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. | |
