A look at Rostock's history
While the Seawolves are turning heads in basketball, the city of Rostock has a long and fascinating history that dates back to the 7th century. Originally named “Roztoc” by Slavic tribes, meaning “the river that widens,” Rostock developed over the centuries into a major Hanseatic city. On June 24, 1218, Rostock received its privileges through Lübeck's city charter and thus became a trading metropolis. Many important personalities are associated with the city, including the famous poet Fritz Reuter and Albert Einstein, who received an honorary doctorate here.
The city has developed from an important trading location into a modern university. In particular, the University of Rostock, founded in 1419 and considered the oldest university in the Baltic Sea, celebrated its 600th anniversary in 2019. This long tradition is symbolized by various historical landmarks, including the astronomical clock in St. Mary's Church, which has been in operation since 1472.
Whether it's basketball or history, Rostock has a lot to offer - and the Seawolves are ready to continue making a splash in the Bundesliga. Extraordinary times in which sport and tradition combine harmoniously!
