Overview

If you'd like to travel through time by seeing architecture from the 14th to the 20th century without missing a style...the best place to do so would be the Große Petersgrube. Without any boring ordinary faces, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo, Classic and Modern Age facades line the street, creating an extremely charming view. The rich patrician families once lived here, building their houses in a unique combination of understatement and representation. If you ignore the example created in the 20th century - a frightening garage complex - the buildings from so many centuries make a wonderful ensemble, providing a nice impression of what old Lübeck was like.
