"To be included in the World Heritage List, you can also see that it is very distinctive, so I will give you a detailed introduction to this charming city, introduce the geographical location, and briefly introduce the history of the city. ”

"Lübeck is a typical medieval mountain city, the old town of Lübeck is located in Schleswig, Germany, Holstein, since its founding in 1143, has been a famous port and commercial city in Europe, its influence is comparable to other Hanseatic cities such as Hamburg, Copenhagen, Bremen and so on. ”

In the 11th century, Lübeck was renamed 'Leubis', which means "lovely city", and in 1143, Adolf II, Count of Holstein, rebuilt Lübeck on the basis of "lovely city", forming the prototype of today's old city. ”

In 1358, Lübeck became the headquarters of the Hanseatic League, confirming its important position in Europe, in the 16th century, with the gradual strengthening of the Nordic countries, Lübeck lost its former glory, after entering the 20th century, the former scenery was gone, after the Second World War, air raids destroyed one-fifth of the buildings in the old city, after the war, the German government worked hard to repair and protect the remaining cultural relics, so that the old city of Lübeck is still a well-preserved medieval city in the Nordic region. ”

"The Old Town is divided into three parts, the first is the eastern and northern areas of the Old Town, the second is the southwest area of the Old Town, and the third is the Church of St. Mary. ”

"The city also has a long history, dating back to the early 11th century, in the 14th century Lübeck was called the 'Queen of the Hanseatic League', was the seat of royalty and the center of trade, and has been the most powerful member of this medieval trade union, with industries such as shipbuilding, steelmaking, non-ferrous metallurgy, mechanical engineering, fish processing, chemistry, cement, etc., medieval monuments in the city, and a wide range of suburbs, including the coastal recreation of Travemünde, where the Travo River gave Lübeck an estuary open to the Baltic Sea and Northern Europe. ”

"Founded during the Western Renaissance and gradually controlling the maritime trade of Northern Europe, Lübeck became the leader of the Hanseatic League, which reached its heyday around the 14th century, and until the end of the 16th century the city was still prosperous, and to this day, it still retains its original style, and everyone who walks in the city of Lübeck is indeed walking on the ancient road of thousands of years. ”

Head Xia Yuxiang nodded, "It's really good, I've been to Germany for academic exchanges before, I've been to Berlin a lot, and I've been to Hamburg, but due to limited time, I haven't been to other attractions, this time, we let Robin be a tour guide, take us to get to know it, it's still pretty good!"

"I am still very interested in these cities with a long history, with the precipitation of time, the buildings of these cities have the imprint of history, you can come to see it, you can enhance your understanding of Germany, but also understand German customs, and in the future in cooperation with the Germans, it can also be helpful." ”

Captain Xia Yuxiang smiled, "I won't interject, continue to let Robin introduce to everyone, if you don't understand anything, just ask Robin, he is German, he is very familiar with the terrain of Germany, and he also understands the local customs, follow him, that's right!"

"Hahaha!" Robin smiled, "Thank you, Captain Xia for your trust in me!"

"The North of the Old Town is a typical example of the character of a medieval town, which is mainly reflected in the unique brick houses and terraced mountain flowers of the buildings. ”

"The eastern and northern parts of the old town, now designated as a conservation area, maintain the medieval layout and are characterized by the harmonious blending of the religious and secular aspects of the 10th-century city. ”

"The skyover of the city, made up of seven towers of churches, highlights the city's unique style, and at the same time serves as a living museum of architecture, Gothic, Baroque, Rock, Non-Classical, from the Middle Ages to the modern era. ”
