"The foundation of Wismar, operated by traders, had the goal of creating a harbor here, and the protected location through the Wismar Bay made Wismar the ideal trading center.
Even today, the Old Harbor still hints at the splendor of the Hanseatic era, when Wismar was still one of the most powerful Hanseatic cities in Europe. Today the fishermen are in the Old Harbor; on the outskirts of the city. On the other side of the harbor, visitors dock with their yachts or ships of the White Fleet.
