Old Port Gothmund : info and guided tour

Introduction to Old Port Gothmund

Old Port Gothmund is located in the Gothmund district, north of Lübeck, at Fischerweg 11-12. This small marina is appreciated for its peaceful maritime setting along the Trave, as well as for the traditional atmosphere that defines this historic area of the Hanseatic city.

The site is best known as a local harbor, linked to the history of the fishing village of Gothmund. Around the basin, the boats and harbor facilities reflect the nautical character of the site, while the low houses of the district create a typical Baltic coast setting, simple and well preserved.

Old Port Gothmund appeals to visitors for its authenticity more than for any single monument. People come here to observe the harbor, the water, the quays and the riverside scenery, but also to discover a living part of Lübeck’s heritage, where the maritime identity remains visible in the layout of the place.

This site is emblematic for those looking for a local, understated atmosphere away from the main tourist streets. Its appeal lies in the whole formed by the harbor, the village and its very direct connection to the river, which make Gothmund a favorite landmark in Lübeck.
