Fenway Leo Rostock, Germany

Rostock, situated on the Warnow river, is the largest city in the north German state Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

The medieval astronomical clock in Rostock, built in 1472 by Hans Düringer, a clockmaker from Nuremberg, is the only one of its kind still in working condition with its original clockworks.

The clock consists of three partitions:
Top: Apostle-go-round giving an hourly performance of the apostles crossing before Jesus for a blessing before entry into eternal bliss, and the last, Judas, is shut out.
Middle: Clock with daily time, zodiac, moon phases, and month.
Bottom: Calendar, which is valid until 2017.

In the 11th century Polabian Slavs founded a settlement at the Warnow river called Roztoc; the name Rostock is derived from that designation.

The Danish king Valdemar I set the town aflame in 1161. Afterwards the place was settled by German traders.

In 1226, Rostock became the seat of the Lordship of Rostock, which survived for almost a century.

The formerly independent fishing village of Warnemünde at the Baltic Sea became a part of Rostock in 1323, to secure the city's access to the Baltic Sea.

In 1419, one of the earliest universities in Europe, the University of Rostock, was founded.

The strategic location of Rostock provoked the envy of its rivals. Danes and Swedes occupied the city twice, first during the Thirty Years' War (1618–48) and again from 1700 to 1721. Later, the French, under Napoleon, occupied the town for about a decade until 1813.

In the early 1930s, the Nazi Party began to gain among Rostock's voters, many of whom had suffered economic hardship during the 1920s.

During World War II, Rostock was subjected to repeated and increasingly heavy bombing attacks, especially by the British Royal Air Force.

After the war, the city—now in the German Democratic Republic—became East Germany's largest seaport, and the now state-owned shipyards in the district of Warnemünde were expanded.

Today, Rostock and Warnemünde are significant tourist destinations on the Baltic Sea.
