The old Hanseatic city of Lübeck has traditionally been the link between the North and Baltic Seas. As diverse as the city's history is, so are its residents: Hanseatic merchants meet cod fishermen, marzipan bakers mingle with red wine merchants, and sailors stroll along the Travemünde promenade with the upper-class daughters. The author Dieter Bührig takes the reader to his favorite spots in and around Lübeck, where both locals and tourists feel equally at home.
