Our map marker shows the area at the Hafenhaus, Warnowufer 65. Hanse Sail is spread across several areas – your exact route depends on the ship, stage and event.

A CITY WITH A FAVOURITE NUMBER

Rostock’s
magic seven.

Seven towers on the town hall, seven historic city gates and seven streets to the market square: the number seven runs through Rostock’s traditions.

A little piece of local history for your next walk – and a good reason to take a closer look at the Neuer Markt. The story describes historical features, not a present-day count of churches or main roads.
