Germany - Lubeck: Breite Strasse.

Haus der Schiffergesellschaft -

House of the Seamen's Guildhall

 

Convention house of the seamen and skippers. Only building of its kind still existing in Lubeck, today historic restaurant, constructed in 1535, entrance newly designed by Dietrich Jurgen Boy in 1768. In 1880 new facing of the gable front with industrially produced bricks. Portrait of sailing vessel, tablet with aphorisms and vane with sailing vessel from the 17th century, bench-ends from 1745.

 

From plaque on the front of the building- the folk of Lubeck are very generous, in that each of such description plaques is given in English as well as German!
