Museum harbor Greifswald

📍 Greifswald

Gaff-rigged ketch and schooner, seaquat and ram ship, cruiser and dinghy - around 45 old ships characterize the image of the museum harbour in Greifswald, which was founded in 1991 following the example of the museum harbours in Flensburg and Hamburg. This was the Hanseatic city's response to the increased interest in historic ships and traditional seamanship. As part of the old city harbour, the museum harbour stretches from the Steinbeck Bridge to the old granary and characterizes the maritime flair of the Hanseatic city. The oldest ship that visitors can admire in the museum harbour is the Zeesboot "Pommerland" from 1880. www.museumshafen-greifswald.de lists all the ships moored here. 15 of them offer excursions and sailing trips. You can also take part in the annual gaff rigging. By the way: The Greifswald Museum Harbour Association also organizes group tours of the museum harbour and the museum shipyard, where old ships are restored, on request.

Maidens' Fountain

📍 Stralsund

The "Mägdebrunnen" was recreated in 2003 by the German sculptor Günter Kaden on the site of a historic fountain. Its design details have repeatedly inspired various interpretations. Here, where Schillstraße flows into Fährstraße in the direction of the harbor, a fountain "am Schilde" stood for centuries to supply the surrounding population with water. It was the task of the maidservants to fetch the water from the well and carry it to the patrician houses. The sculptor Günter Kaden took up this theme as part of an urban planning competition, won the competition and designed the fountain from a block of granite with a group of bronze figures in 2003. The bronze figures show three maids fetching water and whispering to each other.

Minster Bad Doberan

The Cistercian monastery church from the 13th century has the richest medieval interior of any Cistercian church in Europe. On the "European Route of Brick Gothic" in north-eastern Germany, near the old Hanseatic city of Rostock, lies Bad Doberan Minster, the high Gothic church of the former Cistercian monastery built in the late 13th century. Founded in 1171, the monastery was the first monastery in Mecklenburg and the main burial place of the prince in the Middle Ages. Through its colonization activities, it was of great importance for the cultural and economic development of Mecklenburg and also became a center of Christian faith in the state. The special significance of the monastery was reflected in the construction and furnishings of the Gothic cathedral, which was built in the late 13th century. The interior decoration was largely spared the turmoil of war, iconoclasm and periods of renovation. No other Cistercian monastery church in Europe has preserved a richer original interior. The high altar, the oldest winged altar in art history (around 1300), the monumental rood screen cross altar (around 1360/70) and the tomb sculpture of the Danish Queen Margarete Sambiria (+1282) are noteworthy among the wealth of furnishings.
