Tailer's Family - journeying!
Project: Germany - Lubeck.
Germany - Lubeck: Holstentor.
From outside the Alstadt - old city:
Lübeck’s landmark, the Holstentor. This city gate is made up of two red brick, cylindrical towers capped with peaked roofs that flank a gabled house with the characteristic up and down stairway-shaped façade. When it was completed in 1478, the Holstentor became Lübeck’s western gateway, a guardian of the city center on the far side of the Trave River. The gateway seems rather squat and lopsided, but is still impressive because of what it represents - Lübeck at the height of its power.

`in gold lettering the words over the entrance of the Gate read:
CONCORDIA DOMI FORIS PAX.
On the right of the picture can be seen The Salzspeicher (salt storehouses) of Lübeck, Germany, six historic brick buildings on the Upper Trave River. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salzspeicher
The first time I saw the Holstentor was as a picture on the lid of a jigsaw puzzle when I was a child! I guess that I never dreampt that I would see it for real!
