The lighthouse "Teepott" and compass at 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. Warnemünde’s broad, sandy beaches are the largest on the German coast of the Baltic Sea and stretch out over a length of 3 a center of maritime traffic, the district of Warnemünde comprises numerous navigational aids, the oldest of which is the lighthouse located near the beach promenade. The lighthouse, which is currently still in use, was built in 1897. In the summer period, the 40-yards-high tower allows for visitors to enjoy an impressive view over the Baltic Sea and the Northern districts of Rostock. The nearby Teepott (Tea Pot) with its slightly curved roof, the resort’s second famous landmark, is an interesting example of GDR-architecture. Built in the 1960’s and renovated in 2002, it today houses different restaurants and a sea voyage exhibition.
