GERMANY ~ Lunenburg ~

... A nice selection town views with several multi-colored historical buildings... Lüneburg dates back more than 1,000 years and is without a doubt one of the prettiest towns in northern Germany...  built on the side of a hill surrounded by two rivers... having survived World War II undamaged, it has retained its magical Medieval charm... it was once a major salt producing place in Germany... but today, it is known for culture, music and fine arts...  with great special postmark and stamp👍 celebrating 50 years "Tatort" one of the most popular German TV crime shows... Thanks a lot Dustin!【ツ】 

Lüneburgis a town in the German state of Lower Saxony on the Ilmenau River and was long the capital of the dukes of Brunswick-Lüneburg.

It was an important member of the Hanseatic League. Predominately built in the late-Gothic and Renaissance styles, the city has several fine churches, a large city hall  and many gabled houses in the characteristic north German style. 

Lüneburg is also home to Leuphana University.
