Guided Story
Feel the cool breeze as you step onto the bridge? It carries whispers of the past. Take a good look at the statues that line your path. These figures have watched over Lübeck since the 18th century, a time when the city was a bustling trade hub. Imagine merchants and travelers crossing here, laden with goods and tales from distant lands. To your right, you can catch a glimpse of the majestic Holstentor. This bridge was the first stone-built crossing over the city moat, a significant milestone in Lübeck’s history. The Puppenbrücke isn't just a crossing; it's a portal into the city's rich past.
