The construction of the Lübeck town hall began in 1230, shortly after the granting of imperial freedom, and over the years it has been repeatedly changed and expanded. This explains the different architectural styles and parts. It was completed in 1308. It still fulfills its role today as the seat of administration, meeting place for the citizens and their committees as well as the Senate.

St. Jakobi Church, Lübeck

Highlight • Religious Site

The St. Jakobi Church is mentioned for the first time in 1227 in the Upper Town Book and has been the church of the boatmen, seamen and boat builders who lived mainly in this quarter of the city in the Middle Ages. This church, however, was a previous building that was destroyed in a city fire in 1276. Shortly afterwards, the construction of today's church began. The construction of the three-aisled step hall church was completed in 1334 with the completion of the high altar. The chapels and sacristy were added until the beginning of the 15th century. The ridge turret was given its current shape in 1622/23, and in the middle of the 17th century the old spire was torn down due to dilapidation and replaced by the baroque spire, which is flanked by four spheres and has shaped the skyline of Lübeck ever since.

Chancellery Building Arcade, Lübeck

Highlight • Historical Site

North of the Lübeck Town Hall is the so-called Chancellery building, then called Schriverie. It was built in 1485 in the Gothic style. The construction phase lasted five years. In the years 1588 and 1614, the building was extended as far as Mengstraße. It was the seat of the notaries and council clerks. They kept the Niederstadtbuch from 1277 to 1863, which today represents an important historical source.
Inside the Chancellery building is the "Renaissance Hall" from 1612/1615, the former "Kommissionsstube" (courtroom) with rich paneling by Tönnies Evers the Younger.
In the arcades of the ground floor, which were open until 1818, there were stalls where furriers and shoemakers had their shops and workshops. At the beginning of the 19th century, the Chancellery building housed, among other things, the passport and stamp office, the registry with the state archive, and the office of the beer inspection.
Later, the building served as a police station.
