Fashion instead of salt: The Salzspeicher (salt store) directly next to the Holstentor (Holsten Gate) are two of the landmarks of Lübeck. Its transformation into a fashion house documents how this Hanseatic city has succeeded in combining tradition and innovation through public spirit and inventiveness. The Heick & Schmaltz company has preserved the ancient building from decay, and presents clothing for men, women and children, as well as underwear and accessories, on three floors.
