European Hansemuseum
Europäisches Hansemuseum
The largest museum of Hanseatic League history in the world, using immersive re-creations to bring medieval Northern European trade routes to life.
Opened in 2015 and connected to the medieval Burgkloster (Monastery), the museum uses life-size re-creations of trading posts in Novgorod, Bruges, London, Bergen and other cities to tell the six-century story of the Hanseatic League. On entry, you can choose the identity of a historical figure and follow that person's fate through the exhibits. The monastery section preserves Gothic cloisters and archaeological remains. The museum is open about 10:00–18:00, admission is about €15, and you should allow around 2 hours. It sits at the northern end of the old town, about a 15-minute walk from the Salzspeicher (salt storehouse) district.
