Wismar is one of the finest and best-preserved Hanseatic port cities on the German Baltic coast — a UNESCO World Heritage Site (jointly with Stralsund) inscribed for its outstanding ensemble of medieval and early modern Brick Gothic architecture surrounding a large historic harbour. The city centre has been remarkably well preserved through the GDR period and the years of post-reunification restoration, and today presents one of the most authentic and least-touristed Hanseatic townscapes in Germany. The enormous Marktplatz — one of the largest historic market squares in northern Germany — is surrounded by fine patrician houses, the Renaissance Wasserkunst (water tower), and the ruins of the great St. Mary's Church (Marienkirche), bombed in WWII and partially preserved as a monument.
Wismar's history includes a remarkable period of Swedish sovereignty — the city was Swedish from 1648 (Peace of Westphalia) until 1903, and Swedish architectural and cultural influence is visible in the old town's character. The old harbour (Alter Hafen) with its distinctive Swedish Warehouse (Schwedenspeicher) and the Baumhaus (harbour gatehouse) preserves the maritime commercial character of the Hanseatic era. The nearby Poel Island, connected to the mainland by a causeway, has excellent beaches and traditional Baltic fishing villages accessible within 20 minutes of the town centre. Wismar's association with the vampire film Nosferatu (1922) — filmed partly in the city's medieval streets — has given it an additional cultural identity.
UNESCO Hanseatic Heritage: Wismar's old town is jointly inscribed with Stralsund on the UNESCO World Heritage List as an outstanding example of the urban character and brick Gothic architecture of a major Hanseatic trading city. The Georgenkirche, St. Nikolai Church and the vast ruins of St. Mary's Church represent the extraordinary ecclesiastical ambition of the medieval merchant city.
Marktplatz and Wasserkunst: Wismar's enormous central Marktplatz — 100 metres wide — is one of the finest Hanseatic market squares in the Baltic region, with the remarkable Renaissance Wasserkunst (1602) at its centre — a bronze-roofed water distribution structure that supplied the town's fountains from a cistern beneath. The surrounding patrician houses and the Town Hall give the square a cohesive Hanseatic grandeur.
Nosferatu Heritage: F.W. Murnau's Nosferatu (1922) — the first and most influential vampire film in cinema history — was partially filmed in Wismar's medieval streets, using the old town's Gothic atmosphere to create the Transylvanian setting of the story. The city celebrates this cinematic heritage with marked film locations in the old town.
