In addition to the market square, the oval square "Am Sande" is the second central hub in Lüneburg. It is traffic-calmed, but not car-free. There is a lot of activity here every week due to regular buses, restaurants and regular customers in the shops.

But there is also an opportunity to enjoy and observe, both above and below. In the west is the remarkable building of the Chamber of Commerce and in the east, one of our large churches, St.Johannes. The water tower, the council mill and the Lüneburg museum are very close to this church.

The place was originally, a long time ago, unpaved and very sandy. Therefore the name.

"The square was first mentioned in 1229 as" in harena ". The square was originally not fortified, hence the name Am Sande. The square was created as a connection between the Modestorpe settlement, the Kalkberg settlement and the salt works. The trade route also ran here Magdeburg and Braunschweig as well as to Hamburg and Lübeck. The stacking right, which Lüneburg got in 1392, required space for the traders inside the walls. This offered itself and through the trade routes the place became a goods handling center. The salt trade took place in the house at Am Sande 45, it was a white load, and it is also proven that Am Sande was traded from 1421 beer and from 1570 grain Lumber recorded in documents. "

The fish market, the historic crane, the historic houses on the Stintmarkt and the Lüner Mühle with the weir: Yes, this is where Lüneburg's heart beats, especially on a sunny day like today. There are just too many beautiful motifs. You have to confine yourself. I only stay in this area today, although I know that there are many other beautiful places. Another time!

This shows the pride of the Lüneburgers. Dark gray brick combined into an artistic ensemble.
Today's Chamber of Industry and Commerce is located opposite the St. Johannis Church, on the west side of the Am Sande square. The Renaissance building from 1548 with its decorative double gable and dark gray bricks has fulfilled a wide range of functions in its 400-year existence. He served Lüneburg as a brewery, restaurant, retail business and state bank before taking over his current role as Chamber of Commerce and Industry after the Second World War.
