About Lübeck

Lübeck is the queen of the Hanseatic League — the city that founded and led the most powerful trading confederation in medieval northern Europe, whose distinctive silhouette of seven church spires above the Trave River island is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, and which produced Thomas Mann (Buddenbrooks, The Magic Mountain) and Willy Brandt among its most celebrated sons. The Holstentor — the great twin-towered brick gate of 1478 standing at the entrance to the old town — is one of the most recognisable architectural symbols of the entire Baltic region and is depicted on the former 500-Deutsche Mark note.

Lübeck's extraordinary collection of Brick Gothic churches — the Marienkirche (model for many Baltic churches), the Dom, the Petrikirche, the Jakobikirche, the Katharinenkirche — concentrated on the island old town represents the finest surviving ensemble of North German Brick Gothic architecture in existence. The Buddenbrookhaus — the family home of Thomas Mann's Nobel Prize-winning novel, now a literary museum — and the Günter Grass-Haus (the sculptor and Nobel Prize-winning author lived and worked in Lübeck) give the city two Nobel Prize-related literary museums within walking distance of each other. Lübeck's marzipan — made since the 15th century and considered the finest in the world — is one of Germany's most celebrated local food products.

Important Transfer Information

Holstentor and UNESCO Old Town: The Lübeck Holstentor (1478) and the old town island are UNESCO World Heritage inscribed as an outstanding example of the architectural and urban character of a major Hanseatic city. The old town's seven church spires, visible from across the flat north German plain for miles around, have defined the city's identity for centuries. The Holstentor museum gives an excellent introduction to the Hanseatic heritage.

Thomas Mann Heritage: Lübeck is inseparable from Thomas Mann — his great novel Buddenbrooks (1901), set in the merchant families of the city, is one of the masterpieces of German literature and earned him the Nobel Prize in 1929. The Buddenbrookhaus (Mann family home on the Mengstrasse) houses an extensive museum on Mann's life, work and literary legacy. Mann's birthplace and the Günter Grass museum are nearby.

Lübeck Marzipan: Niederegger marzipan, produced in Lübeck since 1806, is considered the world's finest — made from 100% almonds (unlike cheaper versions with substitute ingredients) and produced in hundreds of shapes and flavours. The Niederegger café on the Breite Strasse, directly opposite the Rathaus, is the essential marzipan experience. Marzipan from Lübeck is one of Germany's most prized edible souvenirs.
