Wallanlagen
A tranquil green escape in the heart of Rostock
Did you know?
During the heyday of Rostock's city fortifications in the 13th century, there were over 20 city gates leading either into the Mecklenburg hinterland or to the city harbor.
Guided Story
Imagine standing on a piece of history, a place where the past breathes its stories into the present. Look up past the treetops and picture the city wall that once protected Rostock. Feel the gentle breeze; it's almost like the old city gates are whispering tales of merchants and travelers who passed through. Behind you, the Holy Cross Monastery stands as a silent witness to the centuries. Today, these Wallanlagen offer peace, but once, they were part of the city's defenses. Sit on a bench and watch how the light dances through the leaves, as you ponder how the city has transformed over the ages. It's a perfect spot to feel the blend of nature and history.
