    The historic Kerkhofhaus is one of the most famous Rostock architectural monuments. The gabled house is particularly impressive with its beautiful terracotta decorations and the artistically designed facade. The former Rostock mayor Bartold Kerkhof († 1510) had this building built and then used it as a residential building. The Kerkhoff family lived in this house for over 125 years. At the beginning of the 20th century, the city of Rostock bought the space behind the town hall and with it the building, which was then rather dilapidated. The Kerkhofhaus was rebuilt from 1902 to 1907 as a city archive and registry office. To this day it houses the city archive of the Hanseatic City of Rostock with its huge documentation of over 800 years of city history (including over 3000 running meters of official books and over 8000 documents).
