Tips from the Community

Becker
July 26, 2026, Hopfenmarkt

The Hopfenmarkt is a small, cozy square in Rostock's old town, just a few steps from Kröpeliner Straße. It is ideal for a short break during a city tour. Worth seeing are: ⛲ The water features and the small fountain in the middle of the square. 🏛️ The restored gabled houses and courtyards with cafes and restaurants. ☕ Several restaurants and beer gardens invite you to linger. Historically, the Hopfenmarkt was once an important trading place. It originally formed its own section of road and later became part of today's Kröpeliner Straße. The name is a reminder that hops, among other things, were traded here in the past.

The Nikolaikirche Rostock (St. Nicholas Church) is one of the oldest hall churches in the Baltic Sea region and one of the most important brick Gothic buildings in the Hanseatic city. It was built as early as the 13th century and was the parish church of the former Rostock Neustadt. Particularly worth seeing are: The impressive brick Gothic style with the simple, light-flooded interior. The unusual use: After its destruction in World War II, the church was rebuilt in such a way that today there are apartments in the roof area – a rare solution in Europe.

Old Town Magazine: After the war, Karl Planeth volunteered to clear rubble, design, and maintain the area north and east of St. Peter's Church, especially the path below the city wall between Slüterstraße and Bagehl. For several years, the Association for the Promotion of the Eastern Old Town, together with the family members, has fought to have the newly constructed path named "Karl-Planeth-Weg." On November 5, 2010, the time finally came. The path along the city wall was given its name, "Karl-Planeth-Weg." At the same time, two memorial plaques were unveiled below the Slüter Monument and above the Gerberbruch. These explain who Karl Planeth was and why the path was named after him.
