Rostock

Rostock occupies the lower reaches of the Warnow River in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, just inland from Germany’s Baltic Sea coast. A historic Hanseatic port, it combines a working harbour and maritime industry with a centre shaped by Brick Gothic: St Mary’s Church and the Town Hall on Neuer Markt are among its principal landmarks. Founded in 1419, the University of Rostock is one of northern Europe’s oldest universities and gives the city a lively academic presence. The seaside district of Warnemünde, at the Warnow’s mouth, links urban Rostock to the Baltic shore.
