Historic Centres of Stralsund and Wismar
The medieval towns of Wismar and Stralsund, on the Baltic
coast of northern Germany, were major trading centres of the Hanseatic
League in the 14th and 15th centuries. In the 17th and 18th centuries
they became Swedish administrative and defensive centres for the German
territories. They contributed to the development of the characteristic
building types and techniques of Brick Gothic in the Baltic region, as
exemplified in several important brick cathedrals, the Town Hall of
Stralsund, and the series of houses for residential, commercial and
crafts use, representing its evolution over several centuries.
