Map of Rostock

Many tourists visit it mainly because of the beautiful, white sand beach Warnemünde come to Rostock. But the Warnemünder Woche and the Hansesail also attract around 1 million visitors to Rostock each year. The lower course of the Warnow meanders through the city like a wide ribbon, creating a natural harbor that gives Rostock its maritime flair.

The visitor encounters traces of the old Hanseatic era everywhere. The imposing brick Gothic churches and the proud merchants' houses shape Rostock's soul with their history, although the city was never the capital of Mecklenburg but always its most powerful and progressive municipality. At the time of the Hanseatic League, Rostock grew particularly quickly. A grid-like street network was created, large markets near the harbor, wide main streets and mighty ramparts, bridges, walls and gates. Up to 370 ships once sailed under the Rostock flag. The Rostock port, which is important today for ferry traffic and cargo handling, and the largest German cruise port in Warnemünde are located in the city. Rostock is surrounded by the Rostock district, which forms the Rostock regiopole region. The aircraft factories Arado and Heinkel, established in the 1920s, made Rostock a target of the aerial warfare in World War II. After the war, not only large companies (Heinkel, Arado, Kröger boatyard) were subject to dismantling by the occupying forces, but also numerous medium-sized companies. In 1949, the reconstruction of the almost completely destroyed urban area between Marienkirche and Grubenstrasse began, whereby the historic streets were only partially reconstructed. After 1990 the Rostock economy changed considerably. The importance of the shipbuilding industry declined sharply. Many new jobs were created in tourism.

Today ships and the city harbor strolling mile, the brick Gothic and merchant houses represent the typical Hanseatic coastal flair of Rostock and Warnemünde. The Rostock Council founded Northern Europe's first university in 1419 with a papal blessing. Over 14,000 students are currently studying at the Alma Mater. Several scientists brought Nobel Prizes to Rostock. Albert Einstein owes his first honorary doctorate to the university.
