Explore Wismar

Thanks to its nearly unchanged medieval town structure and well-preserved harbour basin, Wismar was jointly inscribed with Stralsund on UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 2002. Several monumental examples of religious architecture complete the historic ensemble. Wismar also offers many traces of the Hanseatic League with its unique history.

The exact location

The Hanseatic city of Wismar is located on the Baltic Sea, directly on the Bay of Wismar. Shipbuilding, wood processing, photovoltaic technology and tourism are the main industries in this lively city today. Thanks to its seaport, an increasing number of cruise ships are anchored here. Wismar also was home to the legendary and notorious pirate Klaus Störtebeker.

On the tracks of Nosferatus

In Wismar large parts of the first horror movie ever were shot. In 1922 the shooting for "Nosferatu - Eine Symphonie des Grauens" began. Although the shooting was long ago, you will still find many film locations unchanged in the Hanseatic city. Right in the first scene the “Wasserkunst” has its appearance on the market place. The shot was filmed from the "Murnau Window" from the tower of the Marienkirche. Baron Orlok lands in Wismar harbor at night, walks past the St. Georgen Church and several times through the inner courtyard of the Holy Spirit Church. Can you find the memorial plaque for the film?
Hanse Sektkellerei Wismar

Selected sparkling wines can be tasted regularly at the tasting sessions in the cellar sales. Please ask for dates directly on site or at the reception. It is the northernmost sparkling wine cellar in Germany.
A stroll through the UNESCO World Heritage site

With its red brick churches and impressive market square lined with restored townhouses, Wismar has one of the best-preserved medieval city centres in Germany. Before exploring the World Heritage city on your own, visit the free exhibition at World Heritage House, complete with artefacts and stories about the city.
Around the market square

The one-hectare market square is home to many elegant buildings with historic façades, including your hotel. Also of note is the famous Alter Schwede, one of the oldest townhouses in Wismar, with an imposing Brick Gothic façade. The beautiful waterworks fountain in the centre of the square is a symbol of the city. It once supplied 220 houses and 16 wells with spring water.
A walk through the old harbour

The old port of Wismar was an important trading centre in the Baltic Sea area during the Hanseatic period. Today it is more of an open-air museum, as the industrial port has settled elsewhere. On a stroll past the historical and modern buildings, the Hanseatic flair will seem to come alive. Or put to sea aboard the Wissemara, a replica of a medieval cog.
The street is called what!?

The hotel is located directly on the historic “Tittentasterstraße”. The street, which no longer exists today, was so narrow that people would inevitably come into contact with each other in passing. This gave rise to its unofficial name: “Tit-Touching Street”. So don’t be surprised when you see people stop to laugh by the side entrance of the hotel every now and again.
See the sea

Want to go island hopping? Then book a passage to the island of Poel. Here you will find the finest sandy beaches, small fishing villages and impressive nature. From May to September a passenger ferry shuttles between Wismar and the island’s main town of Kirchdorf. Traveling time: one hour. The island can also be reached year-round by taking bus line 430.
