The Rostock registry office, also known as the Kerkhoffhaus, was founded in 1470 by the councilor Bartolt Kerkoff. The current front of the house, with its generous terracotta decorations, was not built until after Kerkhoff's death in the 16th century.

This little gem is hidden behind the town hall.
The richly decorated, seven-axis stepped gable still bears witness to the fact that a wealthy patrician once had his home here.
The mayor of Rostock, Bertold Kerkhoff, had it built in 1470.
Today, the Hanseatic city's registry office and the city archives are located here.
The city archives contain, among other things, over 3,000 documents, 22,000 pictures and 2,500 linear meters of official records.
The most famous piece is probably the Vicke-Schorler roll, an approximately 18m long roll made up of assembled sheets of paper with pen drawings of the city's houses.

Tucked away on a side street is this beautiful house, which has been wonderfully restored. Immediately after reunification, it was still a semi-ruin.

Still a half-ruin after the fall of the Berlin Wall, this house has been beautifully restored and is now a gem.
