This week I had to travel to Greifswald so settle some details about my Phd. I had the time to wonder a bit in the historical centre of the town and take some photographs.
I started at the Fisch 13 shop for a typical Fischbrötchen, a North-German-often-overrated speciality (after all its just fish in bread). Fisch 13 gives this otherwise plain food some interesting twists. I had a Matjesbrötchen with plums, sounds strange but it was a rather interesting mixture of tastes.
I then got to the symbol of the town, the St. Nikolai cathedral. A
Gothic cathedral made of bricks finished during the 14th century with a
tower climbs almost 100m to the clouds. Unfortunately I could not get in,
some renovation works is taking place.
Then a short stop at the public market to buy honey. I was surprised by the
large collection and the low prices. Since in general life in
Greifswald is cheaper than in large urban centres of Germany I decided
to get two jars. When I got home and tasted the honey I finally
understood why it was so cheap.
The short excursion ended at a book shop. There are several of them in
the city centre. I searched for one with old style architecture. The
shop proved to be a very interesting one. A maze of about ten small
sections spreading along a number of corridors and two floors. I bough two
books and hesitated on a rather interesting comic portraying the last days of Sefan Zweig!!! When I saw the price on Amazon I regretted leaving the book in Greifswald. I might get it later...
Next time some of you visit Greifswald make sure these places are visited. There are others to explore, but those carry a
different story...
