Lübeck harbor
The port of Lübeck is the port in the city of Lübeck . In 2018, around 25 million tons of goods were handled on the lübschen quay edges. In terms of handling figures, it is the second largest German Baltic port after the port of Rostock . In the Baltic Sea, the port of Lübeck is the most south-westerly port with cargo handling. The largest operator of ports and terminals in the port of Lübeck is the port company of Lübeck . The Lübeck Port Authority (LPA) is responsible for all municipal port responsibilities.
history
Lübeck's access to the Baltic Sea was secured in 1329 with the purchase of Travemünde . Travemünde was used more as an access to the Baltic Sea than as a port. For several centuries, the Lübeck trading port was located between the Einsiedelfähre and the Holstenbrücke . Around 1850, the Trave was barely built and was between 40 and 50 meters wide on the edge of the old town. Planks were laid on the bank and quays as we know today did not yet exist. The ships moored in the river on stakes or alongside of booms . Lübeck found that the competitor Rostock overtook Lübeck's trading business, in 1851 Rostock had twice as high turnover figures. A new competitor emerged in the north with the port of Kiel. In 1840 Kiel had received a railway construction concession from Denmark. Lübeck, suffering from declining trade and almost completely enclosed by Danish territory, responded to this as early as 1848 by signing a state treaty with Denmark, after which the city was allowed to build a train station. In 1851 the port area was connected to the railway network, for this purpose parts of the fortifications were torn down and the port was designed with the material. This led to a major change in the entire port area. In 1854 the port area was divided into the Holstenhafen as a sailing ship port, today's Hansahafen with steamers and the old city moat with wooden ships.
Even before the construction of the sea border slaughterhouse, the cold store, with its direct connection to the slaughterhouse, was the only such networked facility and the largest company of its kind in the German Empire and in the entire Baltic region. The unity of port, railroad, slaughterhouse and cold store was essential for supplying Germany at this time and during both world wars. So the coal mining area of today's North Rhine-Westphalia was supplied daily , which was important for the economic prosperity of the city.
Infrastructure and quays
The port extends along the Trave from downtown Lübeck to the mouth of the river in the Lübeck-Travemünde district . The port has a total area of approximately 264 hectares and approximately 40 public jetties.
In the area of the port operates its own port railway , which is connected to the DB network. To this end, the Lübeck Port Authority (LPA) functions together with the Lübecker Hafen-Gesellschaft (LHG) and Nordic Rail Service GmbH (NRS) as a railway infrastructure company (EIU) and operates 60 km of tracks with 260 points between the port terminals, individual private sidings from Companies and the routes of the DB.
The port of Lübeck has several quays:
- Skandinavienkai : From here ferries run to Sweden, Finland and Latvia; it is de facto the Lübeck ferry port .
- Seelandkai : is equipped with 2 container cranes
- Nordlandkai
- Schlutup : was specially built for the paper industry and used for paper products
