Auf dem Meere, Lüneburg Old Town

From the back Rathaus, the St. Michaelis Im Blick, it is the connection to the Johann Sebastian Bach Square. Here, too, a piece of jewelery joins the other. If you take your time, you can see wonderful details.

The road "On the Sea" is located in a hollow between Marienplatz and St. Michael's Church. During excavations, the first building was found at a depth of 8 m, above that a 4 m thick layer of peat. In 1229, this area was described as a marshy terrain with a duck pond. Today's Marienplatz stood out like a mountain.

The Ohlingertrasse runs across the craft district. It is divided into Upper and Lower Ohlingerstrasse. The division takes place at the corner "Auf der Altstadt". This section lies between "Auf dem Meere" and "Auf der Aldstadt". A prime example of what residents have done to save this neighborhood from the wrecking ball. We are also in the middle of the subsidence area. The city is now contributing to conservation, but it wasn't always that way.
For cyclists: This whole district has head-pavement and only narrow footpaths. The one-way regulation can sometimes lead to driving in the opposite direction. Be careful. It is quite possible to cruise in this area.
