Your neighbourhood: urban, dense and full of life
Did you know that on just 2.9 square kilometres we have one of the highest population densities in Lübeck? While much of the city feels spacious, around 15,800 of us live close together here in St. Lorenz Süd. This “island” setting shapes daily life between industrial heritage, new housing and the constant rhythm of commuting at the main station. Whether you live in a historic workers’ quarter or a new build on the “Neue Meile”, you’re part of a district that keeps reinventing itself.

|---|---|
| Residents | approx. 15,800 people |

Why this site? Our goals for you
This magazine is an unofficial project by neighbours for neighbours. We want to give you a central place for information that matters in everyday life in St. Lorenz Süd. We aim to:
- Inform: What’s happening with major building projects like the “Neue Meile”?
- Connect: Where can you find support at the neighbourhood office or family offers?
- Preserve: We keep our history alive – from the old goods station to the courage of the Lübeck Martyrs at the Lutherkirche.
- Share visions: How do we want to live in 2040?
