Destination 2017: Lübeck

Welcome to the city of Lübeck, the Queen of the Hanseatic city in the north of Germany. Featuring lots of grand public buildings in red brick, it's a great destination for lovers of marzipan.

oh Lübeck, schon 2 Jahre her dass wir getrennt sind. Ich vermisse die Stadt so sehr... es war die stadt meines Austausch. Bis bald Königin der Hanse

[@DrHotep]

Lübeck wasn't completely destroyed. 1500out of 22000 houses were destroyed and about half of the houses were damaged. :-) But a great video as always! Finally one about my hometown^^

[@NonSurvivorOne]

Dr. Ny Har Rut Hotep “the city of Lübeck was MORE OR LESS completely destroyed...“

[@kaleemjan4899]

Dr. Ny Har Rut Hotep You are living in a Fabulous City. 👍🏻

[@aurelius2495]

Only 1/5 destroyed

[@arnonuehm1]

I saw you filming on the Petrikirche tower. Didn't really know what to say and didn't want to bother you, but it was still cool to see someone in person that you only know from the internet.

[@obsessivelyoli]

Right when I was afraid there would be no more episodes to watch, you give me another one! They're really informative. Please continue the series. Thank you Rewboss!

[@countorlok2912]

Lubeck is one of my favourite places in Germany in fact I actually went there last years in 2019 to visit all the filming locations from one of my favourite films of all time Nosferatu 1922

[@eerovond]

I visited Lübeck briefly in 1986 and was struck by its beauty. Your video is making me long to return.

[@ornleifs]

Never been to Lübeck but it's definitely on the top of my list of German places I want to visit, specially since I absolutely love Marzipan and the best one comes from Lübeck and I saw Niederegger in the video which is the best Marzipan I've ever tasted. And yes the Marzipan museum is definitely a place I want to visit.

[@OmmerSyssel]

Örn Leifsson Lübeck was one of the most interesting & welcoming German towns I've visited. Quite a lot of tourists but never crowded & the stimmung was typical relaxed north german in contrast to the partly aggressive behaviour further south.. Ignore the prices when eating through the impressive diversity of Marzipan, Cake & Beer. Quality is high, making it worth every Euro. (well almost, - but you only live once..) Recommend Wismar aswell because of the architecture & historically connection to Scandinavia. On display written shipping notes from export of bricks to the oldest buildings in Denmark..

[@wandilismus8726]

Niederegger is from Lübeck

[@keidun]

Most excellent...you so a great job in telling the history of your destination cities...

[@PeterD75]

The old part of the town is very beautiful ...♥️♥️♥️

[@motivase]

Thankks a lot for the portrait of my birthplace. Awesome, can't say anything more!

[@MarkusWolff]

You have to go to Lübeck for the Christmas market. Best in the north, IMHO.

[@ericcarlson3746]

it looks wonderful

[@MegaJK97]

Aaaaaah, a video of my hometown, thank you 😍 Will you show Travemünde aswell as the little cities in the north of Lübeck? They're worth visiting ^~^

[@linajurgensen4698]

Schleswig-Holstein, mein Bundesland!❤️

[@readisgooddewaterkant7890]

Könen sie plattdeutch?

[@eltfell]

Two remarks: In the "Schiffergesellschaft" there is a good restaurant with a dining area from the 16th century. In St. James' there is a lifeboat from the doomed tall ship "Pamir".

[@Toxicity1987]

It was about time that you visit my beautiful hometown.

[@S.Munhoz]

I've been there 3 weeks ago, after 40 years of the last staying there. What a wonderful destination !!!

[@fredpenner5667]

I will be spending g a couple of days there in my first trip to Europe next week! Ahhhh!!!!! :)

[@budisantosogeografi]

Lubeck I love this City...

[@PuzzleQodec]

Wow Andrew you outdid yourself with this one. Lübeck should seriously consider a donation! :D

[@Niko_demus]

Ich denke, das sollte ich auch mal hinfahren.

[@clydesight]

Anoth outstanding travelogue! Thank you so much for posting this, I found it fascinating.

[@TheLordZoka]

Great video. I think I commented on one of your videos a while back recommending you to make a Destination video in Lübeck. Glad to see you made it there. I still need to visit there some day to see all of that beautiful architecture.

[@Rayhid1956]

Very nice video as usual. Thanks and keep up the good job.

[@downhill240]

I have to watch these presentations twice. Once with the sound and once with the sound turned off so I can just pause frequently in order to really look at the lovely architecture. Thanks for sharing!

[@samuel.baumgartner]

Tolles Video! Kann mir vorstellen wie viel Arbeit das ist! Liebe Grüße aus Österreich!

[@292Artemis]

aww, what a great video about my hometown. :-)

[@shahlabadel8628]

all I can say is: first-class!! thanks.

[@immocentrum]

It's a fine city ! 🏤😃🏰😀

[@Treva097]

You got to visit Schwerin , the castle alone is very beautiful!

