The city itself offers various cultural activities and has got an excellent infrastructure.
The economical structure of Lüneburg is characterized by several New Media service companies, skilled trades and dynamic industries. The University of Lüneburg and the University of Applied Studies practise an intensive exchange with local enterprises because of their attractive study offers: They include both classical subjects and model-based courses such as economic law, economic psychology, automation and cultural sciences.
As a centre in the Northeastern part of Lower Saxony, Lüneburg will benefit even more from the area around the metropolis Hamburg in the future. Just like in times of the Hanseatic league, it will profit from it’s Eastern and Western relationships. As a Hanseatic city, Lüneburg used to be an important trade centre. Due to it’s natural salt supplies that were sold all over Europe in the Middle Ages, the city gained wealth and prosperity. The gabled houses of the patricians are a proof for that up to this very day. In 2012, Lüneburg will arrange the Hanseatic Day.
