Guided Story
You're standing on one of the most significant squares in Lübeck's Old Town, known as Koberg. This square isn't just the city's second-largest marketplace; it's also where Lübeck's main north-south street axes come together. From 1889 to 1936, it was called Geibelplatz, marking the original location of the Geibel Monument. If you look to the east, you'll see the impressive Holy Spirit Hospital just 50 meters away. Behind you, around 71 meters to the south, stands St. Jakobi Church. Koberg is a place of history and a crossroads that ties together Lübeck's rich past with its present.
