St. Jakobi, Lübeck
St. Jakobi
Lübeck's sailors' church, housing the lifeboat of the training sailing ship Pamir, which sank in 1957.
St. Jakobi, Lübeck is a 14th-century Gothic hall church, the church of sailors and fishermen. It is also a stop on Germany's Way of St. James pilgrimage route. A side chapel displays the lifeboat of the four-masted barque Pamir, in memory of the 80 crew members who lost their lives. The church also has two historic organs. Entry is free. It lies at the northern end of Breite Straße, next to the Seamen's Association restaurant across the street and the Heiligen-Geist-Hospital, so the three can be visited together.
