Pflegeresidenz Rose is located in a building that first opened as the Friedrich-Franz-Bahnhof in 1850. Initially the first railway station in the Hanseatic city of Rostock, it lost significance with the construction of the current main station. Passenger services were discontinued in 1905, and it served as a freight station until 1996, after which the railway facilities were dismantled. Today, the residence accommodates 46 residents.

Guided Story

Imagine standing in front of a place that once opened the world to this city. Just behind you, not too far, is the Kuhtor, one of Rostock's oldest city gates. In 1850, a new chapter began here with the opening of the Friedrich-Franz-Bahnhof, Rostock's very first train station. Picture the travelers who started their journeys to faraway places or returned home through these doors. Look closely at the façade, which still holds the elegance of its era. Over time, this building has served many purposes, from a bustling passenger station to a freight depot. Today, it quietly shares its stories, inviting you to feel the echoes of the past.
