The source of every Lüneburg wealth can be found here: the salt. Until 1980, the salt was still commercially mined here, today the old production facilities house the German Salt Museum.

The German Salt Museum in Lüneburg vividly shows the history of salt mining in Lüneburg. From Beginning to Modern Times (1980). The city, with its old core, would not have come into being without the saltworks. The saline was so precious that it had its own wall when it was in its heyday.

The museum is open daily (including Mondays) from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Admission for adults costs 7 €, a combination ticket with the water tower also 7 €!

German Salt Museum.

Here you can learn a great deal about the source of Lüneburg's wealth in the Middle Ages and during the heyday of the Hanseatic League. Later, with the decline of the Hanseatic League and the competition from sea salt, Lüneburg became impoverished. The saltworks operated until 1980 and were shut down due to unprofitability. Damage in the subsidence area and a shift in thinking regarding the preservation of old buildings also contributed to its demise. However, salt is still produced in small quantities. I personally find the small models of old Lüneburg fascinating.
