Sights in Greifswald

The three large 13th-century churches are the most conspicuous buildings, and they also dominate the townscape.

Because of their age and artistic decoration, the Cathedral of St. Nicholas, the Fat Marie, as the Church of St. Mary is fondly called, and the Church of St. James are absolutely worth seeing. The Wiecker Brücke is another sight Greifswald has to offer.

The wooden bascule bridge is one of the technical monuments in Germany and is the landmark of the municipality of Greifswald-Wiecke. It is a popular motif for photographers, painters and tourists. For friends of sailing, Greifswald holds the river Ryck, where you can pursue this great leisure activity and even learn it.

The market square with its many half-timbered and Gothic-style buildings is a popular meeting place for locals and tourists. The varied eateries around the square invite you to feast, enjoy and linger.

One of the last contemporary witnesses from 1199 is the former Eldena monastery. Unfortunately, it can be visited today only as a ruin, but this does almost no harm to the beauty. One can still imagine very well how imposing and stately the former monastery must have looked.
