Industriemuseum Geschichtswerkstatt Herrenwyk covers the 20th-century industrial side of Lübeck, far from the Hanseatic brick Gothic of the old town. Its exhibits focus on the former blast furnace works and Flender shipyard, two employers that shaped the district before closing after the industrial crises of the late 20th century.
It is best for visitors interested in working history, ships, and the city beyond the UNESCO core. The museum sits northeast of central Lübeck, so check opening times before making the trip.
