| Near the sea, Lübeck, Germany |
|  | UNESCO City During my trip to the north of Germany in March 1996 when we stayed in Timmendorfer Strand at the seaside I had a chance of visiting Lübeck on weekend. We just could not miss the chance and went there by our bus that we took in Ukraine.
UNESCO recognized Luebeck as a city with a great historical heritage. Indeed the city is full of medieval buildings and edifices.
Holstentor is one of the old city gates became one of the symbols of Luebeck.
|
A Long History The city has a long history. You feel the history at every step you make.
The city was formerly the head of the Hanseatic League.

Have a Pleasant Walk Downtown! We walked about downtown Luebeck where I could see the medieval Gothic churches:
Marienkirche dating from the 13th century;
the City Hall( Rathaus) that is famous for its exquisite staircase, woodcarving and vaulted wine cellar.
It was pleasant to walk along the river embankment. We also dropped in at Schiffergesellschaft - the oldest restaurant in Germany dating from 1538 where we drank beer at ancient tables like in a museum.
