About Rostock

Rostock is an old Hanseatic port on Germany's Baltic coast, with brick Gothic churches, a historic university and the beach resort of Warnemünde.

Rostock grew rich as a Hanseatic trading port on the Warnow river, and its university, founded in 1419, is among the oldest in northern Europe. The brick Gothic Marienkirche holds an astronomical clock from 1472 that still keeps time. The Neuer Markt is dominated by the town hall, whose seven slender turrets rise above a baroque front, and the Kröpeliner Tor is a medieval gate at the end of the pedestrian street.
