Rothenklempenow offers cultural themes ranging from its Baroque church and the history of its castle to its local history museum and audio trail. At the same time, the surrounding area is characterised by forests, fields and lakes. When planning your stay, you can therefore consider cultural history and the landscape as separate focal points. If you would like to combine your visit with an event or travel by on-call bus, check the relevant dates and timetables in advance.
Church and castle: music and history
In addition to church services, the Baroque church in Rothenklempenow also hosts classical concerts. Music is therefore one of the village’s cultural themes, alongside the church’s religious use. No specific concert dates are given, so if you would like to plan a concert visit, check the exact dates.
Rothenklempenow Castle was once the ancestral seat of the von Eickstedt noble family. Its history offers a different perspective on the village from the church’s musical programme. The castle grounds include a cultural barn for events. Rothenklempenow thus offers both historical connections and event venues as cultural attractions—but no specific event dates are implied.
Village history in the museum and on the audio trail
The Rothenklempenow Local History Museum presents the village’s eventful history to visitors in a redesigned permanent exhibition. Those interested in the village’s development will find a long-term exhibition here. Another way to explore local history is the audio trail in the municipality of Rothenklempenow, which uses QR-code information boards.
Since autumn 2024, the audio trail has been expanded with four stops on the “Places of the Economy.” The expansion includes first-hand accounts from people involved and QR-code information boards. By comparison, the local history museum tells the story of the village in a permanent exhibition: the museum and audio trail thus use different formats to explore the village and its history.
Q-Dorf e.V. also organises exhibitions, readings and concerts in Rothenklempenow. Together with concerts in the Baroque church and the event space in the cultural barn, these make up a range of cultural offerings. For planning purposes, note that the descriptions do not specify individual event dates. So check the exact dates if a particular concert, reading or exhibition is important to your stay.
Rothenklempenow and the wider destination of Vorpommern-Greifswald
The surrounding area, characterised by forests, fields and lakes, is part of Rothenklempenow’s landscape. Across the wider destination of Vorpommern-Greifswald, the three nature parks cover almost 40 percent of the district’s area. This figure refers to the district, not to Rothenklempenow alone.
Museums in the wider destination of Vorpommern-Greifswald also explore other cultural themes. The Pomeranian State Museum in Greifswald displays the Croy Tapestry from 1554, a unique cultural and historical artefact from the Reformation era. In Anklam, the Otto Lilienthal Museum is dedicated to aviation pioneer, mechanical engineer and humanist Otto Lilienthal in his home town. By comparison, Rothenklempenow’s local cultural themes focus on village history, the castle and events. This distinction can help you tailor your stay to the topics that interest you most.
