描述
Visit UNESCO-listed highlights of Lübeck and admire its distinctive, brick Gothic architecture. See famous sights such the Holsten Gate, the Lübeck Cathedral, the St. Mary's Church and the Town Hall.
Start your tour at the Holsten Gate, a city gate marking off the western boundary of the old center of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck. Built in 1464, the Brick Gothic construction is one of the relics of Lübeck's medieval city fortifications and one of two remaining city gates, the other being the Citadel Gate (Burgtor). Known for its two-round towers and arched entrance, it is regarded today as a symbol of the city. Together with the old city center (Altstadt) of Lübeck it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.
We will then move on to the Lübeck Cathedral, a large brick-built Lutheran cathedral in Lübeck. It is a part of the Lübeck World Heritage Site. It was started in 1173 by Henry the Lion as a cathedral for the Bishop of Lübeck. It was partly destroyed in a bombing raid in World War II (1942), when the Arp Schnitger organ was destroyed by fire, but was subsequently reconstructed. It is also famous for works of Bernt Notke and Thomas Quellinus, who survived the bombing raid in 1942. The famous altar by Hans Memling is now in Lübeck's St. Annen Museum. The construction of the current church was completed in 1982. In 1873 the Cathedral celebrated its 700th anniversary, when an offshoot of the Lutheran Memorial Beech Tree, in Steinbach near Bad Liebenstein in Thuringia, was planted in the churchyard.
Built around 1240, the Town Hall of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck will be your next stop. It is one of the most famous buildings made in brick Gothic architectural style and is one of the most beautiful town halls in Germany. It is also one of the largest medieval town halls in Germany.
Next, You will see the St. Mary's Church which was built between 1250 and 1350. It has always been a symbol of the power and prosperity of the old Hanseatic city and is situated at the highest point of the island that forms the old town of Lübeck. It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the old Hanseatic City of Lübeck.
Walk by the St. Anne's Museum, previously an Augustinian nunnery, St. Anne's Priory.
