The sow must have wallowed in a salt spring and so the first source of salt was discovered in Lüneburg about 800 years ago. Operation From the 12th century salt mining was the dominant feature of life in the town of Lüneburg. At that time, table salt was almost as valuable as gold and was measured in ''chors'' (1 ''chor'' = 554.32 kg), one ''chor'' being worth about 300 Reichsmarks. The salt mine was located between ''Sülzwiese'' and the hill of the Kalkberg. Its main entrance was on ''Lambertiplatz'' and the whole site was surrounded by thick walls and high towers. To assist in the transportation of salt, a canal and a crane were built on the ''Stint'', a former smelt market by the harbour. The square known as ''Am Sande'' was uncobbled in medieval times and covered in sand, h ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
