Wismar[1] is a city in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania which lies on the Baltic Sea coast. The historic center was designated a Unesco world cultural heritage site in 2002.

[edit] Understand

The city was established in the 13th Century during a period of Germanic colonisation of Slavic areas. Wismar was first mentioned in a document in 1229. It was part of the Hanseatic League, originally an association of North German merchants, which grew to become a trade network of about 200 ports and inland towns. During the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) Wismar came under Swedish rule, a status which it kept until 1720.
