Heilig-Geist-Hospital, Medieval hospital building in Lübeck, Germany
The Heilig-Geist-Hospital is a brick building in Lübeck with three gables and four slender towers showing northern German Brick Gothic style. The structure houses a large church hall and is used today partly as a retirement home and event venue.
The building was founded in 1227 and completed in 1286, initially serving as a hospital and shelter for travelers. It was transformed during the Reformation and later functioned as a retirement home.
The church hall displays wall paintings from the early 14th century that show religious and social scenes of medieval Lübeck. These images offer today's visitors a window into the daily life and beliefs of people from that era.
The site is part of Lübeck's Old City and easily reached on foot, with plenty of space to explore the exterior. Visitors should note that the place still has residential functions and private areas need to be respected.
In medieval times, the building operated its own brewery that produced beer as a key food source for residents. This brewery was an essential part of daily life and provisions within the institution.
