Map ↗Schill memorial plaque
● Stralsund
This stone commemorates Ferdinand von Schill, a Prussian officer who fought against the French occupying forces in Stralsund. On May 25, 1809, Ferdinand von Schill rode into the town of Stralsund at the head of his regiment. A few days later, the freedom fighter fell here in Fährstraße, fatally shot by a bullet. On the night of May 31, 1835, his admirers embedded this memorial plaque in the pavement at the exact spot where Schill had fallen.

Wolgast Castle Island
● Wolgast
Former site of the ducal castle. The castle of the Dukes of Pomerania-Wolgast once stood on Wolgast Castle Island. During the Thirty Years’ War in the 17th century, a cannonball struck the castle’s powder tower, leaving only ruins behind, which were subsequently demolished in the 18th century. Some of the stones from the castle ruins were also used in the reconstruction following the great city fire. Today, the names “Schlossinsel” and “Schlossstraße,” as well as the information sign there explaining the castle and its history, serve as reminders of the former ducal castle.
Putbus Castle Church
● Putbus
The castle church in Putbus Park Until 1840, Putbus was part of the parish of Vilmnitz. In this year, the parish acquired its own parish registers and its own churchyard was consecrated. Putbus became an independent parish. Over time, the need to create a separate church building grew. Initially, the theater was to be converted into a church. However, as this plan met with resistance from the residents, the Kursalon in the park was converted into a church in 1891/92 - the upper galleries were removed and their windows moved inwards, and the open arcades to the dance hall were fitted with windows. The result was a three-aisled church. A church tower was erected in place of the northern extension, while the southern extension retained its shape. The church was consecrated on Reformation Day in 1892 and the bells rang for the first time on July 12, 1893. The castle church is impressively different from the brick churches typical of the island. It is flooded with light, with large arched windows opening onto the park. It forms an impressive ensemble with the neoclassical buildings in the park and in the adjacent streets.
Putbus Castle Park
● Putbus
Although Putbus Castle, once the stately home of the Princes of Putbus, was razed to the ground in 1962, the beautiful castle park is still a reminder of this magnificent time. Magnolias and sequoias adorn the English-style garden. The park was laid out in 1804 by the founder of the town, Wilhelm Malte I zu Putbus, originally in the French style. It was later developed in the style of an English landscape park. The classicist palace around which the park was laid out was unfortunately demolished in the 1960s. The orangery, the stables, the mausoleum, the parish church and the castle church as well as the monkey and bird house are still preserved. Then as now, Putbus is not only famous for its castle and circus, but also for its scenic surroundings. It is not surprising that even Caspar David Friedrich visited the Putbus region. He incorporated the impressions he gained into his paintings "A View of Putbus" and "Landscape with Rainbow", for example.
Lesser spotted eagle course
● Schuenhagen
on the grounds of the Schuenhagen forestry office On the grounds of the Schuenhagen Forestry Office, visitors can learn on the lesser spotted eagle trail what habitat the lesser spotted eagle needs, how to recognize it in the sky and what long journey the eagle makes to its wintering grounds in Africa. Or simply go in search of the eagle yourself! With the help of installed binoculars, children can do this from April to September. The trail is free of charge, freely accessible all year round and designed to be exciting for children and adults alike. You are also welcome to take part in guided tours. Since 2022, there has also been a new nature trail to discover behind the forestry office. In the so-called "Müß" - a natural forest that is left to develop naturally - a path with 7 different stations leads through the world of tree species. The Schuenhagen forestry office, which covers an area of almost 20,000 hectares and is located between Ribnitz-Damgarten and Stralsund, is home to a significant number of lesser spotted eagles throughout Germany. Germany's smallest eagle still feels at home in the dense forests of the "Nordvorpommersche Waldlandschaft". Here it can raise its young in peace and catch mice and frogs in the surrounding meadows. The Schuenhagen Forestry Office has been supporting the chance.natur project "Nordvorpommersche Waldlandschaft" (North West Pomeranian Forest Landscape) from the very beginning, which has set itself the task of preserving this special animal species and protecting its habitat. There is a lot to discover on the grounds of the historic forestry office!

The nutrient-poor lake belongs to a very rare type of water body, the so-called kettle lake. Intermediate moorland and raised bogs form around the edges. In part, there is oscillating blanket vegetation. Cotton grass, peat moss, cranberry, feverfew and rosemary heather can be found here. The entire lake, the existing moors at the edge and a 100-metre-wide strip of forest surrounding the lake are designated as a core zone (total reserve) of the South-East Rügen Biosphere Reserve. However, the lake is accessible to hikers and cyclists via the hiking trail leading from Binz to Sellin. You can reach the lake via a small wooden footbridge.

