Old town model in Rostock city center - the Baltic Sea city you can touch

A special object stands behind the famous St. Mary's Church in Rostock: the bronze Old Town model of Rostock's city center on the Baltic Sea provides a tangible overview of the historic city center. Visitors to Rostock can literally feel how the city is laid out - without a map or city plan

Accessible orientation with braille and tactile markings

The model is particularly well thought out: Labels in braille make it usable for blind and visually impaired people, and your own location is marked by a tactile sphere. The Old Town model thus offers a valuable orientation aid - not only for people with visual impairments, but for all visitors who want to get a first spatial impression of Rostock.

Rostock - gateway to the Baltic Sea in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern

Rostock is the largest city in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and an ideal starting point for excursions to the Baltic Sea coast. Destinations such as Fischland-Darß-Zingst, Stralsund and the island of Rügen are easily accessible from here. The Old Town model invites you to pause for a moment before your next trip to the coast - and get to know the city with your hands.
