A themed walking tour of Rostock's Old Town

Most of the city’s streets were bustling. People lived and worked here, selling their goods or services—including to the major merchants. Their long-distance trade made the city great, powerful, and wealthy, as evidenced by the magnificent townhouses and stately churches—expressions of their faith—as well as the Hanseatic cogs in the harbor. But the wealth of some led to the poverty of others. This also gave rise to conflicts.

 

Martin Eilitz guides visitors through some of these streets and explains that bygone world.

The approximately 90-minute tour costs 5 euros (reduced rate: 4 euros) per person.

The meeting point is the Kröpeliner Tor.
