Ferry chaos in Rostock! Why does the Berlin stay for hours?

Ferry chaos in Rostock! Why does the Berlin stay for hours?

In Rostock, a good horror for ferry passengers between Rostock and Denmark occurred last Saturday. The reason for this was an accident from the "Berlin" ferry, which could not be opened and was forced to return to Rostock. This led to a seven -hour delay that only extended the game of patience for travelers. After the repair in Rostock, however, the ferry now ensures a regular ferry operation, such as the Ostsee Zeitung reports .

The Rostock - Gedser ferry connection is not only known for its reliability, but also has a long history. A lot has happened since their first establishment in 1873, when post steamer between Rostock and Nykøbing (Falster). In 1990, the line was revived as a railway ferry connection and since then Rostock has been an important traffic junction on the Baltic Sea. Interestingly, the route offers up to seven departures per direction every day and contributes to the high frequency of over 100 million passengers, which underlines the attractiveness of the Ostsee ferry connections, as on Wikipedia can be read.

available land and urban development

While ferry operations run normally, there is another challenge in Rostock that arouses urban interest. Two building plots are available that are waiting for their new owners despite years of searching for investors. One of the plots is located below the impressive Petrikirche, the other in Ernst-Barlach-Straße. The latter has a tender period until mid -July, while the deadline for the property on the Petritor has already expired. This Situation ensures great headaches among urban developers because the potential of these areas remains unused, so Ostsee Zeitung .

and while the city tries to close this building gap, a popular gastronomy operation in the old town of Rostock surprisingly goes to its knees. The "Liberty Delis" restaurant closed its doors and the reasons for this remain unclear. The owner personally addressed the guests, but many wonder what is behind this sudden closure, which provides further conversation in the city.

cultural life in a decline?

Another unpleasant message for cultural friends in Rostock: The popular concert and theater series "Monday Balcon" does not take place this year. The organizers had to cancel the event because the application for funding was rejected. This series has attracted up to 1000 visitors every week since 2018 and was a fixed point in the Rostock cultural calendar. Now it remains to be seen whether and how this cultural gap can be filled.

But there is also positive news: This week the band Fury is performing in the Slaughterhouse in Rostock, and the anticipation among fans is already noticeable. Musical highlights like this bring a breath of fresh air to the Hanseatic city.

In the middle of all these developments, the city also inspires with individual stories. For example, at the concert by singer Lea, where 8-year-old Milo overcame his fear of crowds to experience the live event up close. Such stories are the heart of every city and show that life continues even in the most turbulent times.

The Baltic Sea therefore has a lot to offer in this challenging time, whether through cultural events or historical transport connections that continue to have a high degree of regional and international relevance. It is important that Rostock not only masters the challenges, but also celebrates the beautiful sides of the city.
