While the city has many good restaurants, Schiffergesellschaft, or the Seamen’s Society (Breitestrasse 2; schiffergesellschaft.de), in a crow-step gable building from 1535, is quintessential Lübeck. In operation since 1868, the restaurant, with its original banquet tables and 200-year-old model ships dangling from the ceiling, features regional specialties like baked zander — a game fish found only in Europe — and medallions of roasted lamb, beef and pork served atop ratatouille and fried potatoes.

Schiffergesellschaft is the oldest restaurant in town, founded 500 years ago by captains of the Hanseatic League, who met there to debate, eat and drink. Soak up the maritime atmosphere at the long, weathered dining tables and try the famous northern dish Labskaus – beef stew with sweet-and-sour garnish, fried quail’s egg and chopped salted herring. It may look a bit strange but it tastes great.

At sunset, I head to the spire of St Petri Church for the best views of this island of red-brick buildings and green spires before heading to the historic Schiffergesellschaft restaurant for my final serving of culture. This former 16th-century captains' club packed with maritime treasures now houses the city's most famous restaurant. There is no escaping culture in Lübeck.

The Schiffergesellschaft building goes as far back as 1401; for this reason along with the consistently delicious food, this Lubeck landmark is a favorite among tourists. The fish-based menu offers a variety of seafood combinations and can be paired with one of their many cocktails or carefully chosen wines. Contact: Breite Str.

Michelin star restaurant “Wullenwever” housed in an elegant 16th century town-house in the Old Town offers refined dining in wonderful surroundings whilst “Schiffergesellschaft” (Seafarers’ Guild) not only offers high quality food but exudes the history relating to the city’s seafaring traditions. Add to these the “Ratskeller”, with its discreet booths and more traditional German menu and “Schlumachers” where you can sample the atmosphere of earlier times in this renovated merchant’s house as well as modern, tasty (‘and somewhat out of the ordinary’) European cuisine.

Die Schiffergesellschaft ist mehr als nur ein Restaurant: Seit jeher versteht sich das ehemalige Gildehaus in der Breiten Straße als geselliger Ort der Begegnung. Die Lübecker Schiffergesellschaft entstammt den Anfängen der kommerziellen Seefahrt und war ursprünglich für alle Schiffer der Hansestadt verpflichtend. Mit dem Erlöschen der Beitragspflicht entstand vor rund 150 Jahren das, was die Schiffergesellschaft heute ist: Ein traditionelles, hanseatisches Restaurant mit moderner Küche und historischem Ambiente.

This historic venue offers local seafood and traditional Lübeck dishes. Located in the historic vaults beneath the Lübeck town hall, it carries a lot of history and now serves regional and traditional cuisine. Once a guild house in the heart of Lübeck's Old Town, it was a meeting place for sailors to conduct business or toast to good journeys.

Toast Lübeck at: The Schiffergesellschaft, inside a seafarers' guild hall dating back to 1535. During winter, merchants couldn’t set sail, so they’d stay at places like the Schiffergesellschaft and bide their time making models of wooden ships, many of which now hang from the ceiling of this spectacular wooden restaurant and beer hall.

The “Schiffergesellschaft” is one of those historic brick houses that make Lübeck what it is. The Schiffergesellschaft was once a seamen’s association in which every skipper in the Hanseatic city had to be a member. Today, the building houses a restaurant that has been maintained in the spirit of this long tradition.

Lübeck’s seafarer’s guild was founded at the beginning of the 15th century. In 1535 it bought and revamped a house opposite the Jakobikirche, which would be the guild’s base until it was broken up in the 19th century. Now the guildhall is a traditional tavern and has looked after all of the old-time decorations.

Read as ‘the house of the seamen’s guild’, it is one of the most striking guild houses right from the Hanseatic era. Constructed during the fifteenth century, in renaissance style, it has high gothic windows and stepped gables. The interior is made of paneled wood, brass fittings, and rough wooden furniture.

Restaurant Schiffergesellschaft er hverken ny eller fancy - ej heller menukortet. Det er derimod en af de restauranter i Lübeck, der holder fast i traditionerne og det smukke gamle gavlhus midt i byen er absolut et besøg værd. Navnet stammer fra dengang, huset var skipperlaugets gildeshus.

It’s from the 1500s and it was the drinking place for the seafarers. Today it’s a popular restaurant that you need to make reservations to be able to get a table. According to us, they serve rustic homemade food and you are one hundred percent to be satisfied with a visit to this place.

And so to dinner at the Schiffergesellschaft, a remarkable place where sailors once lived while waiting for the sea ice to melt after winter. It’s been here for 500 years and in the high – beamed dining hall you certainly feel the atmosphere as you sit at long wooden communal tables.

It’s hard not to fall under the magical spell of this former sailor’s haunt from 1535, where ship models, lanterns, and other nautical memorabilia hang from paneled walls and ceilings above scrubbed-oak plank tables and high-backed wooden booths carved with the coats of arms of…
