Greifswald

Greifswald combines a compact Hanseatic old town with a maritime Baltic setting in a way that reflects its position on the Ryck River near the Greifswalder Bodden. Brick Gothic architecture gives the centre a distinctly northern German character, with St. Nikolai Cathedral rising above its streets. The University of Greifswald, founded in 1456, is among Germany’s oldest universities and remains central to the city’s identity. Romantic painter Caspar David Friedrich was born here in 1774, linking Greifswald to one of Germany’s defining artistic movements.
