Tips
Anyone who travels to Lübeck will (not) pass by the Holsten Gate. This gate in the former city wall is a highlight on every tour to and through Lübeck.

The Holsten Gate is now THE landmark of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck. As the "middle" of four Holsten Gates - the others were demolished in the early and mid-19th century - it narrowly escaped the same fate. Instead, it was completely renovated and gradually gained the importance 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 Holsten Gate houses a museum on the history of the Hanseatic city.

It is the western city gate of the former city fortification. It is the only preserved city gate of Lübeck. A must during a visit to the Hanseatic city.
