Schiffergesellschaft

Schiffergesellschaft brings Lübeck's seafaring past into a restaurant on Breite Straße. Its former guildhall was a meeting place for captains and merchants, and the historic hall still gives the meal its distinctive setting. Long communal benches and suspended ship models make the maritime connection tangible. Alongside the main hall are smaller rooms, including the Hanse-Lübeck-Zimmer, Kapitäns-Zimmer and Kapitäns-Salon, offering different settings within the same historic house.

The kitchen combines northern German classics with international dishes and contemporary creations. Seasonal ingredients and local purchasing are central to its approach, so the cooking looks beyond the building's history while retaining a regional foundation. Wines and spirits form part of the drinks selection. The restaurant welcomes business diners, couples, local families and larger parties, continuing the building's longstanding role as a place to gather.

Outdoors, the planted courtyard garden provides another place to sit. Known as the Sonnendeck, it offers a quieter setting away from the large hall. Company celebrations, family occasions and business meals are also part of the restaurant's offer, with reservations available by telephone or email.

The society behind the house began as the Saint Nicholas Brotherhood in 1401. It acquired and expanded the premises during the sixteenth century, and the hall emerged from those building works. After compulsory guild membership ended in 1866, parts of the house were opened to the public as a restaurant. That transition explains the unusual combination visitors encounter today: a working dining room inside a building whose identity remains closely bound to Lübeck's sailors.
