The exhibition shows a variety of places in the city and presents stories from Lübeck residents. The stories show how change is perceived – sometimes as a challenge, but often as an opportunity
says Anika Slawski, research assistant at Department of Construction the TH Lübeck. The stories are, among other things, about young people and their everyday places: about schools, libraries, places that enable encounters, and about the desire for a city that is designed for the next generation.
The exhibition is based on conversations and photographs collected by a group of urban planning students from TH Lübeck and Roskilde University in April 2025. Future city planners are convinced that if you want to plan cities and spaces for people, you first have to think intensively about the people who live their lives here. Like with Gerald Schleiwies, the head of the city library. It’s unbelievable how intricate and winding the city library is. Like Lübeck in small.
It became clear: Lübeck is more than just a historical place – it is a city with future potential. With the new fixed Fehmarnbelt link, Lübeck is moving closer to Copenhagen – and thus also to new ideas, perspectives and possibilities
says Anika Slawski.
