– Mons Pons Fons | pregnant houses | ropestone | red roses | salt sauce –
The 41 bells of Meissen porcelain of the Carillion in the town hall tower play a serenade to us, pregnant brick houses stretch their walls towards us, a carriage rattles over the cobblestone pavement as in former times – we stroll through the picture book alleys in Lüneburg’s old town.
SALT- AND HANSEATIC CITY LÜNEBURG
At the time of the Hanseatic League, Lüneburg was the salt house of the association of cities of the same name. The white gold made the city and its inhabitants rich and gave it a favorable reputation. This wealth is still clearly visible in many places today.
Until the 90s of the last century, salt production was part of the town’s activities. Today the well-preserved medieval flair is combined with the life of a young university town – including the highest density of pubs in Germany.
We explore the personal touch of the city on our tour through the over thousand year old Lüneburg, which is more like a walk. The city fascinates with its historical gables, winding alleys and many different sights. On the way we discover past times, experience the fresh wind in the old streets and find together answers to questions such as…
…what the three terms Mons – Pons – Fons mean for Lüneburg?
…why, of all things, a wild boar is intimately connected with the history of salt?
…why in Lüneburg not only women can get pregnant?
…what a blowout is?
…since when did “Red Roses” play a major role in the city?
Our common walk through one of the most beautiful old towns of Germany ends at the water tower. You can then conquer it on your own. Or treat yourself to a pleasurable break in one of the small backyard cafés before you set off on a leisurely shopping spree.
Follow me – I look forward to seeing you!
