LUBECK GERMANY10:44 - 3 years ago http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubeck 1974 Lübeck ( population (2005): 213,983) is the second largest city in Schleswig-Holstein, in northern Germany. It was for several centuries the "capital" of the Hanseatic League ("Queen of the Hanse") and because of its Brick Gothic architectural heritage is on UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites. Lübeck is situated at the Trave river with the largest German port at the Baltic Sea. The old part of the town is an island enclosed by the Trave river. The Elbe-Lübeck Canal connects the Trave with the Elbe river. Another important river near the town center is the Wakenitz. Autobahn 1 connects Lübeck with Hamburg and Denmark. The borough Travemünde is a sea resort and ferry port at the coast of the Baltic Sea. The old town centre is dominated by seven church steeples. The oldest ones are the Dom and the Marienkirche (Saint Mary's), both from the 13th and 14th centuries. Once the town could only be entered by passing one of four town gates, of which the Holstentor (1478) is the best-known. The entire old town has kept a medieval look with old buildings and narrow streets. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubeck 1974 Lübeck ( population (2005): 213,983) is the second largest city in Schleswig-Holstein, in northern Germany.