[@derradfahrer5029]

7:42 The Holsten Gate is also depicted on some 2 Euro Coins.

[@mellowmarkable]

Very interesting. Can you do one on Lüneburg?

[@HaploidCell]

Although I study English I had no idea what Marzipan is called in English or how you pronounce it. Was pleasantly surprised that it is quite simple :DDDDD Thanks for the great video.

[@vbvideo1669]

Tolle Bilder und Informationen. Vielen Dank! :)

[@Osmone_Everony]

Once again I got to say your videos are truly professional in picture and narrative. If I wouldn't know better I'd say I just watched a BBC documentary. :)

[@501lilspoon]

You should do Dresden next

[@IANinALTONA]

Very nice, but no Trip to Lübeck is complete without Travemünde, the city's seaside suburb.

[@Treva097]

great ! 3000 views and 0 dislikes , this video was really good!

[@thomaswolf2896]

Wismar, Rostock, Stralsund to come?

[@PB-ff9tj]

Halle and Wittenberg are also spectacular

[@petrameyer1121]

Peer Gynt: Morning.

[@chaushb]

Come to Bremen :)

[@lubitsch9255]

As others already have said here, the video starts with a totally misleading and wrong statement. Lübeck wasn't "more or less completely destroyed" which sounds as if it was largely wiped out, it was definitively among the least destroyed major towns in Germany. You can see here archiv.nationalatlas.de/wp-content/art_pdf/Band5_88-91_archiv.pdf that it belonged to those with a destruction level of below 20%. And here stadtentwicklung.luebeck.de/files/managementplan.pdf on page 19 you can see which areas are the UNESCO world heritage. Implying that "for the most part" the historic town centre is "in fact a post-war reconstruction" is totally wrong, some larger structures had to be restored, but if you see old houses they are the genuine thing.

[@comsubpac]

The White and Red was also integrated into the Colors of the German Empire. Black and White were the Colors of Prussia and the Red came from the Hanse.

[@abirreza7183]

Searching for a video on Kiel

[@FlashheadX]

May I ask how you travelled there and how long you stayed? I'm from Heidelberg and interesting in visiting the town, too.

[@Gnomi666]

ich stehe total auf diese Art von Videos von dir. Wie entscheidest du dich wo es als nächstes hin geht? Ich komme nämlich aus Bad Segeberg also ist Lübeck direkt nebenan für mich^^

[@NiklasPoller]

How about Forchheim/Oberfranken?

[@JustCurious2watch]

Ich überleg grad, wie Walberla auf Englisch klingen könnt. *lach*

[@Seegalgalguntijak]

Wow, is the English translation of "Heiliger Geist" really the "Holy Ghost"? I always thought it was the "Holy Spirit"....

[@etvdzs]

Well, i certainly remember having heard both "Holy Ghost" and "Holy Spirit" used at church.

[@EvanC0912]

I'd love to visit Loo back (Sorry, Lübeckers)

[@johannesplatzerjoptvtravel8171]

Klasse Video, danke fürs teilen! Ps. Schaue mal auf meinen Reisekanal. L.G. Johannes.

[@fs2728]

Very interesting. A little correction: "Mecklenburg" is pronounced with long [e:], despite its writing with 'ck'. But I think even most western Germans do it wrong.

[@freesoftwareextremist8119]

Same with any north German place or surname actually.

[@rewboss]

I did try to pronounce it with a long E. It may not have come out very clearly, though.

[@jordidebont9547]

I hear Morgenstimmung => I press like

[@phigu198]

I got Flashbacks of not having enough alcohol in stock.

[@tamino27]

Thank you, for this informative video. But you made a mistake at the beginning: Lübeck wasn´t completely destroyed, it was neverless badly damaged. by this early time of WWII the RAF hasn´t had the "skills" to create a so called fire storm. But they learned from it which resulted in the complete destruction of Dresden, Pforzheim, Würzburg, inner center of Hamburg, Darmstadt, the old City of Frankfurt...

[@rewboss]

That's why I said "more or less". Over 1,000 buildings were damaged, many destroyed. Firestorms were actually quite rare. Only 5% of attempts to create one actually succeeded.

[@folkestender2025]

Lübeck was not completely destroyed. Only about 1/5 of the old town was completely destroyed. However, the historic facades of many burned-out medieval houses were preserved and could be rebuilt. The 3 destroyed churches were also rebuilt. Nevertheless, it was a great loss, as parts of completely destroyed areas were unfortunately rebuilt with unsightly post-war architecture, because people in the 1950s had no point in restoring the old town to its original state. Everything should be modern. The Poles did better in old town Gdansk.

It's nice seeing the last years of Germanistain.

[@Exarathas]

I love Lübeck! I go there for business trips a few times a year, all the way from the Black Forest and I'm always looking forward to the city.
