Große Wasserstraße, Medieval street in Rostock, Germany.

Große Wasserstraße extends in a curved line from New Market past the southern wing of Rostock City Hall to Grubenstraße.

The street received its prefix 'Große' in the 19th century to differentiate it from the nearby Kleine Wasserstraße after its first mention in 1418.

The Kerkhoffhaus, constructed around 1470, and Krahnstöver House represent rare examples of Gothic merchant buildings in northern German architecture.

The street experienced increased vehicle traffic following the closure of New Market to automobiles in 2004, altering its circulation patterns.

A Renaissance portal was reconstructed between 2010 and 2012 as the entrance to the new connecting building of the town hall extension.
