Priwall: Öffentlicher Strand Travemünde - Molenfeuer Travemünde - Nordermole Travemünde - Maritim Hotel Lübeck-Travemünde
Few places in Schleswig-Holstein have a history as closely tied to Lübeck’s maritime trade as Priwall. The peninsula occupies the eastern bank of the River Trave where it meets the Baltic Sea, directly opposite Travemünde. Since 1329, Travemünde has belonged to Lübeck and served as its seaport, a role still expressed by ferry and commercial traffic through the river mouth. The Nordermole projects into the Baltic beside the harbour entrance, marked by the Travemünde mole light. On the Travemünde shore, the public beach forms a long strip of sand, while the Maritim Hotel Lübeck-Travemünde provides a distinctly vertical note on this otherwise low-lying coast. Priwall combines beach space, dune vegetation and the working approach to one of northern Germany’s historic Hanseatic ports.

Priwall occupies a sandy peninsula between the Trave estuary and the Baltic Sea in Schleswig-Holstein. Facing Lübeck’s seaside district of Travemünde across the river, it combines long Baltic beaches with a low-lying shore shaped by dunes and coastal woodland. The peninsula once bordered the former inner-German frontier; since reunification, the nearby Pötenitzer Wiek forms part of a continuous coastal area. The four-masted barque Passat, moored in Travemünde, recalls the area’s long maritime connections, while a ferry links Priwall with the opposite bank.

Schleswig-Holstein blends maritime openness with rural calm in a way that reflects its position between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. Germany’s northernmost state borders Denmark and stretches across low farmland, marshes, sandy shores and islands. The Kiel Canal crosses the region, linking the North Sea at Brunsbüttel with the Baltic near Kiel. On the west coast, the tidal flats of the Wadden Sea form part of a UNESCO World Heritage site. Lübeck’s historic centre, shaped by the Hanseatic League and Brick Gothic architecture, adds an important urban counterpoint.

Germany stretches from the North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts to the Alps on its southern border, encompassing northern plains, river valleys and forested uplands. The Rhine, Danube and Elbe have long connected its regions, while the Black Forest and Bavarian Alps give the south a more dramatic relief. Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island reflect the capital’s role in German history and culture. Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises above the Rhine, and the Bauhaus movement, founded in Weimar in 1919, transformed modern design far beyond Germany. Regional cooking, Christmas markets and brewing traditions bring further character to daily life. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Germany.
