The city of Lübeck (German: Hansestadt Lübeck) is situated strategically on the mouth of the River Trave which flows into the bay in the southern Baltic Sea. In the early years as the city grew, it quickly became a powerful maritime trading center and has remained a center for maritime commerce to this day. The large entrance gate to the city is called: The Holsten Gate (Das Holstentor) and marks off the western boundary of the old center of the Hanseatic* city of Lübeck. Built in the 15th century the Red Brick Gothic Gate is a reminder of medieval city fortifications. Together with the Citadel Gate, they are the last two remaining gates. Regarded as a symbol of the city with its impressive two-round towers and arched entrance, together with the old city center they have been included on the list of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
A majestic and lively port city, with stately historical buildings, monuments, vibrant atmosphere.
