Lübeck, Hanseatic port city in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany
The center of Lübeck sits on an island formed by the Trave River, featuring red brick Gothic buildings and seven church towers above 100 meters.
Founded in 1143, Lübeck gained status as a Free Imperial City in 1226 and became the leading city of the medieval Hanseatic League trading network.
The historic center preserves medieval architectural elements, including the Holstentor gate, five main churches, and numerous merchant houses from the 15th century.
The Skandinavienkai terminal in Travemünde district operates regular ferry connections to Sweden, Finland, Latvia, and other Baltic Sea destinations.
The Heiligen-Geist-Hospital, dating from 1286, represents one of the oldest existing social institutions in the world, built to care for the elderly.
