Greifswald - Marktplatz 3 - The market place

Greifswald is a very old town and gained city rights as early as 1240. In 1278, Greifswald became a part of the Hanseatic League and in 1456 and the university was founded. From 1648 to 1815, Greifswald was a part of Sweden's northern German territories. Following the Second World War and the town became a part of the Soviet occupation zone. The town fared rather well during and after the war, but during the Soviet and East German reign and the economy and infrastructure declined. Following reunification, huge sums of money have been pumped into the area to help improve the situation and lower the unemployment rates.
