About
Liubice, known as Alt-Lübeck, was a medieval Slavic settlement strategically located near the modern city of Lübeck, Germany. Established in the 7th century, it was a significant site for the Slavic tribes, particularly the Obotrites. The settlement featured a castle that underwent multiple modifications over time, including a moat and other defensive structures, indicating its strategic importance. A church, a granary, and workshops were part of the complex, showcasing a well-organized settlement. Liubice served as a royal residence for notable figures, such as Prince Henry, and experienced periods of conflict and rebuilding. The site holds historical significance as it represents the Slavic presence and influence in the region before the establishment of the German settlement of Lübeck in the 12th century.
