The Journey
Bailiwick Warnemünde
Step back in time at the Bailiwick, Warnemünde's oldest and most esteemed building. Once a Danish royal palace in 1250, it evolved through roles as a princely bailiwick, manor house, and seat for Swedish and French bailiffs. For centuries, this building has served as a center of hospitality, complete with its own brewery and tavern. Today, the Bailiwick houses the Tourist Office, offering information and even a picturesque wedding venue. The love locks adorning the adjacent area are a testament to its popularity for seaside nuptials.
Edvard Munch House
Visit the historic house at Am Strom 53, once home to the iconic Norwegian painter Edvard Munch in 1907/08. It was here, in this simple fisherman's dwelling, that Munch, known for 'The Scream,' sought solace during an artistic crisis. Preserved as a historic monument since 1990 and owned by the Edvard-Munch-Haus e.V. since 1994, the house now operates as a vibrant cultural hub hosting rotating exhibitions of modern art, connecting visitors with Munch's legacy and contemporary creativity.
Alexandrinenstraße
Stroll down Alexandrinenstraße, one of Warnemünde's oldest streets. Originally known as Achtereeg, this charming lane was once home to fishermen, sailors, and pilots residing in quaint, half-timbered gabled houses. Notice the narrow gaps, known as Tüschen, between the houses – just wide enough for a pregnant cow to pass through. Today, the street offers a glimpse into the town's maritime past and a picturesque setting for a leisurely walk.
Warnemünde Local History Museum
Delve into Warnemünde's maritime heritage at the Local History Museum, founded in 1914. Housed in a beautifully preserved 18th-century house expanded in the 19th century, the museum showcases the lives of seafarers, fishermen, and pilots, as well as the development of the town's bathing industry. Discover artifacts and exhibits that bring to life the rich history and seafaring traditions of this coastal community.
Alter Strom
Experience the vibrant atmosphere of Alter Strom, the 'Old Channel'. Here, fishing cutters, passenger ships, yachts, and sea rescue cruisers bob gently in the water. The former 'Vörreeg' houses are now bustling with inviting cafés, pubs, ice cream parlors, and charming shops. On the opposite bank, find the old ferry port, railway station, and marinas, completing the picturesque harbor scene.
Warnemünde Church
Discover the Warnemünde Church, standing tall in the town center for over a century. More than just a place of worship, it has historically served as a sanctuary against floods. Admire the votive ships inside, a nod to the town's maritime identity. As Warnemünde has grown into a key cruise port, the church welcomes visitors from around the world with guided tours and musical events. Built in neo-Gothic style between 1866 and 1871, the church features valuable furnishings, including a carved altar from 1475, a Renaissance pulpit from 1591, and a statue of Saint Christopher.
Lakeside Promenade
Stroll along the elegant Lakeside Promenade, lined with picturesque neoclassical villas and resort-style hotels. Admire the architectural grandeur of the Hotel Hübner, one of the oldest hotels on the promenade, built in 1852. Don't miss the Heinkel Villa, acquired by aircraft engineer Ernst Heinkel in 1930 and now home to the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde. Nearby, the Weather Service Villa, formerly the summer residence of schnapps manufacturer Conrad Lehment, showcases the town's blend of scientific pursuit and local tradition.
Warnemünde Lighthouse and Teepott
Marvel at the Warnemünde Lighthouse, a landmark visible from nearly every point in the seaside resort. Built in 1897/98 from white glazed bricks, this 30.60-meter tower offers panoramic views of Warnemünde, the Baltic Sea, the beach, and the harbor entrance. At its base lies the iconic 'Teepott,' a round building with a distinctive roof housing cafes and restaurants. Nearby, a plaque commemorates the devastating storm surge of 1872, highlighting the ongoing battle against the sea. The moles, guarding the harbor entrance, serve as a testament to human resilience.
