Discover Dierkow-Neu

Explore Dierkow-Neu through its local landmarks: green spaces along Kurt-Schumacher-Ring and Gutenbergstraße, paths, sports and recreational areas, and amenities at the local community center. These different points of interest give you an impression of what defines the district. If you are looking for a hotel for your stay in Rostock, you can assess Dierkow-Neu based on these interests and then compare your search with your own requirements.

Green spaces and paths

A central green space in Dierkow-Neu is located along Kurt-Schumacher-Ring. Its paths have been adapted to meet current use requirements, with particular attention to accessibility. The naturalistic neighborhood logo “Labyrinth” is located there and has been carefully restored. The sculpture “Der Kopf” (“The Head”), subtitled “Tag und Nacht” (“Day and Night”), by sculptor Wolfgang Friedrich, also stands in this green space.

The green spaces along Gutenbergstraße offer a different kind of route: a walking path runs parallel to the railway tracks across the large meadow on the eastern side. Another walking and cycling path runs along Dierkower Allee between Rövershäger Chaussee and the junction with Kurt-Schumacher-Ring. This section, about 500 meters long, was renovated and made accessible from October 2019 to April 2020. A walking path through a green space and a renovated walking and cycling path thus offer different points of reference within the district.

Sports, recreation and local amenities

The sports complex on Walter-Butzek-Straße includes a full-size football pitch suitable for competitions. Several recreational areas in green surroundings, including a skate park and playgrounds, are located beside the sports hall at Kurt-Schumacher-Ring 161a. At Kurt-Schumacher-Ring 160, the Dierkow neighborhood and community center offers “JuKi,” a children’s and youth club for young people aged 6 to 26. The sports facility, open spaces and meeting place are different aspects of the district that you can consider as you find your way around.

The green spaces along Gutenbergstraße include a public barbecue area available to local residents. The Dierkow neighborhood library is located at Hannes-Meyer-Platz 7. The Dierkow weekly market is also held at Hannes-Meyer-Platz, every Wednesday from 08:00 to 14:00. If you are planning to visit the library, check its current opening hours in advance.

The townscape and the wider context of Rostock

Dierkow-Neu was built between 1983 and 1987 using large-panel construction. The rows of three- to six-story buildings form many small courtyards. The period, construction method, building heights and courtyard layout are specific points of reference for understanding the district’s architectural development.

The wider destination of Rostock has a history spanning more than 800 years and is one of the Baltic coast’s historic Hanseatic cities. The city was once a major trading center in northern Germany. A walking tour of Rostock’s historic center takes in, among other places, Universitätsplatz, the Monastery of the Holy Cross and Kröpeliner Straße, as well as Neuer Markt and St. Mary’s Church. It offers insights into architecture, urban development and Hanseatic traditions; check with the provider for the tour’s current details.

Also in the wider destination of Rostock, the Rostock Museum of Cultural History presents the city’s history in its own way: around 2,000 square meters of space display historic furniture, old paintings, city maps, and artifacts from trade and crafts. If you are planning a visit, check the current visiting arrangements in advance. These attractions in Rostock complement the picture of Dierkow-Neu, but are separate places to visit in the wider destination of Rostock.
