Lübeck in context

Lübeck is Germany's leading Baltic Sea port and the most important hub for ferry and Ro-Ro traffic to Scandinavia and the Baltic states, which strongly orients the city toward Scandinavian trade flows. As the seat of the listed Drägerwerk AG and with the research-strong University of Lübeck, a dense cluster for medical and safety technology has formed, complemented by spin-offs and Fraunhofer facilities (IMTE, EMB). The profile is rounded out by a world-famous confectionery and marzipan tradition (Niederegger, Carstens) as well as by tourism centered on the UNESCO World Heritage old town and the Baltic seaside resort of Travemünde.