The Greif Training Ship
● Greifswald
Experience this historic schooner-brig on a day cruise or a multi-day voyage across the Baltic Sea, following in the footsteps of the Hanseatic League! The steel two-masted vessel with its characteristic square sails was built in 1951 at the Warnow Shipyard in Warnemünde and commissioned under the name “Wilhelm Pieck.” Until 1990, it served as the flagship of the GST Naval School in Greifswald-Wieck and conducted training voyages for young sailors. After the political transition, the ship was completely overhauled and converted. Since then, it has been owned and operated by the Greif Maritime Sports Center, a municipal enterprise of the University and Hanseatic City of Greifswald. Under the name “GREIF,” it sails as a civilian training ship with volunteer and paying crew members, calling at the most beautiful ports in the North and Baltic Seas from April through October: Ystad, Copenhagen, Klaipeda, Gdańsk, and other destinations are on the itinerary every year. A sail area of 570 m², distributed across 15 sails, allows for a speed of up to 14 knots. The ship is equipped according to the latest safety regulations and holds a sailing license as a training ship. It is sailed jointly by a professional core crew and volunteer crew members from the "Rahsegler GREIF e.V." support association. If you’re looking for a special experience, the “GREIF” is the place for you. By the way, no prior experience is necessary: the team’s experienced crew members introduce new sailors to traditional seamanship step by step. Welcome aboard!
Wieck Sailing and Fishing Harbor
● Greifswald
Wieck is one of the oldest fishing villages in northern Germany and has close ties to the monastery in Eldena. Even back then, the fishing port on the Ryck River served as an important outer harbor for the city of Greifswald. The historic fishing village of Wieck is located directly on the Greifswald Bodden. The village’s landmark is the Wieck bascule bridge, built in the Dutch style. Fishing, in particular, is still very much a part of life here. Whether it’s fish sandwiches, typical regional fish dishes, or more unusual creations—food lovers will find a wide array of culinary delights. Along the Ryck River, which flows into the Bodden here, numerous fishing boats, yachts, and sailboats are moored, underscoring the town’s maritime charm. The beautiful promenade, where you’ll find wooden sculptures by international and local artists, and the direct beachfront location also invite you to take long walks. As a district of the Hanseatic city of Greifswald, there are also numerous entertainment options and places to visit beyond the fishing village itself.

The materials used are primarily steel and wood. Some of the sculptures weigh as much as 20 tons and reach a height of 18 meters. Viewers are treated to a fascinating harmony between the high sky, the vast landscape, and the sculptures—an unusual contrast to the high sky and the vast landscape in which they stand. The park is both an art venue and part of the landscape. Here, contemporary art becomes an immediate experience. Benches designed by artists are placed at prominent points. A walk-through sound funnel over a pond invites contemplation.""Two Brains Are Better Than One," "Big TAM TAM," "Sensory Overload"—over 100 sculptures by renowned artists from Germany and abroad can be discovered on a stroll through the sculpture park.The founder of the sculpture park is the sculptor Thomas Radeloff, who placed his first “Three Figures” on the meadow in 1991. The idea grew into a viable concept. In 1992, the 1st International Sculpture Workshop took place, which became a regular event and has since enriched the sculpture park annually with several sculptures by domestic and international artists. The Art Barn, created in 1994/95 from the ruins of a dilapidated barn, features 600 m² of exhibition space, a workshop, a hall-like gallery with an open roof truss where up to six exhibitions are held annually, a unique gallery café with a shop, and four guest rooms designed by artists. In addition to paintings, sculptures, and ceramics, a small park guide is also available in the shop. Various workshops and courses are offered, including painting classes. In the spring and late fall, the traditional Easter and Christmas markets take place. With approximately 50 stalls and a pig on a spit, the sculpture park then becomes a popular destination with a festive atmosphere.
Skutsje "Twee Gebroeders" - Sailing tours
● Wolgast
The crew of the "Twee Gebroeders" invites you to enjoy culinary delights under sail with regional specialties. On a small Frisian cargo ship from 1901, guests can unwind in a relaxed atmosphere, listen to the wind and observe nature from a very special perspective. Skûtsjesegeln is sailing with old cargo ships. A skûtsje is a sailing ship without a keel, i.e. a ship with a flat bottom and wooden centerboards on the sides. These ships date back to the last century and were used to bring peat, vegetables, flower bulbs or other cargo as close as possible to the farms or to pick it up from there. The ships had to be able to navigate in shallow waters and were therefore designed to be long and flat. A skûtsje is characterized by speed and manoeuvrability. Sailing on a skûtsje is fun and relaxing. Sailing tours with the Dutch flat-bottomed ship (skûtsje): - max. 12 persons - from 3 hours - Culinary part with smoked fish - On request for groups - Cruising areas in Western Pomerania: Achterwasser, lagoon and Bodden waters
Slavic castle rampart Garz
● Garz
The Garz castle rampart is a reminder of the former settlement by Slavs. The hill fort, which was built in the middle of the 12th century, underwent several test excavations and sondages from as early as 1725, which brought Slavic pottery and a large number of iron finds to light. The excavation results, as well as written records, prove that the West Slavic Rans had a princely seat here. However, this castle, built as a wood-and-earth construction, is far less important than the Karenz temple castle near Venz. It was not until around 1300 that Garz, as a princely seat and young town, gained more power and influence on the island of Rügen through the re-erection of a castle on the site of the former Slavic rampart.

