Free Hanseatic City of Lübeck
REFERENCE: Lübeck is a town in northern Germany (southeast of Schleswig-Holstein). Port on the Baltic Sea near the mouth of the Grass River. In history, it is known as the largest center of the Hanseatic League. After the end of the Napoleonic Wars, Lübeck remains (along with Bremen, Hamburg and Frankfurt) one of the four surviving German "free cities." It was in this capacity that Lubeck in 1815 became part of the newly formed German Union, and then, in 1871, became part of the German Empire. The status of an independent state entity remained with Lübeck during the Weimar Republic.
