Nomination of the Historic Centres of Stralsund and Wismar for Inscription on the World Heritage List by the Federal Republic of Germany, December 2000, prepared by the Hanseatic Cities of Stralsund and Wismar in association with the State of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
With this application for inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage List, the region of Mecklenburg- Vorpommern and the Hanseatic towns of Stralsund and Wismar are following the express wishes of their citizens' representatives.
Quite a few years ago, as a result of public and official endeavours for the protection of monuments and historical buildings, both towns declared their firm will and intention to protect their traditional heritage, i.e. the old cities, as large-surface monuments, and preserve them for future generations. The inclusion of the two towns in the tentative list of the Federal Republic of Germany has encouraged them in their efforts to seek international protection and recognition.
The Historic Centres of Stralsund and Wismar are rooted in the tradition of the Hanseatic League – the largest European trade organisation of its era. As pure maritime trading towns, they are perfect examples for fully developed Hanseatic towns from the heyday of the League of Towns in the 14th century. They are not being proposed for inclusion in the World Heritage List as a series, but they complement each other so harmoniously in many fields that it seemed best to make a joint application.
Many experts, local governments and citizens have contributed to this joint application with which we hope to enrich the World Heritage List and further protect and promote these historical icons.
