Overview

Experience East Germany in Rostock: Rostock has a lot of GDR era art and architecture in easy walking distance to experience, as well as a haunting Stasi memorial. I was born in 1970, grew up in Rostock and I love to show this side of our town to our international guests.

I always encourage people to see the East German heritage by using the GDR era public transport links.

We will have lunch at a food court in the town centre that provides traditional East German cuisine but also caters to all other tastes.After lunch, we will head to the tram stop Lange Strasse and have a gentle ride past lots of interesting historical sights. We will see the Soviet war memorial on the wall of Neptunwerft, a piece of public art from the turbulent reunification years, the wonderful Kunsthalle (the only purpose built art gallery of East Germany), and Reutershagen, which was built in the 1950s. We will then ride past Soviet style housing blocks in Evershagen, see the wonderful socialst murals there, and continue on to Luetten Klein, where we will exit the tram and look more closely at socialist housing blocks that could be in Novosibirsk, as well as an Ulrich Muether building with a large saddle roof.Depending on the interests of the participants, we can stop at other sights and have a closer look.We will then continue on to Warnemuende by suburb train.
