Beste Aussichten.
Greifswald is a great place to live. Every district of Greifswald has its own special charm and offers something for every taste. Whether you prefer an urban setting close to the city center, a modern lifestyle on the outskirts, an idyllic location by the Ryck River, or a nature-oriented environment in the Greifswald region, we will help you fulfill your individual housing desires. Greifswald is known as a city of short distances. No matter which district you decide to settle in, you don’t necessarily need a car; all destinations are easily accessible by bike.
A change of residence can be stressful, and searching through the numerous real estate portals can be challenging.
In addition to an overview of the various housing providers, we can collaborate with you and the municipal housing company, WVG mbH Greifswald, to find your new home.
Do you want your new home to be barrier-free? Are you looking for an apartment that accommodates both you and a four-legged family member? No problem! Together, we will create your apartment application so that our beautiful region quickly becomes your home.
After the move, there are still some important tasks to handle, such as registering your residence, opening a bank account, or signing up for electricity service. Thanks to our partners, we provide you with a wide range of information to ensure a smooth transition.

Quality of life for everyone.
Work-life balance comes naturally to us. The mentality and the connection of the people with the Greifswald region, the blend of modernity and tradition, and fulfilling work – this is sustainable quality of life. Greifswald and its surroundings offer space for peace, retreat, and personal development far from noise and hustle. Combine work, family, and leisure in a relaxed and individual way.
Moving to a new city means a change for every family member, and we understand that. Organizing many things for the little ones is also necessary. Besides finding a childcare spot in a daycare center or with a childminder, choosing the right school is often a challenge. Sometimes you need insider tips and regional knowledge to make the best decision.
Starting with an overview of the school system in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, to a summary of various schools with their focuses, we provide you with important information for changing schools.
We repeatedly receive inquiries on topics such as elderly care, assisted living, or requests for information about care facilities. We are happy to assist you with these concerns as well. Count on us!

Space for Natural Talents.
The Greifswald region offers more than just a brief holiday feeling. Here, you will find a variety of opportunities for personal fulfillment, not just professionally. There are numerous clubs where people come together or volunteer. People know each other, are interested in one another, and there’s always time for a chat. Maritime sports like surfing, sailing, and rowing are especially popular, as well as football and handball.
In addition to sports activities, there is a wide range of cultural highlights. What are you in the mood for? Perhaps a visit to the Pomeranian State Museum, a concert, a reading, or a theater performance? Greifswald offers a full program of events throughout the year.
Alongside the popular Fisherman’s Festival Gaffelrigg in the unique fishing village of Wieck, regular events such as the Polish Market, the Nordic Sound, or the Jazz Festival in the Eldena Monastery Ruins take place.
And if you’re just looking to relax, the beach is right at your doorstep. It’s no wonder that Vorpommern-Greifswald is one of Germany’s most popular holiday regions.
We look forward to welcoming you to Greifswald.
