Lübeck: A father and his daughter experience the magic of the Hanseatic League!
A Berlin woman and a Lübeck declaration of love
On August 11, 2025, a five-year-old Berlin girl and her father went on a discovery tour in Lübeck. After a lovely concert at the music college, where the girl even lost her first tooth, they had a colorful day eating ice cream and buying marzipan. A highlight was the visit to the puppet theater, where the little girl was able to bring the puppets to life. These experiences not only made her eyes light up, but also led to an emotional moment: the child expressed her wish to spend her childhood in Lübeck. For her father, a native of Lübeck, this statement touched his heart. He recognized the beauty and charm of the city, which many locals also hold deep in their hearts.
Lübeck, also known as the “Queen of the Hanseatic League,” has an impressive history that dates back to 1143, when it was founded by Adolf vonSchauenburg. With a historic legacy that was cemented by Emperor Frederick II when Lübeck was declared an imperial city in 1226, the pride of Lübeck residents in their city is by no means unfounded. Even today the city is praised as one of the most beautiful places in the world. Lübeck.de emphasizes that this centuries-long fame results not only from trade relationships, but also from the urban structure, which is still characterized today by waterways, patrician houses and churches.
The beauty of Lübeck
It is precisely this structure that contributes to Lübeck's uniqueness. Despite the destruction of the Second World War, the old town has largely been preserved. The overall impression is characterized by impressive landmarks such as the Holstentor and the silhouette of the city, which is characterized by seven church towers. UNESCO named the old town a World Heritage Site in 1987 – clear evidence of its extraordinary global value. Here, visitors encounter tradition and modern life as they stroll through historic corridors and caves that offer a journey back in time.
For the people of Lübeck themselves, the feeling of home is deeply rooted. The primary school teacher Ms. Bolm encourages her students to understand the importance of the Hanseatic League and Lübeck's role in this context. Their educational approach helps to promote local patriotism among youth and keep knowledge of their city alive. Lübeck is not only a place of the past, but also a lively center for culture and community.
Today Lübeck is not only a gateway to the Baltic Sea, but also a place where tradition and progress go hand in hand. And while the little Berliner dreams of her trip, the city remains an incomparable experience for everyone who visits her.
