The first four days of Moving Baltic Sea

The old hanseatic town Rostock in the Eastern North of Germany stretches out about 20 kilometres along the river Warnow, which flows into the Baltic Sea. With about 200.000 inhabitants, Rostock is one of the biggest towns at Germanys Baltic coast.

The venue for the Moving Baltic Sea Festival in Rostock is the town harbour. In the times when Germany was divided into two parts, it was a part of the exclusion zone, so it was forbidden to trespass the area.

Since 1991, the whole area of the town-harbour was freed from harbour facilities and changed into a strolling mile with restaurants, theatres, clubs and shops. The infrastructure got modernised, but luckily some of the old cranes and ships were saved.
