Lübeck Cathedral is an important example of early brick construction in northern Germany. The foundation stone was laid by Henry the Lion in 1173.
The Romanesque cathedral, which was consecrated in 1247 and had the porch (paradise) on the north transept added around 1254/59, was expanded by a Gothic ambulatory choir between
1266 and 1341, and then converted into a hall church.
It was partially burned down in 1942 - reconstruction began in 1947.
