In the heart of Lübeck's Old Town, nestled among the cobblestone streets and medieval architecture, lies Weberstraße—a charming, historic street that transports visitors to another era.

First mentioned in 1302 as Platea Textorum, the street's name was later changed to Weberstraße in the 14th century, reflecting the weavers and other textile artisans who once resided there. Over the centuries, Weberstraße has continued to serve as a hub for craftsman houses, with structures ranging from the 13th to the 18th century still standing today.

Weberstraße is a continuous historical built-up area, featuring modest artisan houses from several centuries. Some of these houses are centuries old, such as Haus Weberstraße 9, a half-timbered beauty from the 17th century, and Haus Weberstraße 6, which dates back to 1494.

The street is located in the southeastern part of the Lübeck old town island (Johannis Quarter) and is conveniently situated near St.-Aegidien-Kirche and opposite the entrance of Schildstraße. It starts at St.-Annen-Straße and ends blindly at the shore of the Krähenteich. Weberstraße also crosses Straße An der Mauer.

During World War II, Weberstraße was spared from destruction, preserving the unique charm and character of the street for future generations to enjoy. Today, the historic houses on Weberstraße are used as residential homes, offices, and cultural venues, offering a glimpse into Lübeck's rich history and tradition.

Whether you're a history buff or simply looking for a unique and picturesque place to explore, Weberstraße is a must-visit destination in Lübeck. Take a stroll down this enchanting street and step back in time to a bygone era.
