Landträume Schloss Lauenburg

A Market in the Shadow of the Castle

Lauenburg Castle sits enthroned on a geest edge above the course of the Elbe — one of Northern Germany's most beautiful locations. Twice a year, the adjacent Amtsplatz transforms into a market: In June with the summer format Landträume, an event by Hamburg-based organizer Selekt Veranstaltungen. The concept combines high-quality arts and crafts with delicacies and a calm, sophisticated atmosphere — not a loud city festival, but a qualitative weekend for everyone who appreciates "the beautiful.".

What You'll Find at the Market

• Arts and Crafts — wooden objects, porcelain, ceramics, paper, leather goods, textiles
• Fashion and Accessories — seasonal collections from small manufacturers
• Jewelry — goldsmiths, silversmiths, designer jewelry
• Natural Cosmetics and wool products
• Art — painting, graphics, sculpture
• Delicacies — cheese, sausage, wine, spirits, chocolate
• Gastronomy with Elbe views
• Creative Treasure Hunt for children

The Location — Amtsplatz with Elbe Panorama

Amtsplatz 6 is located directly at Lauenburg Castle, high on the geest edge, with a panoramic view of the Elbe and the Lower Saxony marshland across the river. This makes the market more than just a sales event — those who shop here can sit down for a glass of wine or a cup of coffee on the slope and watch the ships go by. Chillout music provides the atmosphere.

Organizer

The organizer is Selekt Veranstaltungen from the Hamburg area, led by Wolfgang Krajewski. The "Landträume" brand is being expanded to several Northern German locations — Lauenburg is one of the traditional dates. Motto: The Joy of the Beautiful.
