NV Land Guide
Herring, beer and salt made the "pepper sacks" rich. This is what the Hanseatic merchants were called behind closed doors, who also traded in grain, wool, dried meat and amber. Like Rostock and Lübeck, Wismar was one of the founding members of the powerful confederation of cities. For the SED, the designation Hanseatic City had early capitalist connotations. But in January 1990, the city, by council resolution, once again awarded itself this title, thus acknowledging its "pepper sacks" and what they had brought to the city. These were not only the far-reaching trade connections and the partially still preserved gabled houses in the old town, but initially also a piece of independence of the bourgeoisie from the nobility and the church. The lords with the white neck rings were not squeamish in their choice of means when it came to extending their power. If necessary, they also made pacts with pirates to get rid of their competitors.
But initially the pirates were their main opponents. The origin of the Hanseatic League with Lübeck and Rostock in 1259 was therefore also a pact against freebooters who had inflicted heavy losses on the merchants. Subsequently, this developed into one of the most powerful economic associations in history, which was only sidelined 300 years later with the discovery of new seas and worlds. This also put an end to the oppression of the craftsmen by the Hanseatic League, which had set in over time. The initially fruitful interaction between merchants and craftsmen developed into the (price) dictates of the merchantry vis-à-vis the guilds. The increasingly wealthy merchants drove the craftsmen out of the council and bequeathed their offices to family members.
You can learn more about the Hanseatic League and seafaring in the Schabbelhaus, which was built in 1570 and is also Wismar's town history museum. It is to be found in the northern old part of town (Schweinsbrücke 8) and is absolutely worth the visit.
But first to the port, where at the "old port" the late Gothic water gate built around 1450 stands, the last still preserved of once five gates. Sad but true: the other four were demolished for traffic reasons in the middle of the 19th century. Many gates along the entire Baltic coast had to give way for these reasons.
The "tree house" near the Old Port houses a small maritime museum in addition to a pilot station. The two Swedish heads in front of today's harbor office once stood on dolphins in front of the harbor entrance. Also worth mentioning is the view from here over the bay with its harbor facilities, the islands of Poel (see: Timmendorf, Kirchdorf) and Walfisch. The latter is protected as a bird breeding area.
One of the first stops on the city tour should be the vault in the "street at the harbor", which was built over an artificially created extinguishing ditch. Grube is the name of this ditch, which also used to supply the city with water.
In the direction taken, one comes to the armory built in the Swedish period (1699) in Ulmenstraße, today the city archive and engineering college. At the end of Ulmenstraße, the long Lübsche Straße begins on the left, in which old gabled houses recall the Hanseatic period and the Heiliggeistkirche (Church of the Holy Spirit) built in 1255 (at the corner of Große Hohe Straße) reminds of the influential times of the church.
In Große Hohe Straße, two historical buildings face each other, the St. Georgenkirche, largely destroyed in 1945, and the Fürstenhof from 1553, which is significant as a work of architectural art. Personalities of antiquity and biblical history represent the limestone figures on the front of the upper floors of the Renaissance building, David and Goliath as well as Samson and Delila decorate the portal.
A few steps away from the Fürstenhof stands the landmark of Wismar, the mighty tower of St. Mary's Church, largely destroyed in World War II. Through Sargmacherstraße, you can get from here to the town hall (1819) on the 10,000-square-meter market square, on whose southeast side stands the "Wasserkunst." At this temple-like Renaissance building engraved sentences tell of the water supply of the city from the 17th to the 19th century.
The "Old Swede" built in 1380 on the east side of the market is probably the best known town house of the city, probably not least because of the restaurant in the old walls. Wood beam ceiling and fireplace create inside the appropriate atmosphere to the historical outer front.
The lime garden with medieval water tower can be reached from the market on the Großschmiedestraße. At its northern end, the Grube Canal (passing the Nikolaikirche) leads back to the starting point of the city tour.
Many things remind us that the city belonged to the Swedes from 1648 to 1803, who expanded Wismar into one of the largest fortresses in Europe, which apparently tempted the city's numerous attackers all the more to conquer the city. More than ten times Wismar was occupied by foreign troops as a result of warlike conflicts.
Since 2002, the historic old town of Wismar has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List together with Stralsund.
