The Ostsee-Molkerei Wismar is a traditional name in the German dairy industry, even though it is now part of a global dairy giant. It is primarily known for cheese production and is an important economic factor in the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania region. Since 2011, the dairy in Wismar has officially belonged to Arla Foods, one of the largest dairy cooperatives in the world. Previously, it was part of Hansa-Milch AG. Through integration into the Arla network, the site was modernized and specialized in the production of export goods.

The Wismarer Hochbrücke (officially often referred to as Hochbrücke Wismar) is a striking structure in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, which plays a central role for traffic in the Hanseatic city. The bridge is part of the Bundesstraße 105 (B105) and leads over the grounds of the Wismar port as well as over railway tracks of Deutsche Bahn. Its main purpose is to keep through traffic out of the historic old town and to enable a grade-separated connection between the eastern and western parts of the city.

Ascent for 5 €/person with view of the shipyard, Baltic Sea and the large trilr of the city.

Located directly on the market square, it boasts well-preserved buildings from various centuries and architectural styles. Today, it houses the Citizens' Office and the Finance Administration.

Interesting building right on the corner, designed as a triangle. Be careful, it's actually a pedestrian zone!

The church in Dorf Mecklenburg is one of the region's most striking historical monuments, reflecting religious, social, and political developments over many centuries. The village of Dorf Mecklenburg is located in northwestern Mecklenburg, an area with a long Christian tradition that was closely linked to the development of small German towns and aristocratic rule in the Middle Ages. Current Significance: Modern churches in rural regions like Dorf Mecklenburg combine historical heritage with contemporary community work. They face tasks such as maintaining buildings, preserving art treasures, adapting to new religious movements, and integrating them into local educational and cultural programs. The history of the village church thus remains not merely an archival history, but a living source of the region's cultural memory.

The view from the tower of St. George's Church in Wismar is one of the most impressive panoramas in Northern Germany. At a height of approximately 36 meters, it offers a panoramic view of the old town, the harbor, and the Baltic coast – on a clear day, even as far as the island of Poel. From above, the entire UNESCO World Heritage city unfolds in its medieval structure: one recognizes the red tiled roofs, the typical gabled houses, and the geometrically laid out streets. The towers of the other two main churches rise particularly prominently: St. Mary's, whose massive tower is the only remaining church, and the brick Gothic church of St. Nicholas with its high choir. The market square with the neoclassical town hall and the baroque waterworks are also clearly visible. To the north, the view opens up to the Old Harbor, where traditional sailing ships and modern yachts are moored. Behind it, the Bay of Wismar shimmers, glowing a vibrant blue on sunny days. Those looking east will see the green outskirts of the surrounding countryside and, on a clear day, even the silhouettes of the shipyards. The tower of St. Georgen can be reached via elevator or stairs. At the top, visitors will find a glass-enclosed viewing platform that offers shelter from all weather conditions while still guaranteeing a clear view. The climb is definitely worth it – not only for the magnificent view, but also for the feeling of standing above a city with almost 800 years of history.
