Lübeck as a business location
Professional translation Lübeck: law, technology & medicine.
A Hanseatic city and Germany's largest Baltic port, with a strong cluster of medical technology, the food industry and logistics – and very different translation needs as a result. We assign the right specialist to every job. Certificates and records go to sworn translators, technical texts to native-speaker professional translators.
Port, logistics & Baltic trade
For the Port of Lübeck, Germany's largest Baltic port: customs and export papers, freight documents and contracts – including German ⇄ Scandinavian languages.
Food industry & consumer goods
Around Niederegger and Hawesta: packaging, regulatory and marketing copy for international markets.
Industry & raw materials
For firms such as L. Possehl & Co. and the Bockholdt group: technical standards, commercial and conformity documents – terminology-checked.
Science & certificate recognition
Around the University of Lübeck and TH Lübeck (University of Applied Sciences): dissertations, journal articles and certified diplomas, transcripts and certificates.
Law & certification
For authorities, courts and law firms: certified certificates, contracts and records produced by sworn translators.
Languages
Translators in Lübeck for 70+ languages – in the right variant.
We translate in both directions; every job goes to a native-speaker specialist who gets the regional variant right – for public authorities, a sworn translator produces the certified version. The strongest demand in Lübeck is for English, Turkish, Russian, Polish, Danish and Spanish.
Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Which authority in Lübeck is responsible for what?
Lübeck falls within the district of the Regional Court (Landgericht) of Lübeck in Schleswig-Holstein. Who is responsible for certification and apostille depends on the type of document. FÜD provides the recognition-ready translation – the apostille is always issued by the competent authority, not by FÜD.
| Matter | Responsible authority for Lübeck | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Lübeck Court-authorised (sworn) translator (accepted nationwide) | We produce the certified translation with a certification note – accepted throughout Germany. |
| Apostille for civil-status & administrative documents | Ministry of the Interior, Local Affairs, Housing and Sport (Ministry of the Interior of Schleswig-Holstein); pre-certification via the notarial and registry-office supervision of the independent Hanseatic City of Lübeck Düsternbrooker Weg 92, 24105 Kiel | We tell you whether an apostille is required and translate the apostille note along with it. FÜD does not issue apostilles. |
| Apostille for court & notarial documents | President of the Regional Court (Landgericht) of Lübeck Schwartauer Landstraße 9–11, 23554 Lübeck | Applies e.g. to commercial-register extracts, notarial deeds and court decisions. Translation includes the note. |
| Civil-status certificates (birth, marriage, death) | Registry office (Standesamt) Lübeck Ratzeburger Allee 16, 23564 Lübeck | We translate the certificate as a certified translation; the international (multilingual) certificate is available directly from the registry office. |
| Recognition of foreign school certificates | Certificate-recognition office Schleswig-Holstein (Ministry of Education) | Certified translation for the recognition procedure; equivalence is decided by that office. |
| Recognition of foreign professional qualifications | Competent chamber / recognition office (e.g. IHK, HWK, ZAB) | We provide the formally correct translation of your diploma, transcript and professional certificate. |
| Police clearance certificate for use abroad | Federal Office of Justice (BfJ), Bonn Adenauerallee 99–103, 53113 Bonn | Certified translation of the police clearance certificate, incl. any apostille note. |
| Residence, naturalisation, vehicle, immigration office | Hanseatic City of Lübeck (citizen service / immigration office) Königstraße 49–57, 23552 Lübeck | Certified translation of the required documents – confirm the language direction and purpose in advance. |
Order of the apostille
If the receiving body requires an apostille, it belongs before the translation: it is affixed to the original document first, and we then translate the document including the apostille note.
Not sure whether and where you need an apostille? We review your case and name the responsible authority – issuing it stays with the authority, not with FÜD.

Lübeck & the Baltic
Lübeck and our translators.
As an independent city on the Baltic, Lübeck is – after Kiel – the most populous city in Schleswig-Holstein: the "gateway to the north", with Germany's largest Baltic port. Its medical technology, food industry and logistics generate high demand for technical, regulatory and certified translations.
Beyond Lübeck we serve the whole of the north: clients from Kiel, Neumünster, Norderstedt and the neighbouring metropolis of Hamburg use the same digital route; Wismar and Lüneburg are likewise reachable through the same order process.
