Lübecker Kreuzweg, Religious monument in Lübeck, Germany.

The Lübecker Kreuzweg consists of fourteen stations representing the Passion of Christ, extending over 1,650 meters from St. Jakobi Church to Jerusalemsberg hill.

The Kreuzweg originated in 1493 after merchant Hinrich Constin visited Jerusalem's Via Dolorosa in 1468 and decided to recreate the path in Lübeck.

Thousands of pilgrims gather each Good Friday for readings and songs along the path, commemorating both religious traditions and the Lübeck Martyrs.

The path starts at a limestone relief on St. Jakobi Church's north side, depicting Christ before Pilate, and ends at a Gothic house with crucifixion scenes.

Only the first and last stations of the original seven medieval stations remain, while five new stations were added through a sculpture symposium in 2013.
