Not to forget Lübeck's world-famous sweet, the marzipan.
As Lübeck used to be quite rich and wealthy during the flourising period of the Hanse, there are plenty of great buildings in the area of the historic city center.
The walkways and courtyards that were constructed during that period as well because people ran out of space also add to the atmosphere of the city.
Like the colours of all Hanseatic cities, the colours of Lübeck are red and white; the coat of arms shows a black double eagle with a red and white cuiras. Lübeck's coat of arms dates back to the year 1450 and therefore is the oldest coat of arms in Schleswig Holstein. |
