Here you will find an overview and all important information about all schools and playschools in Rostock and the surrounding area.
Education and science
This city by the Warnow River earned a name for itself as a place of science and education in 1419, when the first university in Northern Europe was opened here. Students and academics from all over Germany, and even Scandinavia, come to Rostock. Among them are famous names such as David Chytreus, Samuel Gottlieb Vogel and Joachim Junguis.
However, many local businesses also contribute with pioneering innovations. The ‘Erbgroßherzog Friedrich Franz’ ship, made at the Tischbein & Zeltz wharf, was launched in Rostock in 1851, being the first seafaring iron screw steamer in Germany.
In the 1870s, pepsin, peptone and rennet powder were manufactured at Friedrich Witte’s chemical factory. The first jet aircraft also began to do its rounds in the 1930s around the factory site run by the Heinkel company.
Studying by the sea
The University of Rostock is the region’s centre for science - the number of research institutes grouped around it is significant.
