Holsten Gate - Great Attractions (Lübeck, Germany)

Take a tour of Holsten Gate in Lübeck, Germany -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats.


It is the signature building of Lubeck, Germany and a powerful symbol of civic strength.

The Holsten Gate is an impressive monument of a bygone age in Lubeck's history.

Originally the gate was part of the town's defensive wall, marking the western boundary.

It dates back to the 15th century, when Lubeck was a strongly fortified medieval city.

The city was known as the Queen of the Hanseatic League, a powerful trade organization.

Though Lubeck has since expanded past the Holsten Gate, they still remember what it signifies.
