World Heritage House – Residents and guests can find out about UNESCO and the history of the Hanseatic city in the new World Heritage House.

The old towns of Stralsund and Wismar have been UNESCO World Heritage Sites since 2002. Both cities represent ideally developed urban complexes from the heyday of the Hanseatic League in the 14th century. The city centres, with their monumental brick churches and representative merchants’ houses, have been able to preserve their medieval layout almost unchanged to this day.

Date: daily until 30.09.2022

100 Years of Nosferatu – Filmed in Wismar, a “milestone in film history because it is the first expressionist film with outdoor shots.

What we take for granted today, that vampires do not tolerate light, goes back to the film “Nosferatu-A Symphony of Horror”, which was shot in Wismar in 1921. With its harbour and the adjacent old town, Wismar offered the ideal conditions for the realisation of most of the film scenes in a small space. The old Hanseatic city served as the backdrop for the fictional Wisborg. Director Friedrich Wilhelm-Murnau filmed on location at locations that can still be visited today in the original.

To mark the occasion, there will be many events around the theme of “Nosferatu” in 2022. Whether it’s a silent film screening with musical accompaniment, a guided tour of the city, a theatre performance, or a staged street theatre performance – there’s something for everyone.

Date: June to October
