holstein gate
Luebeck, Germany, 2015.
Mein Versuch, das Holstentor aus einem anderen Blickwinkel abzulichten.
Build 1478, holstein gate guards the western entrance to Luebeck's old city center. Actually, there used to be a series of 4 gates in a row, like pearls in a string. In the course of industrialization, the fortifications were considered to be only annoying obstacles. In 1808 the second outer Holsten Gate was demolished, in 1828 the inner Holsten Gate, and in 1853 the outer Holsten Gate. It was then considered to be only as a matter of time before the Middle Holsten Gate, the only remaining of the four gates, this one photographed would be torn down

Just as well, one pearl remained and withstood until today :-)
