The Ludewig Basin in Rostock's city harbor is getting a new 180-meter-long promenade. Where concrete remains and wild growth currently dominate the scene, in just 18 months people will be able to stroll and enjoy the view of the Warnow. Dr. Chris Müller, Senator for Finance, Administration and Order of the Hanseatic City of Rostock, is delighted: "The area of the Ludewig Basin was for a long time unsightly wasteland that marked the eastern end of the city harbor for many locals and guests.

Until its destruction in 1942, the New Market was surrounded on all sides by magnificent gabled houses from four centuries. Only six houses on the west side retained their original appearance. The Renaissance house no. 16 is particularly striking with its decorative elements on the gable stairs and the lion on the building. "Gaff heads" look down on passers-by. House no. 12 contains features from various styles. It is fascinating with its rich sculptural decoration and the small turrets on the gable. Used as a car park for many years, since 2000 the New Market has once again become what it was for centuries: Rostock's central market square in front of the town hall. The Seagull Fountain on the New Market was created in 2001 by the well-known Worpswede sculptor Waldemar Otto. Four ancient bronze sea gods are grouped around a column with a seagull: Neptune with a trident, Nereus, Triton blowing on a conch shell and Protheus, the walking one. On the north side of the New Market stands the town hall with its seven turrets, directly opposite begins Kröpeliner Straße, the main shopping street of the Hanseatic city. The New Market and Kröpeliner Straße are reserved for pedestrians. Source: https://www.ostsee.de/rostock/neuermarkt.html

A very impressive former hunting lodge with an interesting history and a cozy restaurant with very tasty food and drinks. A visit to the hunting lodge is very interesting. Unfortunately, the upper floors are only accessible to the owners.
