Slipping through time, imagine Krummendorf in the 13th century. The Moltke family, landed gentry and powerful figures, held sway over this small village. Krummendorf today is a quiet suburb in northeast Rostock, part of the Rostock-Ost district. But its history is woven with the rhythms of the Warnow River. The river provided sustenance, a source of livelihood through fishing. This very river, however, also sparked conflict. Rostock, the burgeoning city, claimed the Warnow for its own, leading to clashes with the Krummendorf fishermen. Life in Krummendorf revolved around the river and the land. Agriculture provided a stable foundation, while the bounty of the Warnow supplemented their livelihood. Krummendorf remained a small village. Even today, with a size of about 6 square kilometers, it houses only around 300 residents. This small size, however, belies its historical significance. In 1950, Krummendorf became part of Rostock. This integration marked a significant shift, tying the village’s fate more closely to the city. While the freight yard and railway workshops provide some industry, Krummendorf retains its rural charm. Allotments, small woodlands like the Oldendorfer Tannen, and agricultural lands paint a picture of tranquil village life. Despite its integration into the city, Krummendorf maintains its unique identity. A blend of rural tranquility and historical echoes, it offers a glimpse into a past intertwined with the Warnow River and the ambitions of a growing city.
