Am Sande Square and St. John's Church, Lüneburg

Medieval square in the historic city center

It used to be the most important goods transshipment point, but today it is often used as a venue for annual Lüneburg festivals.

The main square on the sand. As one of the oldest squares in the city and one of the most important medieval squares in Germany, the Platz am Sande was the center of goods trade.

Visitors strolling through the old town are particularly impressed by the
The magnificent town houses that can be seen here are impressive. They probably come from different eras and all have different types of gables - worth seeing.

On the edge of Lüneburg's main square on Sande are the St. Johannis Church and the magnificent building of today's Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

We can recommend Mälzer Brauhaus because of the delicious food and beers 👍

The "Am Sande" square is the heart of Lüneburg, so to speak. There are bus stops, some shops, cafes, snack bars, pharmacies, drugstores, banks, etc. Also several pedestrian zones begin (or end) on the sand, including Lüneburg's most famous pedestrian zone, the Große Bäckerstraße (which leads from Sande to Lüneburg market square) .

Very nice old town. Invites you to linger. Interesting buildings, idyllic and nice gastronomy.
