Wine Route (Rostock)
The Wine Route in Rostock is a short and narrow alley in the historic center of the Hanseatic city . It connects the beach road in the north with the carrier road in the south. It is part of the former Rostock Mittelstadt .
In 1326 it was mentioned for the first time as Faule Grube (not to be confused with today's Faulen Grube west of St. Mary's Church ). Its original name appropriately characterizes it as a lower-lying, so often quite damp side street. Their importance in the urban fabric was extremely small. It was only lined with a few stalls. In 1496 the Faule Grube was renamed Weinstrasse , probably only for the reason that it was upgraded with a melodious name. There is no evidence that wine was traded or even grown on this street . At the northern end of the street was the wine gate , which is not counted among Rostock's 12 beach gates due to its minor importance. It was destroyed in the great city fire in 1677, but survived the Second World War undamaged.
One of the buildings worth seeing in the Weinstrasse is number 3, a brick warehouse from the late 19th century. At number 8, at the corner of Strandstrasse, you will find a storage building from 1790.
