On the peninsula, where the Schwartau flows into the Trave, the Liubice settlement was around 1,000 years ago. It was lived and traded there for a couple of hundred years until it was destroyed in 1138. It was not rebuilt at this point, but six kilometers downstream. A castle was built on what was then the peninsula where the castle gate is today. Today's Lübeck emerged from it.
To get to the old settlement, you go through a high belt of reeds.
