Lemgo, Germany founded in the year 1190, was located at the crossroads of two important trade routes. During the middle ages this town became the most important town in the Lipper Land region.

When the thirty year war occured it caused a great set back in the advancement of the town. During the 19th century Lemgo once again was able to prosper.

Lemgo survived World war II with very little structural damage. Therefore, most of the old building dating back to the 1500's still survive.

A wonderful place to visit if you plan to travel through Northern Germany.
