City Introduction

Neubrandenburg is a city in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in northern Germany. The city was founded in 1248, when the Margrave of Brandenburg decided to establish a settlement in the northern part of his stronghold, and he named it after the already existing city, Brandenburg. After its foundation, the city developed continuously, especially until the Thirty Years’ War in the 17th century.

In the center of Neubrandenburg, there are mainly buildings from the time after the destruction during the Second World War, but quite a few of the large historical buildings have been rebuilt. The city itself is a network of right-angled streets with the square Marktplatz in the middle. On Marktplatz, the 56 meter high Haus der Kultur und Bildung from 1965 is the dominant building. Previously, the city’s town hall and the Elector’s Palace were located on the square.

The city’s medieval walls with city gates can be seen around Neubrandenburg’s old town. The entire wall from the 13th-15th centuries has been preserved to this day and forms a ring of over two kilometres, with a park on the outside. Along the wall you can see the gates Friedländer Tor, Stargarder Tor, Treptower Tor and Neues Tor, all of which are worth seeing. You can also see the so-called Wiek houses, which are built into the wall, and the Fangelturm tower.

There are also a couple of churches in central Neubrandenburg. The largest and most well-known is St.-Marien-Kirche, which was built shortly after the town was founded in 1248. The church with the beautiful gable is a fine example of North German brick Gothic. You can also see the Johanniskirche, which was built as a monastery church. Another interesting place is the Schauspielhaus Neubrandenburg, which is the state’s oldest theater building.

Rathaus, Demmin

Demmin

The town of Demmin is one of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania’s Hanseatic cities, and there are several sights in the town from its history as a fortified trading post. Today, slightly more than 10,000 inhabitants live in Demmin, where Markt forms the central square and town centre.

The square is the city’s marketplace, and it is a good starting point for a stroll in the city. Take a look at the elegant Town Hall before the walk passes the church of St.-Bartholomaei-Kirche and the maritime environment of the city’s once-bustling river port, which has contributed to a great deal of Demmin’s growth.

Rathaus, Greifswald

Greifswald

The Hanseatic city of Greifswald by the river Ryck is a cozy and interesting city with everything that belongs to the epitome of a northern German city. Beautiful buildings, impressive churches, a central market square and a town hall with a history from the Hanseatic period are just some of the highlights.

Compared to other northern German Hanseatic cities, Greifswald is a relatively small town, and this gives the opportunity to experience the city on foot at your leisure. There is not far between the sights, which for many is a great experience.
