Dierkow-Neu: Green Spaces and District History

Green Spaces and District History in Dierkow-Neu

If you are looking for a hotel in Dierkow-Neu for a stay on the Baltic Sea, it is worth taking a closer look at the surrounding area. The district combines central green spaces, paths, sports facilities and everyday amenities with a clearly recognisable urban history. This allows you to base your choice of location not only on the accommodation, but also on the characteristics of the neighbourhood.

The central green space at Kurt-Schumacher-Ring has paths that have been adapted to current usage requirements, particularly accessibility. The sculpture “Der Kopf” (“The Head”), subtitled “Tag und Nacht” (“Day and Night”), by sculptor Wolfgang Friedrich is located in the same green space. The naturalistic Dierkow district logo “Labyrinth” is also located there and has been carefully renovated. Both works give the green space a distinctive cultural connection. Both works are therefore located in the same green space and can be viewed together on a walk.

Additional paths and open spaces are spread throughout the district. A footpath runs parallel to the railway tracks across the large eastern meadow of the green spaces on Gutenbergstraße. The green spaces on Gutenbergstraße also have a public barbecue area available to local residents. At Kurt-Schumacher-Ring 160, the Dierkow District and Community Centre offers “JuKi”, a meeting place for children and young people aged 6 to 26.

Sports and leisure activities are also part of the local scene. The sports complex on Walter-Butzek-Straße includes a full-size football pitch suitable for competitive matches. Next to the sports hall at Kurt-Schumacher-Ring 161a are several leisure areas in green surroundings, including a skate park and playgrounds.

For orientation by bicycle or on foot, there is a shared pedestrian and cycle path along Dierkower Allee between Rövershäger Chaussee and the junction with Kurt-Schumacher-Ring. It was renewed and made accessible over a length of approximately 500 metres between October 2019 and April 2020. Regional mobility planning also takes the following into account: In Rostock and the surrounding region, suburban trains, regional trains, trams, buses and ferries operate within the Warnow Transport Association using a single ticket.

The urban appearance is closely connected to the period in which it was developed. Dierkow-Neu was built between 1983 and 1987 using large-panel construction. The rows of buildings, ranging from three to six storeys, form many small courtyards and thus shape the spatial structure of the district.

For everyday orientation, there is the Dierkow District Library at Hannes-Meyer-Platz 7 and the Dierkow weekly market at Hannes-Meyer-Platz. The market takes place every Wednesday from 08:00 to 14:00. The Dierkow Mill “Zum Holländer” in Rostock provides a historical accent: it was built around 1880 and is now used as a restaurant with a mill garden.
