A Hanseatic City With a University From 1419

Rostock's university was founded in 1419, making it the oldest in the Baltic region and among the oldest in northern Europe. The city was a major Hanseatic port and rebuilt its centre after heavy bombing in 1942.

The clock: Rostock keeps UTC+1 at 54° north, where midsummer twilight never fully ends — the sun dips too shallowly below the horizon for true darkness.
