Lübeck is the second largest city in Schleswig-Holstein, in northern Germany, and one of the major ports of Germany. It was for several centuries the capital of the Hanseatic League (Queen of the Hanse) and because of its Brick Gothic architectural heritage is on UNESCOs list of World Heritage Sites
In 1226 Emperor Frederick II declared the city of Lübeck to be an Imperial Free City. In the 14th century Lübeck became the Queen of the Hanseatic League, being by far the largest and most powerful member of this medieval trade organization.