Storage Facility on Katharinenberg
● Stralsund
The SPEICHER is an eco-sociocultural center in Stralsund’s Old Town. The SPEICHER on Katharinenberg in Stralsund is a place for EVERYONE. Inclusion means that every person naturally belongs here. Appearance, social background, language, disabilities, age, and gender do not matter. At the playing card factory, for example, it’s clear how apprentices, participants in entry-level training programs, those performing community service, and workshop staff work and learn together. The facility also serves as a placement site for two Federal Volunteer Service participants. This diversity is not immediately apparent to visitors to the museum workshop and the building. That is inclusion. Through networking with other users in the building, the Old Town, and the outlying neighborhoods of Grünhufe and Knieper West, the SPEICHER is an important, open, and accessible cultural hub in the city. On the ground floor of the brick building of an old steam mill, alongside the playing card factory’s machinery weighing several metric tons, there is a museum workshop where the cultural heritage of letterpress printing is actively kept alive. Work is carried out daily on the typesetting cabinets with their lead type, the Linotype typesetting machine, and the Heidelberg cylinder printing press. The playing card factory thus serves as a career orientation program for those seeking entry-level qualifications and as a support for the apprenticeships of our two future media designers, who are being trained in partnership with two Stralsund-based companies. It also serves as a workspace for the youth workshop run by our youth social work program. Thus, the facility—which is funded by the city—is clearly aligned with the “Printing and Socioculture” program.
Greifswald Floodgate
● Greifswald
The Greifswald floodgate is located in the cross-section of the Ryck federal waterway at its mouth into the “Dänische Wiek” in the Greifswald-Wieck district. It is an integral part of the flood protection system for the university and Hanseatic city of Greifswald. The Ryck, which is about four meters deep, is approximately 60 meters wide at this point and serves as the access channel to the city harbor of Greifswald. The primary purpose of the largest technical coastal protection structure on the German Baltic Sea coast is to provide protection against flooding during storm surges while preserving the brackish-water-dependent biotopes in the Ryck lowlands. A structure was developed that strikes an optimal balance between safety, functionality, urban aesthetic appeal, and cost.

St. Bartholomew's Church
● Demmin
Even from a distance, the tower of St. Bartholomaei Church in the Hanseatic city of Demmin greets visitors. Construction of the church began in the late 13th or early 14th century. The brick building was redesigned in 1867 by none other than the Prussian architect Friedrich August Stüler. With a tower nearly 100 meters high, the church is one of the largest city churches in the Western Pomerania region. Its name derives from Bartholomew, a disciple of Jesus—also known as Nathanael in the New Testament—who was venerated by immigrant settlers as the patron saint of their guilds. The interior of the three-nave hall church is unusually bright and is currently being restored according to Stüler’s 1867 plans. Notable features inside include Neo-Gothic frescoes and stained-glass windows depicting scenes from the Night of St. Bartholomew. Upon entering, visitors’ attention is drawn to life-size plaster sculptures in the choir area as well as the Stüler pulpit. The pulpit was modeled after the shape of the stone tower and features five statues: those of Bishop Otto of Bamberg, the Pomeranian Duke Wartislaw I, Alwinius (the church’s first priest), Martin Luther, and Johannes Bugenhagen. A permanent exhibition tells the story of Otto von Bamberg—who stopped in Demmin—and his missionary journey. In 2011, the church celebrated the tenth anniversary of the Buchholz organ.
St. Peter's Church
● Wolgast
St. Petri Church is the former court church of the Dukes of Pomerania-Wolgast. The 14th-century three-nave basilica served as the court church of the Dukes of Pomerania-Wolgast. It was built around 1350 in honor of the Apostle Peter. A pagan temple is said to have originally stood on the same site, which Otto of Bamberg had destroyed during the Christianization of Pomerania. Today, the burial site of the last Dukes of Pomerania is located in the crypt of St. Petri, and the nave features a medieval cycle of paintings depicting the Dance of Death. There are 184 steps leading up to the tower of St. Petri Church, which can be climbed during the church’s opening hours. From the top, a wonderful panoramic view stretches across the city of Wolgast all the way to the island of Usedom.
