The Baumhaus is a listed building in the Hansestadt Wismar in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
The city built the building in the Baroque style in the first half of the 18th century. In the night or in case of danger in delay, employees of the port administration, so-called Bohmschlüter, pulled a chain into the port entrance. At the same time, they also served as a gateway to the harbor. In other cities, such as in Hamburg, a floating long timber was laid from the local tree house into the entrance.
