Lubeck is a beautiful old city and deffinately worth visiting if you are in North Germany. It was bombed in the war and the Cathedral bells have been left shattered on the floor of the East apse where they fell as a memorial. Having been to Coventry and seen the devestation that befell one of the greatest medieval cities of Europe it was hard not to feel emotional here and in Bremen, two other medieval treasures. It was seeing this damage that made me realise just how much Europe lost during these years of madness.
Pictured here are the gates to the city.
