Schiffergesellschaft
About
The Schiffergesellschaft, located in the historic Breite Straße 2 in Lübeck’s Altstadt, blends centuries‑old Hanseatic charm with contemporary culinary flair. Guests step into a former guild hall that has hosted merchants and sea captains for over 500 years, now re‑imagined as a welcoming restaurant offering both classic North‑German fare and modern twists. The menu celebrates seasonal, local ingredients, while an extensive wine and spirit selection complements the sophisticated yet relaxed atmosphere. Beyond the kitchen, the venue boasts a range of distinguished spaces: the grand historic hall adorned with 15th‑ and 16th‑century ship models, intimate captain’s rooms, and a bright sun deck overlooking the city’s historic courtyard. The cosy Gotteskeller cellar bar offers a perfect spot for after‑dinner drinks, and the venue’s central location makes it an ideal backdrop for business lunches, couples’ dinners, and family gatherings. Whether you’re dining for a quiet evening, hosting a corporate event, or simply exploring Lübeck’s maritime heritage, the Schiffergesellschaft delivers an unforgettable blend of tradition, flavors, and warm service in the heart of Germany’s medieval city.
