Schelpbrookkulturhof Schwaan - art between Africa and Japan
The Schelpbrookkulturhof in Schwaan, a small town south of Rostock in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, is home to an extraordinary gallery with international appeal. Two artists show works here that have grown out of very different journeys and encounters with foreign cultures - and which together create a coherent, cosmopolitan overall picture.
Ceramic installations inspired by the Maasai
Ramona Ponomarew-John, born in Schönberg/Mecklenburg and living in Plüschow, draws on her close connection to the Maasai ethnic group in Tanzania. Multiple stays in Africa as well as school projects on racism and fair trade are reflected in her ceramic sculptures, which translate Maasai sculptures and paintings into three-dimensional installations.
Japanese Suibokuga ink painting from Kyoto and BarbizonKarl-Michael Constin, born in Bützow and at home in Jürgenshagen, studied calligraphy, ikebana and traditional Suibokuga ink painting during a one-year stay in Kyoto. As a master student of Professor Heinrich Radloff, he is showing ink drawings in the gallery that were created during a stay in Barbizon, France - works that combine Eastern painting tradition and Western landscape.
Schwaan as an art destination in the Baltic Sea region
Schwaan is conveniently located between Rostock and Güstrow and can be easily combined with a trip along the Mecklenburg Baltic coast - for example to Rostock, Fischland-Darß-Zingst or the Hanseatic city of Wismar. The Schelpbrookkulturhof offers a cultural contrast to the coastal landscape and invites you to pause and reflect.

Factory outlet of Schwaan fish products
📍 Schwaan
Fish delicacies have been produced in Schwaan for more than 100 years. The use of only high-quality ingredients is just as self-evident as the know-how of our employees. What goes into our tins has a long tradition and is constantly reinvented for you. We love herring. Herring fillet and herring fillet bites are the classics of fish delicatessen and are still produced according to traditional recipes. In sauces and creams or in jelly, with onions, seasoned with dill, exotic with curry or with a spicy chilli note, this perennial favorite simply never goes out of fashion. Our fried fish tastes so fresh because it "swims" from the pan straight into the tin. There, the herring and mackerel have time to develop their hearty fried flavor in a mildly sour marinade. It's not just delicatessen salads that roll off the production line at Schwaaner Fischwaren GmbH. Our ready-made fish soups such as Rostock fish solyanka or Mecklenburg fish pot are also very popular. Anyone looking for a change from soups and salads would be well advised to try our spreads, as our fish also makes a great spread. As fried fish paste, for example, with the hearty taste of our traditional recipe. Or as salmon pâté, with a subtle hint of lemon to bring a smile to the face of every gourmet. You can find out how many different creations these tasty sea creatures are available in by visiting our factory outlet. Our staff will be happy to advise you.
