The Hanseatic city of Lübeck is a popular destination in Northern Germany. It is located in the South of Schleswig-Holstein and has almost 212,000 inhabitants. Hamburg, Kiel and Schwerin can be reached in about one hour by car. The city has the bynames “Gate to the North” and “The City of the Seven Towers”. These seven towers of the five Gothic main churches shape the city as much as the so-called Holstentor does. This is the unmistakably landmark of Lübeck and a popular photo subject. Moreover, the city is famous for its marzipan and the brothers Mann. The Buddenbrookhaus is another favorite sight of Lübeck.
