Lübeck

Lübeck is a city located in the north of Germany, in the state of Schleswig-Holstein. It is situated on the Trave River and is the second largest city in the state. With a population of around 215,000 people, it is one of the most important cities in the region and an important port city.

Lübeck was founded in 1143 and was an important trading city in the Hanseatic League, a medieval alliance of trading cities. It was one of the most prosperous cities in the League and became known as the "Queen of the Hanseatic League". During the Middle Ages, it was one of the most important cities in Northern Europe, and its wealth and power attracted many merchants and craftsmen.

The city was a major centre of the Protestant Reformation and became a free imperial city in 1669. It was also an important centre of the German Enlightenment and was home to many scholars and writers.

In the 19th century, Lübeck was an important port city and a major centre of the German shipbuilding industry. It was also an important hub of the German railway network and was home to several important industries, including sugar refining, brewing, and textiles.

The city was heavily damaged during World War II and much of its historic centre was destroyed. However, it has since been rebuilt and is now a popular tourist destination. Its old town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is home to many important buildings, including the Holstentor, a medieval gate, and the Marienkirche, a Gothic church.

Today, Lübeck is a vibrant city with a rich cultural heritage. It is known for its traditional marzipan, its many museums, and its annual festivals, such as the Lübeck Christmas Market. It is also home to several universities and is an important centre of research and development.
