St. Nikolaihof Bardowick
Highlight • Historical Site
The earliest written record as "House of the Poor Sick" was in a document from the year 1251. The court belonged to the city of Lüneburg, which housed her lepers outside the city walls here. After the leprosy was contained, the facility was converted into a nursing home. The accommodation was separated by gender. In the 15th century, about 80 people populated the court, half residents of women's and men's house, to the other service and administrative personnel (stewards, pastors, sextons, organists, shepherds, servants and maids). In the early 14th century a chapel and the (old) men's house were built, the provisional (house of the steward) in the 16th century. Around 1700 came another (the new) men's house and the so-called Organistenhaus (actually the pastorate, the actual Organistenhaus was demolished in 1802) added. In 1720/21 the women's shelter was renewed.
The women's shelter is still partially used today in its original function. The Nikolaihof is being redeveloped as part of the Bund-Länder program "Urban Heritage Protection", while the exterior work has already been largely completed.

Stintmarkt in the historic water district, Lüneburg
Highlight • Historical Site
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.

Old Trading House, Lüneburg
Highlight • Historical Site
Dat Heringshus - Old department store got its baroque facade in 1742, this is the only thing that was saved after the fire. At the top of the facade sits an onion dome, unusual for northern Germany, with a golden weathervane and an ewer (an approximately 18m long river boat with a shallow draft). Baltic herring and smelt, as well as meat, grain, hops, malt, wine, beer, cloth, wool, skins, wood, metal, glass and spices were sold in the department store.
