Traffic chaos in Greifswald: MV day brings closures and diversions!

From June 20th to 22nd, 2025, Greifswald will be the venue for the 15th Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania Day. A colorful program and numerous events await visitors, but the anticipation is accompanied by extensive traffic closures in the city center. These measures will begin on Friday, June 20, 2025 at 4:00 p.m. and are intended to redirect through traffic and ensure the safety of participants. The Hansering will be closed in sections and other main streets such as Salinenstrasse and Friedrich-Loeffler-Strasse will also be affected, as [Bild] reports.

There are special instructions for drivers who want to go into the city center on the weekend: The entrances to the event areas will be closed during the entire event period. Pedestrians are asked to use alternative routes as it is not possible to pass from Kaplaufenstrasse to Europakreuzung. The city of Greifswald also recommends traveling as environmentally friendly as possible by bike or public transport.

Cultural highlights and events

However, MV Day is not the only attraction in Greifswald during this time. The Greifswalder Bachwoche, the oldest music festival in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, will take place from June 16th to 22nd, 2025. This festival, founded in 1946, specializes in sacred music and offers numerous concerts and other events that enrich the cultural life of the city.

In addition, 2025 will be a very special year for Greifswald: the 250th birthday of the famous painter Caspar David Friedrich will be celebrated, whose birthplace is in Greifswald. The Greifswalder Literary Spring and the Nordic Sound also set cultural accents. From March to May, the city expects a variety of events that will attract both locals and tourists. [Greifswald.de] provides detailed information about this.

Visitors who want to experience MV Day should be well informed about the traffic situation and be prepared to use alternative routes. Information and updates can still be found on the official MV Tag website.
