Greifswald Ryck Storm Surge Barrier

Highlight • Structure

The Greifswald barrage is located in the cross-section of the Ryck federal waterway at the confluence with the "Dänische Wiek" in the Greifswald-Wieck district. It forms an integral part of the flood protection system for the university and Hanseatic city of Greifswald. The approximately four meter deep Ryck has a width of approximately 60 meters and serves as an entrance to the city harbor of Greifswald. The main purpose of the largest technical coastal protection structure on the German Baltic Sea coast is to protect against flooding during storm floods, taking into account the conservation of the brackish water-dependent biotopes in the Ryck lowlands. A building was developed which is optimal in the area of tension between security, functionality, urban perception and costs. The barrage was inaugurated and put into operation on April 27, 2016.

Three Wise Men Sculptures at the Harbor

Highlight • Monument

The Hamburg sculptor Johannes Speder made the three wooden heads during the first international wood sculpture symposium in Greifswald in 1996. The artists' meeting was organized by the Wieck sculptor Heinrich Zenichowski.
Two years later, the Hanseatic city of Greifswald bought the three-part work and had it installed on the sculpture path in Wieck. “The Three Wise Men”, which initially shone in the colors white, yellow and blue, became the trademark of the pier.
But over the years the sculptures deteriorated and eventually fell into disrepair. Now their creator has restored the wooden heads. Speder cleaned the sculptures, repaired damaged areas and finally oiled them to protect them from the weather. Today the work on the “Utkiek” restaurant is presented in a natural wooden outfit.

Wieck Hand-operated Drawbridge

Highlight • Bridge

This bascule bridge leads over the Ryck River and connects the two Greifswald districts of Eldena and Wieck. It was inaugurated in 1887 and is now one of the oldest still existing and functioning wooden bascule bridges. You can rightly call it a landmark of Greifswald or Wieck. The residents of the Eldena side do not like to hear it at all when Wieck is always mentioned, although Eldena should also be mentioned.

Fun fact: several times a year there are motorists who ignore the bollard signs, want to drive quickly afterwards and wreck their car. The bollard is just very stable. :)
