Greifswald-Wieck Parish Church
Concerts for the Greifswald Bach Week are held at the parish church in Greifswald-Wieck.
A church in Wieck was first mentioned in historical records in the 13th century. However, it was not located on the current church square, but in the center of the village. After another church building was rendered unusable by storm surge damage, the new construction—which had been postponed several times—was finally completed at the end of the 19th century. The Neo-Romanesque church was finished in 1883. Inside the church, the Mehmel organ, the pulpit, and the model ships—which evoke the seafaring tradition that shaped the town of Wieck for centuries—are worth seeing.
Greifswald-Wieck Parish Church – History Since the 13th Century
The Greifswald-Wieck Parish Church is one of the most remarkable religious buildings in Greifswald and looks back on an eventful history. A church in Wieck was first mentioned in historical records in the 13th century, though at that time it was still located in the center of the village. After a later church building was rendered unusable by storm surge damage, a new structure was finally built at the end of the 19th century: The Neo-Romanesque church was completed in 1883 and has since shaped the townscape of the picturesque fishing village of Wieck on the Greifswald Bodden coast.
Mehmel organ, pulpit, and ship models inside the church
Inside the parish church of Greifswald-Wieck, several details are particularly noteworthy: The Mehmel organ attracts music lovers just as much as the ornate pulpit. Particularly impressive are the ship models on display, which recall the centuries-old seafaring tradition of Wieck—a fishing village that, like many communities along the Baltic Sea coast of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, was closely connected to the sea.
Greifswald Bach Week – Concerts in the Wieck Church
The Wieck parish church is also culturally significant: it is one of the venues for the renowned Greifswald Bach Week, during which classical concerts take place in a historic setting. Visitors to the region around Greifswald, Rügen, or Fischland-Darß-Zingst will find an authentic and atmospheric place here, away from the tourist mainstream.
Other attractions in Greifswald
Caspar David Friedrich Center
● Greifswald
The Caspar-David-Friedrich-Zentrum, opened in 2004 in the historic Seifensiederei and expanded in 2011 to include the entire former residential and commercial building of the Friedrich family, commemorates the great painter and greatest son of the city of Greifswald. It is also a museum, documentation and research center. Caspar David Friedrich was born here on September 5, 1774. Visitors can see his father's old soap-making workshop, the family cabinet with the family tree, the Rügen and Eldena rooms with famous motifs from Friedrich's work and the Caspar David Friedrich Gallery. The tour offers comprehensive information on Friedrich's origins, career and creative style as well as on the history of the Friedrich family and their home and business premises, which is also the subject of a long-term research project by the Caspar David Friedrich Society. Changing exhibitions of contemporary art in the Caspar David Friedrich Gallery bear witness to the enduring fascination and impact of Friedrich's work and historical Romanticism. Thanks to its location in the heart of Greifswald's old town, the center is a particularly attractive destination for anyone who wants to follow in the artist's footsteps in his hometown. In the immediate vicinity is St. Nikolai Cathedral, where Caspar David Friedrich was baptized, and it is only a few minutes' walk to the Pomeranian State Museum with its original Friedrich paintings.

Church of St. Jacobi Greifswald
● Greifswald
St. Jacob's Church, dedicated to the patron saint of fishermen, was first mentioned by name in 1280. The brick church consists of a three-aisled hall and the somewhat narrower square west tower. Until a fire in 1955, the originally taller tower still had a half-timbered top, which was not restored when the tower roof was reconstructed.
