A look at Lübeck's UNESCO World Heritage Site

Lübeck's old town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is a true jewel of northern German architecture. The city has retained its historical charm despite the destruction during World War II. It is surrounded by water, dams and parks and impresses with its silhouette, which is characterized by seven high church towers. The mix of patrician houses from the 15th and 16th centuries, impressive churches and public monuments such as the iconic Holstentor give the city a unique character. These structural masterpieces are not only architectural highlights, but also an important part of the cultural heritage of the Hanseatic League, which resonates with Lübeck's historical significance.

Particularly noteworthy is the Löwen-Apotheke, the oldest pharmacy in the city, which was founded in 1812 and resides in one of the oldest town houses in Lübeck. Remedies are still mixed here today using centuries-old recipes, a tradition that can be traced back to Roman times. In addition, the excavator driver Jürgen Köpsel found an impressive coin collection from the 16th century during excavations in 1984. This includes around 24,000 gold and silver coins that document Lübeck's trading relationships in 1530 and are worth around 1.8 million euros.
