Wismar And Medieval Beer
Wismar and Medieval Beer
Nestled along the Baltic Sea, Wismar is a charming port and Hanseatic city, celebrated for its well-preserved medieval architecture and its UNESCO World Heritage status. This hidden treasure along the Baltic coast offers a glimpse into history, with centuries-old buildings and tales of past glory. Founded in 1229, Wismar quickly became one of Mecklenburg’s first thriving cities, attracting merchants, craftsmen, sailors, fishermen, and guild members. Pirates, including Germany's legendary Klaus Stoertebecker, were also drawn to its shores. A privateer with the Victual Brothers, Stoertebecker is believed to have lived in Wismar, and some even claim it as his birthplace.
Your journey begins with a scenic, approximately one and a half-hour drive from the port of Warnemünde to the heart of this captivating city, partly along the German Autobahn. Once in Wismar, you'll explore the cobbled streets, passing landmarks such as the Town Hall, the Water Tower, the historic drainage system, and the charming merchant houses that line the picturesque shopping streets. After taking in the sights, enjoy a break at "Brauerei am Lohberg," a nostalgic brewery and pub that has been serving patrons since the Middle Ages. Here, you can savor a glass of "Mumme" beer—brewed from a medieval recipe—along with a traditional German snack.
If time allows, you’ll have the opportunity to explore further on your own. Discover the hidden beauty of Wismar for yourself on this 5-hour journey through one of the Baltic’s best-kept secrets.
