Stintmarkt in the historic water district, Lüneburg

Highlight • Historical Site

The Stintmarkt is located in the historic water district of Lüneburg. As the name suggests, the fish species "smelt" used to be traded here, a small, herring-like fish that was very popular in the Middle Ages.

Similar to salmon, smelts swim into the rivers in late February to spawn in the sandy bottom. They were caught and traded at the smelt market.

Today, Lüneburg's most famous bar and restaurant mile is located on the Stintmarkt. The medieval houses, all of which are very well preserved, offer a fantastic and much-used photo backdrop.

Lüneburg Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

The pretty, old salt town of Lüneburg is always worth a visit. There are many highlights and many beautiful old houses to see there, especially in the old town, as well as on the Sande or in the Lüneburg water district from the Ilmenau (Stintmarkt, Alter Kran and much more).

View of the Old Crane (Alter Kran) in Lüneburg

Highlight • Monument

The old crane dates back to the 14th century, it was used to lift goods and also the Lüneburg salt works. In its prime, the crane even managed to lift a steam locomotive. Today the crane is a landmark of Lüneburg and adorns the water district. You can stop here and enjoy the view of the harbor.

The square is surrounded by gothic gabled houses. The name "Sande" derives from the then unpolished place.
