Hiking

These lions once stood in front of the Hotel Stadt Hamburg, which was so badly damaged in WW II that it had to be demolished.

Hiking

2 of the former Lübeck city gates are guarded by a total of 4 black lions: Here at the Holstentor there are 2 lions, one of which is sleeping and the other is awake. They were originally located in the city center in front of the Hotel Stadt Hamburg, which was destroyed in World War II. They became known, among other things, through their mention in Thomas Mann's "Tonio Kröger".

The other two lions can be found in front of the castle gate.
