CITY WALLS WITH RAMPARTS
Large sections of Rostock's city fortifications are still preserved today. The city wall, gates, towers, watchtowers, and ramparts were built in the second half of the 13th century. The longest section of the city wall, stretching 450 meters, extends southwest of the Gothic Kröpeliner Gate to Schwaansche Straße.

Starting from the Steintor, you follow the city wall to Mecklenburg's oldest city gate, the Kuhtor (first documented in 1262). A plaque embedded in the wall at St. Peter's Church commemorates the city's confirmation of its charter in 1218. The last remaining Strandtor gate is the Mönchentor, which was redesigned in the neoclassical style in 1806.

University Square (Universitätsplatz), Rostock

Highlight • Settlement

The University Square is located on the former market square of the new town, built in 1252.
Large trees provide shade, benches invite you to rest - a small oasis in the middle of the old town and the main shopping street "Kröpeliner Straße", called "Kröpi" for short.

Fountain of Joy

Highlight • Monument

The Fountain of Joy was inaugurated by the Rostock artists Reinhard Dietrich and Jo Jastram on June 27, 1980 and is located on Rostock's University Square. As the city's meeting point, it symbolizes the unity and relationship between humans, animals and water and, with its 26 bubbles and 18 water fountains, is a symbol of the Hanseatic city and simply a great work.
