City information Loitz

City information Loitz

Loitz

The Loitz town information office is located in the town hall on the market square right in the town center. Over 750 years old, there was originally only a Slavic settlement here on the Peene, later the castle of Pomeranian princes stood there. Later there was even a ducal castle, which unfortunately did not survive the centuries and was completely destroyed in 1701. Instead, there are many other historic buildings, such as St. Mary's Church from the 13th century or the Stone Gate. Also worth seeing is the old town, which was essentially built in the late Middle Ages in the half-timbered style.

The town church of St. Nikolai is located in Gützkow in Western Pomerania. It has a neo-Gothic interior. The fieldstone church in Gützkow was first mentioned in a document in 1241. However, today's church square was a religious site even earlier. There was a pagan temple here, which had to make way for a church building consecrated by Bishop Otto von Bamberg in 1128. The town church was badly damaged in a fire in the 18th century and was rebuilt and restored in the following decades. The church has a neo-Gothic interior. There are stained glass windows in the choir, which depict Martin Luther, Otto von Bamberg, the blessing Christ, Nicholas of Myra and the apostles Peter and Paul, among others.

City wall

City wall

Stralsund

Large parts of the 700-year-old town wall are still preserved and have been continuously restored over the last few decades. Compared to other medieval towns, Stralsund still has large sections of the town wall. In the 13th century, the fortifications still consisted of piles. However, it was quickly replaced by a stone wall with towers and battlements in the 14th century. The section of the town wall between the former Hospitaler Tor gate and the Kütertor gate, which still exists today, was restored in the 1960s. The battlement walkways and the Wiekhäuser are also still preserved here. Two of the former ten gates still exist - the Kniepertor, mentioned in a document as early as 1293 and now used as an original dwelling, and the aforementioned Kütertor. The latter was built in 1446 and is sparsely structured with blinds on both sides. A tent roof with a lantern and steep helmet forms the end.

City forest

City forest

Stralsund

The Stralsund city forest - a city forest on the moor pond. The Stralsund city forest is primarily used for recreation, to improve the quality of life in the city, to supply the citizens with wood and, of course, for nature conservation. It is an attractive green belt within the city, covers almost 50 hectares of water and land and was originally a ground moraine. This is why a layer of peat up to seven meters thick still rests under the moor pond today. The very nutrient-rich and moist soil favors the growth of plants such as reed beds and silver willows. Many different paths and trails lead through the wooded area, which extends north to southwest around the moor pond. This means that a walk around the moor pond is always a walk through the forest.

The "Teufelsstein" megalithic tomb is located not far from the "Hüningsbusch" megalithic tomb near Seelvitz. Near the “Hüningsbusch” megalithic tomb lies the “Teufelsstein” megalithic tomb. The tomb, which has a severely disturbed burial chamber, belongs to the group of large dolmens with a vestibule typical of Rügen. On the clay soil—which in turn lay on a bed of pigeon-egg-sized flint pebbles—sections composed of individual stone slabs set vertically were identified. Only a few Neolithic finds, such as two hand millstones, some pottery, and an amber bead, were recovered from the burial chamber. A sandstone grinding slab was used as a threshold stone. Another distinctive feature is the three small bowls attached to the surface of the keystone.
