Snack bar on an old fishing boat, Warnemuende, Germany.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Warnemünde is a sea resort and district of Rostock in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, situated on the Baltic Sea in the Northeast of Germany at the estuary of the river in about 1200, Warnemünde for centuries has been a mere fishermen’s village with minor importance for the economic and cultural development of the region. In 1323 Warnemünde lost its autonomous status as it was purchased by the city of Rostock in order to safeguard the city’s access to the Baltic Sea. It was not until the 19th century that Warnemünde began to develop into an important sea resort. Today Warnemünde counts approximately inhabitants. Once completely dependent on the fishery industry, Warnemünde’s economic alignment has shifted inevitably from the primary to the secondary and tertiary sector. Besides the Aker Warnow Werft ship yard, the economy largely depends on tourism. The construction of a modern cruiseline center in 2005 has contributed crucially to Warnemünde’s establishment as the most important harbor for cruiseline ships in Germany. Warnemünde’s broad, sandy beaches are the largest on the German coast of the Baltic Sea and stretch out over a length of 3 kilometers.
