Tree house

Exhibitions and Galleries, Historical Buildings

The tree house is a baroque building from the middle of the 18th century. The building with the two Swedish heads in front of the portal takes its name from the turnpike that used to be here.

The eponymous "tree" was a floating long timber that served to close off the harbor entrance. It was closed during the night or in case of imminent danger.

The Baumhaus am Alten Hafen in Wismar opened the permanent exhibition "Maritime Traditions Center" on 05.04.2019. The exhibition offers insights into the development of the Hanseatic City of Wismar during the Hanseatic period, the replica of the "Poeler Kogge", the restoration of the pilot schooner "Atalanta" and the fishing cutter "Marlen", as well as the eventful shipbuilding in Wismar with the development of the Wismar shipyard from 1946 to the present day. Impressive exhibits show the love for the traditional ships and the pride in shipbuilding in Wismar.
