Lübeck’s imposing brick buildings,
city walls, gabled warehouses and the twin-towered Holsten Gate
testify to the prosperity the city enjoyed in the late Middle Ages
as the seat of the powerful Hanseatic League. The efforts of the
residents to maintain, restore and renovate these wonderful
buildings have been rewarded by UNESCO, who included the Old Town
of Lubeck in the list of the Cultural and Natural Heritage of the
World. Here in the Old Town the cultural heritage is not preserved
in a museum, but is evident everywhere in the bustling life of the
city. The main highlights, contained in the Old Town, are within close
distance of each other. The imposing Town Hall stands next to the
Marienkirche, Germany's third-largest church with the highest
brick vault in the world. The church was almost totally burned out
in a bomb attack on March 29, 1942. The bells crashed down; their
remains embedded in the stone floor and have been kept there as a
memorial. In between the main streets and squares is a maze of
interconnecting courts and passageways, which are wonderful to
explore.A Lubeck institution is the Café Niederegger. Here you can find
the sweet specialty of Lubeck marzipan in a countless variety of
forms.One of the city's great sons was Thomas Mann, whose novel The
Buddenbrooks is set in Lubeck. His brother Heinrich also was an
esteemed writer. In 1975 Lubeck established the Thomas Mann prize,
a prize of DM 15,000 (or $10,000) which is awarded every three
years to persons who, by their literary works or activities, have
distinguished themselves in the humanitarian Encore which marked
the works of Thomas Mann. From Lubeck excursions can easily be made into the surrounding
area, the fashionable resort of Travemunde and to the City of
Hamburg, a 45-minute train ride away.
