Reading and Learning in the Heart of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania
Stavenhagen is located in the interior of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and is an ideal starting point for exploring the region. Anyone visiting coastal towns like Rostock, Stralsund, Greifswald, or the Fischland-Darß-Zingst peninsula and are looking for a bit of peace and quiet in between, can browse the library in Stavenhagen and prepare for the next leg of their journey—perhaps with a travel guide or a regional book about the Baltic Sea coast.
Stavenhagen and the City Library as a Cultural Hub
In addition to its role as a lending library, the Stavenhagen City Library also serves as a cultural meeting place for locals and visitors to the town.

Other attractions in Stavenhagen
Stavenhagen Castle and Castle Park
● Stavenhagen
Stavenhagen Castle in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern was built in 1740 in the Baroque style on the ruins of a burnt-down castle. It was never intended as a dowager's residence, but was used as a district court, school and later as an administrative building. Today it houses the registry office and the municipal administration and is situated in a restored castle park. The current building stands on the foundations of an older castle complex and was originally intended as a residence for a dowager duke - a plan that was never realized. Instead, the castle developed into a central administrative location over the centuries. It served as an official residence and later as a school and accommodation for refugees after the Second World War. A striking stair tower was added in 1890 and still characterizes the silhouette of the building today. After reunification, the castle was extensively renovated and has been used by the town of Stavenhagen ever since. Today it houses the town council and the registry office. The adjoining castle park with its old trees and restored wall was redesigned between 2001 and 2006 and invites visitors to linger. Stavenhagen Castle combines historical substance with modern use - a lively place with history.
Old Synagogue Stavenhagen
● Stavenhagen
The synagogue was probably built in the 18th century and was used by the Jewish community of the town of Stavenhagen until 1938. The front building served as a residence for the community's own rabbi. The half-timbered building contains a large prayer hall and an entrance hall, from which a staircase leads to the women's gallery. The synagogue was built in the backyard of the community center, i.e. hidden, to protect it from the hostile eyes of the Christian village community at the time. It was only when the Jews were fully emancipated that they built a representative synagogue that was visible in the street. It is special above all because it is one of the few synagogues to have survived the Kristallnacht on November 9, 1938. It was then forced to be sold and was used as a carpentry workshop until the 1980s. In 2011, the "Old Synagogue Stavenhagen" association was founded with the aim of renovating the historic building, which has already achieved monument status. Previous efforts to renovate the building had failed for financial reasons. Anyone interested in visiting the synagogue should contact Klaus Salewski by email or telephone: Sali-45@web.de or 0152 27779181
