Grand Ducal Linen and Bedding Storehouse
On behalf of the Grand Duke, architect Hermann Willebrand created the designs for a linen chamber.
In 1878, following the demolition of the previous building, this was expanded with the addition of a “bed chamber.” Willebrand unified both structures through a consistent design featuring a simple, neoclassical stucco façade. In 1878, Grand Duke Friedrich Franz II commissioned architect Hermann Willebrand to rebuild the linen and bedding storehouse in Schwerin. The building was erected on the site of the previous structure, which no longer met modern requirements. Willebrand designed the extension of the functional building with a simple neoclassical stucco façade and linked the linen chamber and the newly added bedding chamber into a harmonious architectural ensemble. The ten-axis structure features plastered facades and a flat hipped roof. Originally used as a supply building for the court, the building is now in private use.

Architecture of the ten-axis building complex in Schwerin
The ten-axis structure is characterized by stuccoed facades and a flat hipped roof.

Equestrian monument to Frederick Francis II in Schwerin Palace Gardens
● Schwerin
The equestrian statue of the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin stands opposite the palace on a square in the palace garden. Surrounded by flowers, rose bushes and the romantic arcades, the grounds are a highlight of the Schwerin Palace Gardens. A monument to the Grand Duke After the death of the popular Grand Duke Friedrich Franz II - the builder of the palace in Schwerin - his son commissioned the construction of a monumental statue. The object was financed by donations. It is considered to be the only historical equestrian statue in the whole of Mecklenburg. An eventful history The work by the Mecklenburg sculptor Ludwig Brunow was ceremoniously unveiled in 1893 - in the presence of high-ranking state guests such as Emperor Wilhelm II and Grand Duke Vladimir of Russia, as well as all the nobility of the Mecklenburg court. Inspired by the equestrian statues of Roman emperors and the Prussian Elector in Berlin, it was designed according to the typical, mostly military-influenced taste of the late 19th century. The figures of the Grand Duke and his horse stand on a marble plinth more than 4 meters high. The ruler's virtues The plinth is surrounded by allegories of the 4 virtues of rulers: Strength, Justice, Wisdom and Faith. Two commemorative plaques show events from Frederick Francis II's reign - the construction of the new university building in Rostock and the Grand Duke's entry into Schwerin in 1871. The monument was lucky to survive two wars and two dictatorships. It escaped being melted down for war purposes, the iconoclasm after the end of the war and being scrapped.
