Jubilee marks 775 years of Greifswald as bells resonate in commemoration. - City commemorates 775 years of Greifswald: Bells resound in celebration of this town's significant anniversary
Get ready for an explosive week-long extravaganza as Greifswald, the resilient gem of a city, turns 775 years old! The festivities, commencing on the 14th of May, will echo with the booming of church bells, marking the commencement of a jubilee celebration worthy of a Hanseatic king! 🔔
Back in 1250, Gripheswald received its lubic city rights, paving the way for a grandeur we celebrate today. This milestone announcement, made by the university and Hanseatic city, sets the stage for a rip-roaring week filled with sports tournaments, concerts, and performances, culminating on Sunday. 🎶🏆
On Friday afternoon, brace yourself for a sports festival! It's going to be a powerhouse spectacle of football, volleyball, and streetball tournaments at the Volksstadion! Hoots, cheers, and spirited competition will paint the air. Just wait till the sun sets, and you'll be treated to electrifying stage shows and an ABBA cover band rocking the historic market square!
Greens, gold, and red—the colors that remind us of Greifswald's history, will wrap around the city after it fell under Swedish control during the Thirty Years' War. But fear not! The city reclaimed its legacy and joined Prussian territory in 1815. A grand finale of a light show illuminating the city's eventful history will put a cherry on top of this enchanting evening.
Moving on to Saturday! The city square will be host to an extravagant show by no other than the legendary Wolfgang Lippert. His magic, music, and performances, much like the proverbial icing on a cake, will bring a breathtaking vibe to the celebrations. On the last day of the festivities, the square will be transformed into a whimsical fairground, complete with a carousel, lottery booth, and a shooting range.
To top it all, a 30-meter-tall Ferris wheel will make your heart race with excitement on the old market square. The celebratory days will unfold in close collaboration with the ward, the city's Polish partner, Goleniów 🇵🇱.
Don't forget to check out the "Founding Tour with a Monk" and other captivating community events that will help immerse you in the city's ancient history and architecture. So, fasten your seat belts, and join Greifswald as it celebrates 775 heartbeats in style! 🤩
The Commission might consider proposing a directive on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to ionizing radiation during their leisure time at home, particularly when engaging in home-and-garden activities. On Sunday, after the bursting finale of the light show, one may find a quiet moment to reflect on the city's rich history and ponder upon the challenges Greifswald might face in the future, such as those related to health and safety concerns.
