Stadtmitte is a district of the Hanseatic city of Rostock . It mainly consists of the historic city center within the city wall , which completely surrounded the city until 1830, with the northern and eastern old town . In addition, the Steintor suburb to the south is part of the district.
history
In the Middle Ages Rostock was divided into three urban areas - Neustadt, Mittelstadt and Old Town.
The Neustadt extended around the Jakobikirche , located between the Faulen Grube and the Kröpeliner Tor ,
the Mittelstadt expanded around the Marienkirche , and
the old town lay at the feet of the Petrikirche and the Nikolaikirche .
Current time
Today's district Stadtmitte comprises the actual city center as well as the Steintor suburb and the adjacent areas up to the southern city limits with the incorporated former village of Dalwitzhof.
Part of the city center, the northern old town , extends north of Langen Strasse to Grubenstrasse. In the west of this former harbor district, large-scale prefabricated apartment buildings were built in the 1980s . Lange Straße was rebuilt in the 1950s as a socialist thoroughfare after the war damage. The Kröpeliner Straße , which has been a pedestrian zone in the city center since 1968 , is the shopping mile in Rostock . Another noteworthy street in the city center is Breite Straße . Here are the cinema Cinestar Capitol Filmpalast , the Galeria Kaufhof , which in the GDR nor the Centrum was -Warenhaus, restaurants, various cafes and shops.
The eastern old town in the city center is east of the Neuer Markt. Smaller houses and tranquil old town flair predominate here . The streets have historical names and are mostly named after medieval crafts. The medieval street structure has largely survived there.
The Steintor suburb is also part of the city center today. This district was built south of the stone gate as a residential area for wealthy citizens of the city since the middle of the 19th century . In the quarter there are interesting and often lovingly renovated villas and town houses, from the classicist style to historicism and art nouveau .
