LÜBECK
Work and learn where others
spend their holidays! Lübeck
counts among the top destinations
in the tourism state of Schles wig-
Holstein. The Hanse town with its
charming historic center and its
manifold leisure activities is an ideal
location. Popular are its marzipan,
the Holstentor, the Buddenbrooks
house, and of course: the Baltic Sea.
Many bigger and smaller seaside re-
sorts are just a stone‘s throw away.
