Without music, life would be a mistake, so they say. At the HanseKulturFestival, we transform the entire founding quarter into a stage. Live acts can be found in the middle of the streets, in churches and, of course, on various stages. Along the Untertrave, the sound of rock and pop fills the air, whereas classical ensembles are concentrated mainly near the theatre. Be enchanted by the unique sounds of street musicians and feel the various rhythms inspire your body to dance along on the market square. In short: mistakes aren’t possible!

At the MuK Bridge
Uh-oh, what’s happened here! What appears at first glance to be an accident, is actually intentional. The stage lorry didn’t get stranded here by accident, but is here on purpose to offer you the best musical entertainment à la Lübeck. From shanty choirs to cover bands, or from drum bands to local heroes, the whole range can be heard here. The theme for this stage is colourful and entertaining!

Markt
What's more Lübeck than the market? THE central meeting point in Lübeck's old town is an absolute must at the HanseKulturFestival. Against the picturesque backdrop of the historic town hall, you can enjoy a variety of sounds that will make you want to sing or dance along. Surrounded by the Fair.Bio.Regional market, the next drink is never far away, but arts and crafts, up-cycled fashion and hands-on activities also invite you to linger.

An entire neighbourhood resounds with hymns, strings, guitars and choirs. There are many small meeting places in the many ribbed streets along the Untertrave. For the HanseKulturFestival they will be wrapped in music. From windows, hidden in gardens or simply in the middle of the street: sounds from everywhere create a special kind of sound carpet that will enchant you.
