28th Edition of the Hanse Sail Rostock Is Open The Minister President of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Manuela Schwesig and the Mayor of the Hanseatic and University City Roland Methling opened the 28th edition of the Hanse Sail Rostock with the traditional glass of the ship's bell in the best mood. From 9 to 12 August, around 170 traditional sailing ships and museum ships will transform the event area on the Warnow River and Baltic Sea into a maritime Eldorado. "The Hanse Sail Rostock is the biggest folk festival in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and stands for tradition, modernity and cosmopolitanism. It is an honour for me to be the patron of the event again and to be able to ceremoniously open it", announced Prime Minister Manuela Schwesig. Partner country of this year's Hanse Sail is the Kingdom of Sweden, whose ambassador Per Anders Thöresson was also present at the opening on the NDR stage. "I am a passionate sailor myself and what is happening here in Rostock is really amazing. The Hanse Sail is the most beautiful festival I have ever seen", enthused Ambassador Thöresson. The Swedish fleet of traditional wooden ships is an integral part of the Hanse Sail and can be visited at Kabutzenhof in the city harbour. Also a loyal partner of the Hanse Sail is the German Navy, which participates with several ships and an open base in the largest annual traditional sailing meeting of the world, as the inspector of the Navy Andreas Krause announced. Navy combat swimmers had jumped from a helicopter into the Warnow River with the flags of Sweden, Germany, Rostock and the Hanse Sail before the opening and had brought them onto the stage. The ceremony was completed with the tapping of the draught beer of the Hanseatic Brewery Rostock. picture caption Prime Minister Manuela Schwesig and Lord Mayor Roland Methling opened the 28th Hanse Sail Rostock together.

Along the Darss Peninsula – Course Set for the Hanse Sail Fri 03 August
Along the Darss peninsula – course set for the Hanse Sail Fri 03 August 2018 – Tue 07 August 2018 From the Hanseatic city of Stralsund we are going to set course for Rostock ... on the way there, we will take some time to explore the coast of the Baltic Sea. This cruise is accompanied by two attractive maritime events: in Stralsund, a port festival called Seglarträff with historic traditional ships will be taking place. And at the time of our arrival at the port of Rostock, the city will already be in the midst of preparations for the upcoming Hanse Sail maritime festival. This taster cruise will be full of sailing experiences on the Baltic Sea as well as impressions of nature in protected mooring bays with interesting and exciting port visits. This is where you will go on board: Stralsund Our crew will welcome you on board in the Hanseatic city of Stralsund. Embarkation will take place at 19:00 hours. Afterwards, you will have dinner together in the comfortable lounge, where you will quickly feel at home on the Eye of the Wind's deck and get to know your fellow sailors. In Stralsund we will take part in the Seglarträff, a maritime event for traditional ships with an attractive program for visitors and seafarers. The center of the former Hanseatic city is on the UNESCO World Heritage List and definitely worth seeing. The Ozeaneum at the port sees itself as a declaration of love to the oceans: it has 45 aquariums, some of which are huge, an underwater journey through the northern seas, lifesize replicas of whales, and a penguin enclosure on the roof.

ROSTOCK CITY It Has About 200,000
www.soundscapesrostock.de ROSTOCK CITY It has about 200,000 inhabitants including around 6500 migrants of which most are from the Russian Federation, Ukraine, and Vietnam. Universities such as the University of Rostock, the oldest university of Northern Europe, and the University of Music and Drama (Hochschule für Musik und Theater, HMT), attract many students from other parts of Germany and abroad. The University of Music and Drama founded in 1994 contributes to a large part to the city’s cultural life with its thrilling calendar of events. It combines tradition and modernity in a perfect way not only in its architecture, but also in the courses offered which range from classical music to pop and world music, from music education to musicology, drama and multimedia. The city of Rostock has existed since 1218 and looks back to nearly 800 years of history determined by commerce, harbour, shipbuilding, shipping, and fishing. The Kunsthalle, the Volkstheater, the Theater am Stadthafen, the Institut Français, the Max-Samuel House, the Waldemarhof, the Familienzentrum Lütten Klein, and the Jugendkulturzentrum Mau are only some examples of the vivid cultural life of the city. Tourists come to Rostock to visit not only the marvellous beaches on the Baltic coast around Rostock, but also the largest Christmas market in Northern Germany and the Hanse Sail Rostock, a sailing festival held annually in August. Only a few people in Rostock still know Plattdüütsch or Low German, a regional dialect of the Western German languages spoken mainly in Northern Germany and the eastern part of the Netherlands, but also in Northern Poland, the Kaliningrad Oblast of Russia, and a part of southern Lithuania.1 In the context of this project, we heard this dialect at the concert of the Duo Ossenkopp and the shanty choir Breitling (101126-Duo Ossenkopp_Plattdeutsch).

13 th August 2017 Hanse Sail Fans are weatherproof One Million Visitors and 200 Ships celebrate maritime Tradition and Future during mixed Weather The Hanse Sail attracted an audience of a million again in 2017. Despite mixed weather, visitors from far and wide were flocking to the quays of Rostock and Warnemünde. All in all, 30.000 guests took the chance to sail with one of the participating ships, of which more than 12.000 were distributed via the tall ship booking centre of the Hanse Sail Association. “I would particularly like to thank everyone who took the invitation to come aboard the ships. By buying the tickets they support the traditional ships, the Hanse Sail and maritime festivals in general,” Roland Methling said, first mayor of the Hanseatic and University City Rostock. Like pearls on a string, the ships from Szczecin, the final harbour of the Tall Ship Races, entered Rostock, with the “Cisne Branco” leading the way; the “White Swan” from Brazil was visited during the four days of the Hanse Sail by approximately 20.000 visitors. “Szczecin with its Baltic Sail is a strong network partner. Our events support each other, so that new ships enter our harbours again and again and eventually become regular guests,” Methling explains. “The 27 th Hanse Sail was a well-attended event, regarding the ships as well as the visitors. This is one of the reasons we know why the concept works – we have a very loyal audience and the good reputation of our event attracts new guests again and again,” as Holger Bellgart, the Director of the Hanse Sail Office summarizes.
