Holstentor

The Holstentor is today the landmark of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck.
As a "middle-class" of the formerly four Holstentoren - the others were demolished at the beginning or middle of the 19th century - it narrowly escaped the same fate. Instead, it was completely redeveloped and gradually acquired the meaning it is given today.
In addition to the Middle Holsten Gate, the inner castle gate is still preserved from the gates of the former city fortifications in the north of the old town island.
The Holstentor houses a museum on the history of the Hanseatic city.

The Lübeck Holstentor is probably the most famous city gate in Germany and the landmark of Lübeck. It was built between 1464 and 1478 by the Lübeck master builder Hinrich Helmstede during a modernization of the fortifications on the Trave side.

The Lübecker warzeichen should actually be known to everyone, it was for a long time to see one of our banknotes and is also also present as a company emblem of a large marzipan manufactory.

A place that you should definitely visit in Lübeck. Great architecture and there is always a lot of people out and about. I wasn't in because I was on a bike. But I would like to visit the place again.

Late Gothic city gate, which limits the old town of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck to the west. It is the landmark of the city. Since 1950, the City History Museum of Lübeck has been located in the rooms of the Holstentor. Meeting point. And pretty crooked (:

It is since 1987 with the Hanseatic city of Lübeck UNESCO World Heritage Site and is even on a 2 Euro piece.

When visiting the Hanseatic city of Lübeck it is a must to visit the Holstentor. The city gate, which limits the old town of Lübeck to the west, is a late gothic building and belongs to the remains of the Lübeck fortifications. In addition to the castle gate, it is the only preserved city gate of Lübeck.
Due to its high profile, it is today considered the landmark of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck. In addition to the Brandenburg Gate, the Cologne Cathedral or the Munich Liebfrauenkirche there is probably no other important German building, which is so popular worldwide.

Lübeck is always worth a visit. Great city, great atmosphere, and super surrounded by water.

A visit to the well-preserved city gate is a highlight of every Lübeck tour. Highly recommended.
