Bützow, in the homeland of the Obotrites, is a small town with a great past. It was first mentioned in a document in 1229 and was the capital of the diocese of Schwerin for centuries. Bützow was once the seat of a bishop, a university town and the seat of the criminal court. Wilhelm Raabe created a lasting literary monument to the town with his novella "The Geese of Bützow", based on the goose war fought between the magistrate and the townspeople. The ensemble of the market square with the Tudor-style town hall built in 1849 and the 13th century collegiate church, which was declared a monument of national importance in 2007, is of cultural and historical interest. In the history-steeped Krumme Haus, visitors encounter history in stories, letters and figures, facts and myths, united as a friendly combination of the local history museum, the library and the documentation on the political abuse of the penal system in Bützow. Locals and visitors alike are attracted to the leisure and family park in a beautiful park area with the Bützow miniature town, a cypress labyrinth and a great children's playground. 145 reconstructed buildings, ramparts, streets and bodies of water show the old town of Bützow in the years between 1850 and 1900. Other special offers are the changing art exhibitions in the Kunsthaus, readings, concerts, cinema screenings and culinary offers in, for example: Krummen Haus, Galeriecafé Stine or Kultursalon des PferdemarktQuartier e.V.. also in the Ice Pavilion at the old harbor in Bützow: Friday: 13:00 - 18:00 Saturday: 10:00 - 18:00 Sunday: 10:00 - 18:00 Opening hours: Monday and Wednesday: 09:00 - 15:00 Tuesday and Thursday: 09:00 - 17:00 Friday: 09:00 - 13:00 Saturday: 1st and 3rd of the month 09:00 - 12:00
