Heimatmuseum Warnemunde (Warnemunde Local History Museum), Rostock

The Warnemunde Local History Museum offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of the old Warnemunde residents. Housed in an authentic fisherman's and skipper's house dating back to 1767, this museum allows visitors to step back in time and explore the typical living spaces of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

As you wander through the museum's rooms, including the "Vörstuw" (parlor), the "Koek" (kitchen), "Achterstuw" (bedroom), and the side "Däl" (hall), you'll gain a direct impression of how the people of Warnemünde once lived. The museum's courtyard is also worth a visit, featuring a typical Warnemunde pear tree, benches, and an herb garden.

Warnemunde was home to sailors, pilots, and fishermen who faced many challenges in their daily lives. The museum's permanent exhibition, spanning 240 square meters, takes you on a voyage of discovery through the history of the town. You'll get a vivid picture of everyday life in Warnemunde during the 19th and early 20th centuries.

On display are artifacts such as an old line rescue wagon used by pilots from 1883, sea chests, nautical equipment used by sailors, and both typical and unusual fishing methods employed by fishermen. You can also delve into the history of one of Warnemünde's most important inventions—the beach chair.
