Alexandrinenstraße (Alexandrine Street), Rostock

Alexandrine Street is one of the oldest streets in Warnemünde. Originally known as Achtereeg, which translates to "back row" in High German, it holds a special place in Warnemünde's history. It was one of the very first streets in the area, and its name has undergone changes over time.

In its early days, Alexandrine Street was inhabited by fishermen, sailors, and pilots who lived in small gabled houses. These houses were typically constructed in simple half-timbered style. Notably, the distance between the houses was so narrow that it allowed only for the passage of a pregnant cow, a measurement referred to as "Tüschen," which is a maximum of 1.5 meters wide.

The street's current name, Alexandrine Street, pays tribute to Queen Luise of Prussia. Queen Luise was originally from Mecklenburg, the region where Warnemünde is located.
