Live with success around German city (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lubeck

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'german city' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'live with success around' is the wordplay.
'live with' becomes 'be' (synonyms. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'success' becomes 'luck'.
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'be' placed into 'luck' is 'LUBECK'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lubeck that I've seen before include "on the German coast" , "Cause anxiety to" , "German Baltic port" , "Baltic Hanseatic port" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
