If it weren't designated as a heritage site, you wouldn't recognize it here at all. But it's good that things from the past are remembered here. Liubice (also: Leubice) or Alt-Lübeck was a Slavic predecessor settlement of today's Lübeck that existed from around 819 to 1138 at the confluence of the Schwartau and Trave rivers. Liubice was about six kilometers down the Trave from the old town island of today's Lübeck, opposite today's Teerhofinsel, on a peninsula formed by a bend (today: old arm) of the Trave and the confluence of the Schwartau. The settlement site is entered as an archaeological monument in the monument list of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liubice

The nature reserve extends along the Wakenitz between Lake Ratzeburg and the Lübeck district of Eichholz. It protects the Wakenitz with its lowlands and some adjacent areas. Large parts of the nature reserve lie in the Green Belt along the former inner-German border. The Wakenitz with open water areas, floating leaf and reed siltation zones, side bays and side arms is accompanied over long stretches by alder forest with black alder as the dominant tree species and ash and, especially in the south of the protected area, by wet meadows. In some cases there are forests with deciduous forest communities. For example, marsh iris, marsh calla, bittersweet nightshade and water primrose live in the herbaceous layer of the swamp forests. The wet meadows are home to, among others: Marsh marigold, cuckoo carnation and meadowfoam,[5] but also broad-leaved orchid and meadowsweet. In the north of the nature reserve, the “Krögerland”, a moist side valley of the Wakenitz, is included in the nature reserve. It is predominantly characterized by wet grassland with sour grasses, rushes, marsh marigolds and orchids such as broad-leaved orchid.[6] The wet grassland borders on the quarry forest that accompanies the Wakenitz and is otherwise completely surrounded by the Lübeck settlement area and an allotment garden area. The Wakenitz is dammed in Lübeck. It forms the “Small Lake” in the south of the city, which is almost completely surrounded by alder forest. The quarry forest is adjoined by a reed belt of reeds and cattails as well as fields of sea lilies and pond lilies. There is a natural swimming pool on the eastern bank of the small lake.
