"The passages and courtyards in the old town bear witness to medieval town planning in Lübeck, and even today they are inhabited and turned into silent oases in the middle of the old town.

The magical world of dollhouses: these secluded quarters in the middle of the old town owes Lübeck the care and care of its citizens; Much has been preserved here, which had to make way for something new in other cities.
A touch of mystery and adventure surrounds the passageways and courtyards: the visitor must leave familiar paths, often head in at the entrance and exit, and it takes a few moments for the eyes to become accustomed to the dim light in the quiet oases to have. Many courses lead into another corridor or dismiss the visitor surprisingly in a familiar street.

Anyone who delves into the peace and seclusion of this world finds itself back in the Middle Ages: the densely built-up streets were created when successful trade made the "Queen of the Hanseatic League" grow rapidly. The old town hill, however, did not grow and it quickly became tight within the walls. Therefore, one made passages through the front houses and built the backyards with the so-called "stalls".

The corridors and courtyards in Lübeck (particularly close to the Engelswisch, Engelsgrube and Glockengießerstrasse streets in the north and around the Lübeck Cathedral in the south, but also elsewhere in the inner city area, with the exception of the war-torn areas) are remnants of medieval urban development . The courtyards are often based on foundations from wealthy Lübeck citizens. Behind the street houses on the gable side, the so-called “booths” were built, mostly two-story buildings with a floor plan with little more than one room. The booths in the corridors were often the living quarters of the employees of the trade that was carried out in the street house.

The corridors and courtyards can almost always be reached through a passage in the street house. According to a legend loved by Lübeck's tourist guides, only the basic requirement that a coffin could be carried through had to be fulfilled. [1] Corridors are just narrow passages that nowadays only occasionally reach the other side of the street, courtyards, on the other hand, usually widen around a central square, which nowadays contains a tree, a play area or occasionally an arbor.

Most of the corridors and courtyards in Lübeck are freely accessible, some are locked with a gate or door at night.
