Buddenbrooks' Lübeck, 1900
This is Lübeck in the long, dignified afterglow of its Hanseatic past, a compact island of brick churches, gabled merchant houses and quiet canals. The walk follows steamers and quays into the old town, past patrician doorways on Mengstraße, marzipan shops and the Holstentor settling into its marsh, ending on the tree-lined wall promenades that frame the island.
33 scenes — 21 streets, squares and views, 12 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Lübeck as it stood in 1900 (“Lübeck”).
