Buddenbrook-House

Heinrich and Thomas Mann are two of Lübeck’s most famous sons. The Buddenbrook-House is dedicated to the two writers and the “Buddenbrooks”. This is the place to find out all you ever wanted to know about the Mann family and their works. Walk through the house with its authentically furnished rooms and feel as if you were walking through the novel itself. Note: Due to extensive renovation work, the museum will be closed until September 2023. During this time, the interim exhibition „Mann brothers” will be on view at the Behnhouse/Drägerhouse.

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.
