Rostock

Rostock is the largest city in the German state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, though not its capital. It is a hub for Baltic Sea ferries, Germany's largest port for cruise ships by number of boardings and pleasant enough for a longer stay mostly due to its Hanseatic League|Hanseatic legacy.

Rostock is near the Baltic Sea and to protect its fishing and access rights it annexed Warnemünde (named for being the mouth of the river Warnow), a port area to the north. Rostock was an important member of the Hanseatic League, and one of the most important ports of the GDR (East Germany). Until the collapse of the East German economy in 1989/90 Rostock was a major center for shipbuilding and a few shipyards still remain, despite their economic woes.

Book a Halal Cruise or Boat Tour in Rostock

DE_Rostock_Ferry_in_hafen - The ferry from Denmark arriving in the harbour

Rostock is one of the hubs for Baltic Sea ferries in Germany. And the busiest German port for cruises.

There is a ferry from Gedser in Denmark every second hour with Scandlines]. This connection covers a rather short stretch on the sea and has been suggested as an alternative to the Fehmarn Belt fixed link that is being built to link Putgarden and Rødby. Prior to European (and German) partition and there were also railway ferries along this route, but they have been moved to the aforementioned line between Fehmarn and Lolland in the 1950s and 1960s and didn't return with the fall of the Iron Curtain.

Ferry from Trelleborg in Sweden up to 6 departures per day with Stena Line or TT-Line].

Ferry from Helsinki in Finland twice a week with Finnlines].

From the ferry terminal, you need to take a series of buses to go to the center of Rostock. You can also try to head for the Rostock-North S-Bahn (train) station, about 1 kilometers away from the terminal. Therefore you may get stuck at the ferry port certain days when the bus services are low or if you can't find the train station. A taxi ride downtown will cost you around €20.

The passenger terminal in Warnemünde is used by cruise ships. It can be visited easily by train (10 minutes), by boat (1 hour) or taxi from central Rostock. All trains from Warnemünde stop in Rostock. The train station is an easy three minutes walk north along the dock.

What to see in Rostock

Warnemünde Altstadt (03) 2006-09-21 - Rostock has a lot of different architecture Teepott1 - Teepott1.jpg

• Warnemünde beach 54.1819, 12.0818 - Visit the sandy 3-km beach at Warnemünde in the north. Go swimming there, if the weather is warm enough.

• Petrikirche - St. Peter's Church | 54.090556, 12.148056 Opening Hours: Open from 10:00, closing time depends on the season (16:00 in winter, 18:00 May - September - consult website if unsure) St. Peter's Church, Rostock Petrikirche mit Stadtmauer-3 - Petrikirche boasts the tallest tower of the three remaining churches within the old town. The church itself can be visited for free (open daily, mind the Sunday service 11:00-12:00), but there is a small admission fee for the tower (€3, €2 reduced fee, family ticket €6). Climbing the steep spiral stairs is fun and a good exercise! There is also a barrier-free option: The parish has had the original bell shaft replaced by a lift which brings you up to the lower of the 2 platforms. Both offer good views over town, river and harbour. Many guided tours of Rostock also start in front of the church. The parish has installed what is probably the only free public toilet in the old town (although it might be a nice idea to put some coins into the collection column inside the church), also barrier-free and accessible from the outside, to the left of the main entrance.

• Zoo - 18059 Rostock, Barnstorfer Ring 54.077901, 12.087054 - Rostock Zoo

• Warnemünde Lighthouse 54.1814, 12.0858 near the beach promenade - Warnemünde Lighthouse Leuchtturm Warnemünde 2012 Built in 1897 and still in use. The view from the high tower provides an impressive view of the Baltic Sea and nearby Rostock region.

• The Teapot - Teepott | 54.1817, 12.0856 Another famous landmark of the Warnemünde beach. It has a curved roof and is an interesting example of East German architecture.

• An old canal area in Warnemünde boast restaurants, pubs, and a fish market.

• St. Mary's Church Rostock - Marienkirche | - St. Mary's Church, Rostock - The greatest church of Rostock, a huge brick Gothic church, built from the 13th-15th century with an astronomical clock of 1472 and fine historical altars.

Best things to do in Rostock

• Stadthalle Rostock - 54.0775, 12.1258 The Stadthalle Rostock has many shows and music events.

• Hansa Rostock - F.C. Hansa Rostock The local professional soccer club.

• KTV | - The Kröpeliner-Tor-Vorstadt (KTV, "Kröpelin Gate Suburb") was the first part of Rostock built outside the medieval city walls, in the 2nd half of the 19th century. It was designed to house workers flocking to the newly industrialised town. Today's KTV is one of the most popular residential areas, especially with students and artists. It is here that you will find the highest density of cafes and small shops selling handicraft or organic food.
  To get to KTV from Rostock's main shopping street (Kröpeliner Straße), follow it all the way to the west, passing Kröpelin Gate and crossing the tram lines. Everything in front of you now is already part of KTV. Check out the Doberaner Platz, where most tram lines stop, where the best Halal döner Kebab is sold, and where everyone seems to meet before a pub crawl with friends.

• shipping tour on the Warnow |
• Stadtmauer - city walls - While much of Rostock's fortifications were removed on the "sea"side (towards the river Warnow), a large part of the city wall remains on the "land" side and is certainly worth a visit. You will encounter 3 remaining gates, Kröpeliner Tor, Steintor (stone gate) and the oldest, Kuhtor (cow gate). Guided Tours in Rostock by ehalal.io (email for prices) (some of them by a guide dressed up as a medieval night-watchman) are available and recommended for anyone interested in the history of the town. They can be booked under the stated link or in the tourist office. For the "night-watchman" tour, it is also feasible to simply turn up at Petrikirche at 20:00 if you're not with a large group, but the tour will then be in German only.

• Watch the sunset in the harbour - Take some drinks and food down and watch time pass by - as well as sailing boats, rowing boats, and plenty of seagulls. If it's herring season and the quay at the Silos will be full of fishermen. If you're not into bring-your-own and there is a number of restaurants along the quay, from (German), Italian and Greek to Spanish cuisine. The Irish Pub is also in the Silos. Between the theatre and Latino bar "Besitos", you will find plenty of young people playing "Kubb", at least during summer. Why not try it out yourself? If you ask nicely, you are sure to be allowed a shot. Or buy your own wooden kit at the games store "Wupatki", Rungestraße 17. BTW: This part of the harbour is usually called "Strand" (beach) by local residents, even if there is no sand within sight.

Muslim Friendly Shopping in Rostock

Rostock has a few so called border shops that are dedicated to selling consumer goods to tourists from Denmark and Sweden. The border shops are probably the best place in Germany to find Candies, soda, cider, drink and other things produced in Denmark and Sweden at lower prices than in their home market. This is due to the lower excise taxes in Germany, even though the gap is closing in. The deposit-refund systems in the three EU-countries are not compatible, so a proforma export declaration must be submitted and photo-ID must be presented when buying beverages that normally have a deposit paid in Germany. These deposit-refund exempt beverages are only permitted for export to Denmark and Sweden and will not be sold to Germans.
