The heart of the city! With a single panoramic view, 800 years of history come alive here.
Here, in the heart of the old town, architectural monuments from Hanseatic, Swedish, Prussian and recent times stand side by side. The architecture of the Middle Ages and the Baroque meets the "new objectivity" of the early 20th century and the prefabricated housing of the GDR era. This is also where the city's landmark - the town hall ensemble - presents itself from its most impressive side. The unique display facade of the town hall and the mighty Nikolai Church right next to it can best be viewed and, of course, photographed from the Old Market Square. The water surface together with the meter-high fountain, directly on the pavement of the Old Market, attracts children on hot summer days almost magically and provides amusing entertainment for restaurant guests and passers-by.
