ADLER VON LÜBECK(German for Eagle of Lübeck), also called Der Große Adler or Lübscher Adler, was a 16th-century warship of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck, Germany. ADLER VON LÜBECK was one of the largest ships in the world at her time, being 78.30 m long overall and displacing 2–3,000 tons.
The war galleon was built by Lübeck during the Northern Seven Years' War to escort her convoy of merchant ships in the Baltic and North Sea. However, ADLER VON LÜBECK was never put into action, since Lübeck had already entered peace negotiations with Sweden at the time of the ship's completion. After the Treaty of Stettin (1570), Großer Adler was converted into a freighter for trade with the Iberian Peninsula.
The ship was dismantled in 1588 after twenty years of service.
