Dedicated to the industrial heritage of Lübeck in the 20th century, that shaped the city. Especially the Hochofenwerke Lübeck AG (a metallurgical company) and the Flender Werft, a shipyard. Both companies were shut down as a result of the industrial crisis of the 1970s and 1980s with the last ship leaving the Flender Werft in 2002.

Border Museum
As Lübeck's eastern border was co-extensive with the border between West (FRG) and East Germany (GDR) during the Cold War there was a border crossing here. A group of volunteers maintains the remaining border installations and runs this museum.
Dating to the late 19th century, this open air pool makes use of natural river-water and is among the more extraordinary in Germany.
Europäisches Hansemuseum
Opened in 2015, this is perhaps the "crown jewel" among Lübeck's historical museums as it gives an in-depth look into Lübeck's over 800 years of history and how Lübeck shaped the Hanseatic League and how the Hanse in turn shaped Lübeck. The light in the main exhibition is generally dark, it feels new for the design, such as using a card for some displays to show information on screen. It uses German and English, sometimes Swedish and Russian, in the description. A good place to learn the details of history of Hanseatic League. All visitors must receive a blue card for statistics and choosing language to show on the information screen.
