A celebrated organist, Dietrich Buxtehude is thought to have been born in Bad Oldesloe in 1637. His glorious Abendmusik (evening music) at St. Mary's Church enjoyed wide renown; Johann Sebastian Bach made a lengthy pilgrimage to L�beck to hear him play. It was in the shadow of the same magnificent Gothic church that Thomas Mann wrote Buddenbrooks. Buxtehude's musical legacy lives on in L�beck, even today.
