A tour of Lüneburg's city

Team Ghana and Esther Bejarano Schule teachers and students had the privilege to visit Lüneburg. Below is a little history of the city.
Lüneburg's history is defined by the rich salt deposits discovered there, which made the city a wealthy and powerful member of the Hanseatic League in the Middle Ages.
The city preserved its medieval Hanseatic architecture because it was spared damage in World War II. Key historical periods include its rise through salt mining, its loss of independence in the 18th century, its role as a Prussian garrison town, and its significant post-war role in hosting the trial for Belsen and Auschwitz perpetrators,

Lüneburg was fortunate to be spared from damage during WWII, preserving its historical medieval cityscape.

The Alter Kran, a historical crane at the former Ilmenau docks, was also used in the salt trade.

Today, Lüneburg is a growing town in North Germany with over 78,000 inhabitants and almost 4 million tourists every year.
After the tour, we enjoyed some Fries and a special Kebab. Later topped it up with some hot Cappuccino.
The tour to Lüneburg was worth it. Thanks to our tour guide Mr. Erik.Read more
