Was Ist Los Am Wochenende In Lübeck
Alright, folks, gather 'round. I've got a tale to tell about a weekend in Lübeck, a city that's so charming, it'll make your heart do a little walzer. Now, you might be thinking, "Lübeck? Isn't that just a place where old Hans goes to buy his pipe tobacco?" Well, hold onto your pickled herring, because I'm about to blow the lid off this Baltic gem.
Friday Night: The Night of a Thousand Beers (or so it felt)
So, there I was, strolling down Breite Straße, the city's main drag, on a Friday night. Now, I've been to plenty of cities, but I've never seen a street so broad - it's like they were daring me to do a little jig in the middle of the road. And jig I did, because, well, beer.
Lübeck's got more breweries than you can shake a stein at. I started at Brauhaus Wolters, where they brew their beer right there in the basement. I was expecting some grimy, underground operation, but no, it's all shiny and modern down there. I felt like I'd stepped into a beer-making spaceship. The beer? Out of this world. I had the Lübecker Pilsner, and let me tell you, it was so crisp, it could've given a lemon a run for its money.
Must Read
Next up was Braugasthaus Fiol. Now, I'm not one to brag, but I've got a bit of a reputation for my beer knowledge. So, when the bartender asked if I wanted to try their Roggenbier, I said, "Bring it on, Hans!" Turns out, it's a rye beer, and it was like drinking a beer-flavored breadstick. Delicious.
Saturday: A Day of Culture (and more beer)
Alright, I know what you're thinking, "Enough with the beer, already!" But hear me out, because Saturday was all about culture. I started at the Holstentor, Lübeck's most famous gate. It's like the city's welcoming committee, all towering and imposing. I half expected a troll to pop out and demand a toll.
Next up was the Museumsquartier St. Annen. Now, I'm not much of a museum guy, but this place was amazing. They've got art from way back when, and even a mummy. Yes, you read that right. A mummy. I half expected it to sit up and say, "Hey, I've been here for centuries, and I've had enough of this place!"

But the real star of the show was the Gudendorf Brewery. This place is like a beer theme park. They've got a beer garden, a museum, and even a beer school. I learned more about beer in that place than I did in college. And the best part? The beer tasting. I felt like a kid in a candy store. Or, you know, a grown man in a beer store.
Sunday: The Day of Relaxation (and a little more beer)
Sunday was all about taking it easy. I started at the Lübecker Dom, the city's cathedral. It's a beautiful place, all Gothic and imposing. I lit a candle, said a little prayer to the beer gods, and then it was time for one last beer.
I ended my weekend at Schümann's Brauhaus. This place is like the grandpa of Lübeck's beer scene. They've been brewing beer since 1873, and they know their stuff. I had the Schümann's Export, and it was the perfect way to end my weekend.
So there you have it, folks. A weekend in Lübeck is like a rollercoaster ride of history, culture, and, of course, beer. I left with a full heart, a full belly, and a newfound appreciation for this little city by the Baltic. And if you ever find yourself in Lübeck, do me a favor - raise a stein to old Hans. He might just raise one back.
