Exchanging money in Germany

[chcats]

My husband and I will be in Warnemunde on a cruise in July and plan on visiting Rostock, Schwerin, and Wismar. We wanted to know where he can exchange German marks for euros somewhere besides a Deutsche bank.

Thanks for any input.

Deutsche Bank = Commercial Bank - they only do it for their customers.

 

You need to find a branch of Deutsche BUNDESbank (= German National Bank) which are called Landeszentralbank (= State Central Bank):

 

Warnemünde

Richard-Wagner-Straße 2

about a 15 minute walk from the cruise terminal

 

opens Monday to Friday 08.30 hrs to 13.00 hrs

 

I hope that you spend your tiime with the scouts...

 

If you follow my instructions to the the bike rental in Kirchenstraße:

then you continues right left to the market square

at the end of the market square (behind the church) the street continues as

Mühlenstraße which will meet Richard-Wagner-Straße on the left

 

But before you go...

 

If some coins are from this list:

You better do not go there but come to me...

 

Just between "friends": "NO VALUE"... Ho Ho Ho...

With friends like me you do not need enimies...

 

so make sure that your money is all from this list...

and...

 

when you are anyway there ask if they have maybe this for you:

It's the castle of Schwerin - and could be a nice souvenir for your visit in Germany.

Heinbloed,

Thanks for the reply. Your information as usual was very helpfull. My husband is a coin collector so he has gotten many foreign coins cheap and it would be nice if we could spend some of them on this trip. I am sure we will be picking up some souvenir coins in Germany as well.
