Museum at the Stone Gate

● Anklam

The Museum im Steintor has a history spanning more than 90 years. It is the oldest museum of local history between Greifswald and Szczecin. The only surviving city gate of Anklam’s fortifications is also the tallest Brick Gothic city gate in Pomerania and ranks among the most beautiful in northern Germany. Since 1989, the Anklam City Museum has been housed in one of the Hanseatic city’s oldest buildings, the Steintor. The five floors of this medieval building feature sections of the permanent exhibition showcasing artifacts that document the history of the Hanseatic city and life along the Peene River. Special exhibitions and events, along with a magnificent view of the Peene Valley and the Hanseatic city, make a visit to the museum worthwhile in every season. If you are over 70 years old, you can climb the 111 steps to the fifth floor of the Steintor and sign the museum’s summit logbook. On the fifth floor of the 32-meter-high city gate, you can enjoy the view of the city and the Peene Valley. Sections of the permanent exhibition include “Slavs and Vikings on the Peene,” “Anklam and the Hanseatic League,” and “Anklam from 1933 to 1949.” Among the museum’s highlights is the coin hoard discovered in 1995. This is the largest silver hoard from the Thirty Years’ War period found in Pomerania. The museum also houses an archive and a library dedicated to local and regional history. With advance registration, visitors can take guided tours of the museum and city walking tours focusing on specific topics in Anklam’s history. These tours also include a visit to St. Nicholas Church.

Nikolai Church Anklam

● Anklam

The Nikolai Church in the center of the Hanseatic city of Anklam, very close to the Peene River, is one of the few surviving witnesses to the brick Gothic style from the 750 years since Anklam was founded. The gallery of "Hanseatic coat of arms windows" in the Nikolaikirche is a unique monument in Europe. The Nikolaikirche was built in honor of Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of sailors, fishermen and merchants in Gothic-Hanseatic architecture and was completed in the second half of the 15th century. The church had been the city's landmark for centuries and a symbol of the freedom and prosperity of the Hanseatic citizens. The 103 m high church tower - once a pilot's mark - greeted sailors from far away on the Oderhaff. During the bombing of Anklam at the end of the Second World War, the church was completely destroyed apart from the surrounding walls. In 1994, the Friends of St. Nicholas' Church Anklam e. V. was founded to prevent the impending decay. Since 1995, the church has been gradually rebuilt. The building was already open to the public again in 1999. Today, the former baptistery is Lilienthal's exhibition and event venue. Changing exhibitions are dedicated to the "dream of flight" and the son of the Hanseatic city of Anklam, Otto Lilienthal. The church tower is now accessible again and leads to the highest vantage point in the town. From there, the Peene Valley can be admired in all its beauty. In the future, the "Ikareum" project, an event and visitor center connected to the Otto Lilienthal Museum, is to be realized in the church. The Nikolaikirche Anklam is open from May to October. The Otto Lilienthal Museum also offers guided tours of the church.

Regio - The regional store Anklam

● Anklam

Regional...first choice. Range of regional products that are produced and refined in the immediate vicinity of Anklam. The Regionalladen Anklam offers a wide range of regional products from the immediate vicinity of Anklam. Not only can you shop here, but you can also enjoy fresh coffee, delicious cakes and snacks. It's well worth a visit! There are many reasons why it is worth buying regional products. Here are some important points: - The transportation routes of regional food are shorter. This in turn saves a lot of CO2 compared to imported products that have to travel long distances. - Some products also need to be refrigerated during transportation. The shorter the distances, the lower the energy consumption. - Short transportation routes also mean more freshness. The time between harvest and sale is significantly shorter than for imported goods. Taste is also an important aspect of fruit and vegetables. Fruit and vegetables are usually harvested unripe so that they can withstand long transportation routes. The situation is different with regional, seasonal fruit and vegetables. The shorter transportation routes mean they can be harvested when ripe. This makes the fruit and vegetables taste much more intense. - Buying regional food also supports the local economy.

Schwedenmühle, Anklam

● Anklam

The Schwedenmühle Anklam, a historic Dutch-style windmill built in 1726, has been undergoing restoration by the Schwedenmühle Anklam e.V. association since 2006. Discover a unique gathering place steeped in history. The Anklam Swedish Mill, built in 1726, is one of the oldest Dutch-style windmills in the region and tells a long and eventful story. It is located on the Peenedamm, which was under Swedish rule until 1815, while Anklam was Prussian. Originally leased by miller Christian Pape, the mill soon became a regional landmark and even housed a courtroom that was used during the period of Swedish rule. In 1872, Hermann Wessel modernized the mill and introduced innovative technologies. In 1880, a wind vane was installed that automatically turned the mill cap into the wind, which made the work considerably easier. Later, sails with louvers were added to better control the wind. However, in 1922 the windmill was finally shut down, and by 1958 the sails and the mill cap had disappeared due to disrepair. The mill was inhabited by the family of the last miller until 2003. After years of decay, the Schwedenmühle Anklam e.V. association was founded in 2006 to save the historic mill. With the support of donations and historic preservation funds, emergency stabilization of the mill began. In 2008, the first stabilization work was carried out, and the dry rot infestation was eliminated. Thanks to dedicated volunteers, such as the Vetter family, who donated two linden trees, and the Hagemann company, which planted them, the mill’s historic appearance was partially restored. In 2015, donations and grants made it possible to renovate the mill tower. Today, the association strives to develop the mill into a meeting place for locals and visitors alike. The Anklam Swedish Mill is an impressive testament to mill history and a place of cultural exchange.

In 1949, the curtain rose at the Anklam Theater on *Iphigenia in Tauris*, which opened the very first season of the small theater in the Schützenhaus.
