Is "Hansestadt Lübeck" in Schleswig-Holstein? If so, what does the word "Hansestadt" mean? Is Lübeck a town or a region? If this is in Schleswig Holstein, where do I find the records of who lived there in 1852-1872? Thank you, Marlene South Dakota

Lubeck....northeast of Hamburg....was a "free city" in the Hanseatic trading league. It's a very interesting place. Start with Familysearch.org.......I'm pretty sure the Mormons photographed church records there. John
