European Hansemuseum

Extremely impressive museum with fully immersive experience and interactive facilities. Lively setups make you feel like you’ve traveled back in time. Easy to understand interactive screens with simple animations and multiple language to learn about Hanseatic history. Guests are spread out for comfortable viewing. Not a dull corner throughout the museum. Behind every door is a new surprise awaiting. Probably best museum I have visited in my lifetime. Highly recommend if you’re traveling in Lübeck.

If you visit Lübeck, start your trip here! The museum offers an accessible narrative of the rather complicated story of the Hansa and Lübeck. Using lot of technology you can spend hours in the exhibition listening to podcasts and read the texts. Children-friendly. The price-16 euro includes the visit to the Dominican monastery with life size creepy Dominicans. The museum shop is small but interesting. Also a coffeeshop. Strongly recommended.

The museum is well structured and very informative. A lot can be learned about the Hansa, its history, impact, economy, and society. I liked the alternating types of galleries: themed gallery and object gallery. It is also a museum that thought about young visitors. The interaction with the tickets to unlock screens was fine at first but became a bit of a nuisance. The adjacent preserved monastery was beautifully conserved!

Beautiful detailed history. Lots of understandable info, the devices with card readers were easy to use. No waiting than a normal payment. Very helpful polite personales. Free for students. Highly recommended.

A very well done, modern museum that strikes a good balance between immersive and informative elements. We learned a lot about the history of the Hanse, including our kids who went with their well-done quiz booklet that helped them stay engaged. We generally enjoy museums, but can see how this is also a great place to start for folks (and kids!) who aren't too experienced with museum visits, given the engaging and vivid exhibition on display here.

One of the best museums I’ve ever been to. Very big really well laid out staff or fantastic. I would highly recommend this museum.

Visiting on my own on a mobility scooter, it can be a bit tricky to open all the doors as only a few of them have a remote opening button but I did manage them all and enjoyed a very good couple of hours going around leaving about the history of the Hanse trading association. A magnetic key card enables lots of interactive screens and info media.

Nice museum about the Hanseatic League. My only complaints so far is the mistakes about Eastern European history and deliberate misspellings and translation (Kyiv not “Kiev”), hryvnia as “Russian” currency, and translating Lettland/Lettisch as Lithuanian/Lithuania, and no explanation that the Neva River and the settlements along there were historically inhabited by Finnic peoples and not Muscovites. It would be nice to see the incorporation of histories relating to other more significant towns and cities (especially in Baltic countries, Finland, and Denmark) instead of a focus on Novgorod, which had a barely significant connection to the Hansa.
