WISMAR
ENGLISH
Übersetzung ins Englische:Christiane Tümmler
Of St Mary only the tower has survived. As a highly visible landmark it is valued by sailors for long ages. In the background on the left, the most recent of the three major Wismar churches, St George.
WELCOME!
“We live where others go on vacation” – so many Wismar say enthusing. This is no exaggeration: Over 200,000 people visit the Hanseatic city every year to enjoy the unique charm of a comparatively small, manageable community with the cosmopolitanism of a Baltic Sea port.
Wismar is situated on the southern tip of a bay, protected by the island of Poel and the sandbank of Lieps – picturesquely nestled in the green of fields and meadows, the blue of the Baltic Sea, some yellow of the beach and the bright yellow of the canola fields in spring. Along with the red brick Gothic of its old town it gives a harmonious impression. Three high towering churches brought forth wealth by trade. St Nicolas near the harbor was the church of the seamen. St George is considered the “miracle of Wismar”. Enormous war and weather damage have been largely repaired in over 20 years of work. Fortunately the church tower of St Mary survived. The nave was blasted because of severe war damage in 1960; the replica wall outlines the size of the former church council. Many testimonies of bygone periods are displayed on the façades of Wismar. As proud lions jump out of the wall or stretch out shining like gold over the portal, while some “Swedish head” would tell of about 15 Swedish decades, if it could.
