March 24, 2026, St. Nikolai Church, Wismar

The St. Nicholas' Church in Wismar is not only a landmark of Brick Gothic architecture but also an impressive testament to Hanseatic history. As the church of sailors and fishermen (hence the dedication to St. Nicholas), it is deeply rooted in the city's maritime tradition. With a vault height of 37 meters, St. Nicholas' boasts the fourth-highest church nave in Germany (after Ulm Minster, Cologne Cathedral, and St. Mary's Church, Lübeck).

The cycle path around the northern tip of the lake is a sandy track at this point and up to the fish snack bar in Bad Kleinen. It's difficult to ride even in dry weather and should be avoided during or after rain, unless you're on a mountain bike...

Wismar Town Hall, like other Neo-Classical town halls in Mecklenburg-Schwerin, was planned and designed by court architect Johann Georg Barca and built between 1817 and 1819. The east wing was severely damaged during World War II. After the Second World War, the damage was repaired, and the heavy-looking façade was slightly reworked and smoothed in keeping with the systematic architecture of Socialist Neo-Classicalism. Since then, for example, the relief bands of the outer gables have been restored and set off as originally intended. The western section of the new building still retains older vaults and masonry remnants of the predecessor building from the second half of the 14th century.
