially in the old town, as well as on the Sande or in the Lüneburg water district from the Ilmenau (Stintmarkt, Alter Kran and much more).

Historic Old Town Lüneburg

Highlight • Historical Site

The old town is full of historic half-timbered houses with beautiful carvings, especially the Ratsapotheke on the water tower makes something and offers great views. The Abtsmühle and the Alte Kran an der Ilmenau are also worth a look.

Stintmarkt in the historic water district, Lüneburg

Highlight • Historical Site

The Stintmarkt is located in the historic water district of Lüneburg. As the name suggests, the fish species "smelt" used to be traded here, a small, herring-like fish that was very popular in the Middle Ages.

Similar to salmon, smelts swim into the rivers in late February to spawn in the sandy bottom. They were caught and traded at the smelt market.

Today, Lüneburg's most famous bar and restaurant mile is located on the Stintmarkt. The medieval houses, all of which are very well preserved, offer a fantastic and much-used photo backdrop.

View of the Old Crane (Alter Kran) in Lüneburg

Highlight • Monument

The old crane dates back to the 14th century, it was used to lift goods and also the Lüneburg salt works. In its prime, the crane even managed to lift a steam locomotive. Today the crane is a landmark of Lüneburg and adorns the water district. You can stop here and enjoy the view of the harbor.

Southern part of the old town

Highlight • Historical Site

It's not so easy to walk in the city itself. But it's definitely worth seeing.

Lüneburg Council Mill

Highlight • Monument

The Ratsmühle is in tourist hibernation, it doesn't deserve it. I rediscovered this area last year and am very impressed. Two old water towers (water art) from the middle of the 15th century still stand. One here at the Ratsmühle, the older one at the Abtsmühle (the gate to the "Brausebrücke").
I found two links that describe the development of this mill well:

kleiekotzer.com/page30.html
quadratlueneburg.de/ratsmuehle-getreide.html

This could change with the new “Museum Lüneburg” building, the conversion of the old Nordlandhalle and the proximity to the water tower.
This area was the dirty corner of Lüneburg's center. Thanks to the new buildings and renovations, this corner is getting a new look and is magical in the summer. The new “Museum Lüneburg” has a terrace where you can enjoy the whole thing with coffee and cake. It is now possible to walk around the whole thing again. Discover it yourself.

Heiligenthal Manor Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

Heiligenthal manor chapel

The brick chapel, built on a boulder foundation, was first built in 1568.
Inscription panels set into the walls remind of the founder, Anna von Möller, wife of the first lord of Heiligenthal, and of the renovations in 1837, 1922 and 1975.
The artistically valuable work of an unknown master is the baptismal font created in 1665.
The year of origin of the well-proportioned pulpit altar is not known.
The stalls and organ are very recent.
