Lüneburg sits atop a salt dome, crisscrossed by deep ravines and waterways. Centuries of extensive salt mining have undoubtedly contributed to accelerating the subsidence. St. Lambert's Church was among the victims. The saltworks closed in 1980, prompting a shift in thinking within the city. Plans for and implementation of rescue measures were initiated. For example, the "Am Rathaus" parking garage is designed like a self-righting toy; it can slowly right itself.
