Queen of the Hanse: Lübeck, 1500
Lübeck in 1500 stands at the height of its Hanseatic power: a dense island city of brick churches, merchant houses, quays stacked with salted cargo and sea-going cogs. The walk follows the Trave’s approach, passes through the Holstentor into the market and guild streets, then moves along the salt storehouses and harbor quays before rising to the ramparts for a final view of the seven towers.
36 scenes — 22 streets, squares and views, 14 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Lübeck as it stood in 1500 (“Lübeck”).
