St. Nikolai was first mentioned in 1257, but is certainly a little older. It was the heart of the second of the four Rostock settlements. The church was consecrated in its current form in 1312. It was badly damaged in the Second World War. In a long-term reconstruction, a changed usage concept was implemented: The church space is used for church services and events, there are apartments in the roof, and the tower was made usable for church administration tasks.

The Nikolaikirche Rostock is not only a meeting place for church, art and culture, it also offers unique living and working spaces. Construction began in 1230, heavily damaged in 1942, the nave and tower burned down, the organ and the baroque pulpit fell victim to the flames. In 1976 the tower, the church roof and the nave were rebuilt and apartments were built in the roof, today it is an event venue (concerts, markets, exhibitions). The organ comes from the Philippus Church in Rummelsberg/Bavaria. It was ceremoniously inaugurated in Rostock in April 2002. Directly below the choir is the Schwibbogen, a narrow and low roadway. Above the Schwibbogen you can see a restored picture of St. Nicholas in front of the silhouette of Rostock. https://www.auf-nach-mv.de/reiseziele/a-nikolaikirche-rostock-kirchliches-zentrum

Interesting icebreaker, moored directly at the harbor and not to be missed. On the information board next to it you can find out everything about where and until when he did his work. In the current climate, such ships are probably no longer needed in Germany.

The Kösterbecker See belongs to the nature reserve of the same name in Rostock Switzerland. A quiet spot where you can linger for a while.
