The view opens onto an area that keeps the Holstentor clear and simultaneously showcases it. The structure with its characteristic towers of reddish-brown brick forms the imposing conclusion of a wide lawn that gently extends towards the city center. Behind it rises the historic silhouette of the Hanseatic city, characterized by further brick buildings and the pointed church spires of Lübeck.

This place acts as a silent guardian of the city's history, embedded in a green space that dampens the urban hustle and bustle. The open design of the forecourt allows the mighty gate to appear in its full splendor and emphasizes its role as a former bottleneck to the city.

Access: The Holstentor is located directly on Holstentorplatz in Lübeck.
