I think this may be where they prepared goods to be shipped to Lubeck, but I could be wrong as I had no map and do not read enough German to understand all of what the plaque said.

Making my way from the Hbf to the city center. Somewhere along this road there was supposed to be an information center but we never found it and ended up taking maps from some random fish shack that showed their location in Lubeck.

It's always frustrating to have to take pictures when the subject of your picture is not just by a busy road, but there are masses of tour groups that just won't move out of the way.

Marzipan - IMG_2237.jpg

Marzipan, which is almond paste, was invented in Lubeck after a flour shortage so it was essential that I bought some at this place which is famous for the stuff. Aside from the cute shapes it came in, marzipan is rather unpleasant as it tastes like almond extract flavored toothpaste, gritty texture and all.

This clock was absolutely crazy. I think it was supposed to show the moon cycles, constellations, and zodiac times although I can't be sure since it also had years on it. All that black stuff was writing with dates on it.
