Lübeck es mi ciudad hanseática favorita, y no solo por sus edificios de ladrillo de estilo gótico báltico (como su iglesia de Santa María) ni por su maravillosa Puerta de Holstein, ni tampoco por sus siete torres, sino por su agradable atmósfera en su centro medieval y también por su fabrica de mazapán Niederegger, que data del año 1806, donde desayune un café con leche más un bollo de nata junto a una barra de 200 gramos de mazapán, que es tan bueno como el de Toledo, en España. En su interior había reproducciones de mazapán de todos los edificios característicos de Alemania, como la Puerta de Holstein, la de Brandeburgo, o la catedral de Munich.
Comencé mis visitas por la Puerta de Holstein, pues es lo primero que uno se encuentra al salir de la estación de tren (llegaba desde Hamburgo) y cruzar el río. Esa atractiva puerta se ha convertido en el símbolo de la ciudad, por ello le pedí a un indígena que me hiciera una foto frente a ella. La otra puerta superviviente de las cuatro que poseía Lübeck se llama Burgtor, pero no era tan impactante como la de Holstein.
Otro de los atractivos de Lübeck son sus seis almacenes de sal, construidos en ladrillo, aunque no entré en ninguno de ellos (no se si se pueden visitar) pues me contenté con admirarlos por fuera. Rodeé el perímetro de la ciudad antigua sin perderme la visita a ningún edificio interesante, y luego me concentré en el centro, junto a la plaza del mercado y la del ayuntamiento. Era muy fácil orientarse en Lübeck pues había muchas miniaturas de los monumentos más famosos. Además, en la oficina de turismo te tratan muy bien y te facilitan mapas en español. | |

Lubeck altstadt/old city is UNESCO listed making it my city of choice in Schleswig Holstein. Took train up from Hamburg, 25 euro return. Capital and Queen of Hanseatic League 11th-17th Centuary, wealth and prestige slipped as shipping trade moved from Baltic to North Sea.
Coming from train station you will see excellent tourist office and Holstentor (city gate), go on to visit Dom, impressive Willy Brandt Haus, Gunter Grass Haus and Cafe Niederegger for best marizapan cakes and tea. | |

Schleswig Holstein is the northernmost state in Germany. For us it is mostly visited of the states of Germany. We are travelled at least 15 times via Denmark to Germany and always we have to go through of this state. Lubeck is most travelled city for us, because ferry from Finland is coming there. Also train via Puttgarden arrives to Lubeck station. Last time we were just driving through, because our destination was Schwerin, capital of Mecklenburg Vorpommern State. | |

February 2005 -- I took the train from Hamburg Hauptbahnhof to the Hanseatic City of Lübeck, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. I had lunch at Schiffergesellschaft, considered to be one of the oldest pubs in the world (http://www.schiffergesellschaft.com/). | |

As I lived in Germany for 35 years I visited most places in the country in that time including Schleswig Holstein. From late 1972 until spring 1973 I was sent up to Kiel for the winter period to work on repairing the boats at the British Kiel yacht club, which was affiliated to the British army. It was nice to get out of a garrison town for a while. Living in Kiel was almost like living as a civilian rather than a soldier. Shortly before I arrived Kiel had just been host to the sailing at the 1972 Olympics and the Olympic complex at Schilksee was just around the corner from us, indeed the BKYC was run by an ex German Olympic sailor named Bruno Splieth. Kiel was famous in the war as the place which built the most submarines and that shipyard was still going strong in 1973, just across the water from us. I revisited Kiel in 1996 when a friend of mine was working in that shipyard for a year and nothing much had changed. Kiel itself is one of Germanys largest ports and is also the place where the Kiel-Canal starts which connects the North sea to the Baltic sea. Schleswig Holstein once belonged to Denmark and still has a large ethic minority Danish population, especially in the north. | |
