Old artillery barracks

📍 Schwerin

The artillery barracks in Schwerin, built between 1856 and 1861, represent the style of medieval fortress buildings and are a striking example of 19th century military architecture. Its exposed location on Ostorfer Berg and the architectural design underline the political stability of the monarchy at a time of social upheaval. Schwerin has been the main base for the Mecklenburg army since the mid-17th century. With the decision to move the residence of the state of Mecklenburg from Ludwigslust to Schwerin, the guard battalion was also stationed in the city. A barracks was requested as early as 1816, but good things take time. Construction did not begin until 1856 and the barracks were finally completed in 1861. The expansion of the garrison site also became a priority in connection with the planning of new buildings and extensions to the Schwerin residence. The protection and military sovereignty of the monarchy had to be present in the residence in a structurally efficient manner. Symbolic visual axes between the palace, the Old Garden and the barracks site were essential for the selection of the building site. Elements from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance are combined in the typical historicist buildings - inspired by Prussian barracks of the 19th century. As a monumental three-winged complex with outward-facing façades, the new barracks building presented itself impressively to the city. Representative corner towers and a triaxial projection in the middle form the part of the building facing the lake and the final background for the palace gardens. In this way, the overall architectural composition of the residential complex with a direct visual reference to and from the palace was taken into account. The Old Artillery Barracks are considered to be one of the largest planned barracks of the 19th century in Mecklenburg. The building was designed by the military architect Ludwig Wachenhusen. Up to 100 horses, carriages and guns were housed on the first floor. The rooms in the corner towers were reserved as apartments for the officers and their families. The kitchen and dining rooms, laundry store, laundry room, wheelhouse and ancillary rooms were located in the vaulted basement. The attic rooms were used as drying rooms and as dormitories during maneuvers. The style The ensemble was designed in the style of medieval fortress buildings, the fortifications of a fort. This gives the building complex with its location on the hill of Ostorfer Berg a special visual and urban significance. Architecturally, there is a striking resemblance to the arsenal at Pfaffenteich, which was built between 1840 and 1844. The Prussian cap ceilings and the staggered usage sequences inside the barracks can otherwise only be found in the Görlitz barracks and the arsenal in Vienna. In this respect, the artillery barracks in Schwerin are one of the last completely preserved buildings of this type.

Old Synagogue Hagenow

📍 Hagenow

The community buildings of the former Hagenow Jewish community have been part of the museum since 2001. Built in Hagenstraße in 1828, the ensemble around the synagogue is unique in Mecklenburg. The front building housed the religious school with teachers' and janitors' apartments as well as the ritual bath (mikvah). The imposing synagogue and the carriage shed stand in the courtyard. Although the interior of the synagogue was destroyed in the pogrom night of 1938, the substance of the buildings was preserved and they were extensively restored between 2004 and 2009. The permanent exhibition "Traces of Jewish life in Hagenow and West Mecklenburg" has been on display in the front building, now the Hanna Meinungen House, since 2010. In addition to three special exhibitions of art and photography, the Old Synagogue regularly hosts concerts, lectures and cultural events.

Old court gardener's house

📍 Schwerin

The Old Court Gardener's House was built for court gardener Christian Daniel Friedrich Klett. He received the property as a gift from the Grand Duke. It is an essential part of the former palace nursery with its preserved buildings. The Old Court Gardener's House was built for court gardener Christian Daniel Friedrich Klett. He received the property as a gift from the Grand Duke. It is an integral part of the former palace nursery with its preserved buildings. At that time In 1839, the Grand Duke commissioned Georg Adolph Demmler to build the court gardener's house, which was completed in 1840. The later court garden director Theodor Klett used the surrounding garden both to provide for his own family and to grow rare roses and perennials. Style The one-and-a-half-storey residential building with a hipped roof is crowned by a central, two-storey round gable with an inscribed tympanum. It marks the prestigious entrance and identifies the building as the residence of a court official.

Old Palace

📍 Schwerin

The Old Palace is located on the Old Garden, on the corner of Schlossstraße, with its east façade facing the palace. The Old Palace, also known as the Alexandrinenpalais or Erbprinzenpalais, has been an important part of Schwerin's residential ensemble since 1801 due to its courtly use. It is located on the west side of the Old Garden, the castle grounds of the Grand Ducal Palace: the Old Palace, also known as the Hereditary Prince's Palace or the Widow's Palace. The half-timbered building between the State Chancellery and the theater has many names - and history tells us why. The palace was built around 1705 for Hereditary Prince Karl Leopold. Hereditary Prince Franz also lived in it until he took over the reins of government. In 1799, the Erbprinzenpalais was modernized. Friedrich Franz had commissioned Johann Georg Barca to do this. He was to renovate everything for Hereditary Prince Friedrich Ludwig and his wife Helena Pavlovna and extend it by four axes to the north. Around 40 years later, another extension was added, this time for Grand Duke Paul Friedrich, who wanted to set up his temporary residence there in 1837. Georg Adolph Demmler carried out this conversion. After the Grand Duke's sudden death in 1842, his widow Grand Duchess Alexandrine lived here until her death in 1892. The style The two-storey palace is half-timbered. It has a hipped roof with large three-axis mansard gables and dwarf houses. The representative two-winged complex has been preserved to this day. The building is a listed building and is now the seat of the state parliament administration. Architecture and style The palace has two storeys and is built in the half-timbered style. It has a hipped roof characterized by large, three-axis mansard gables and dwarf houses. The representative two-winged complex of the palace has been preserved in its original state to this day. Today, the building is used by the state parliament administration.

Old town hall in Parchim

📍 Parchim

The impressive Parchim town hall with its unique cellar dates back to the 14th century. The Parchim town hall rises impressively from the market square. It is a building with an impressive history and tradition. As the actual administrative seat, it was also the seat of a court, a food store for foreign troops, a stable, a barn and a wine cellar. The cellar with its cross-ribbed vaults, which are supported in the middle of the room by massive brick octagonal pillars, still retains much of its former appearance. This Gothic town hall cellar is unparalleled far and wide. The town hall is part of the European Route of Brick Gothic. Guided tours of the town hall for groups, especially school classes or kindergarten groups, can be organized on request. The robber Vieting visits the town hall cellar as part of the "Pea Trail" costume tour. Soon after Parchim became a town (documented in 1225/26), it built a town hall on the market square and the independent new town of Parchim, which was founded around 1246, also had its own town hall. After the unification of the two parts of the town in 1282, meetings of the councillors took place in the town hall of the old town. In 1481, the town hall became the seat of the town's financial administration. From 1667 to 1708, the town hall housed the highest regional court, the Mecklenburg Land and Court Court. However, the town administration was primarily based in the new Ratsbude, built in 1669, which no longer exists today. From the fall of 1818, the town hall was used to house the High Court of Appeal for Mecklenburg-Schwerin and Mecklenburg-Strelitz. On 01.10.1840, the Mecklenburg Supreme Court of Appeal was moved from Parchim to Rostock. Since then, the town hall has once again been the seat of the administration and still is today. The town hall was completely renovated between 1993 and 1998.

Arsenal

📍 Schwerin

The Grand Ducal Arsenal on the south-western bank of the Pfaffenteich in Schwerin, built between 1840 and 1844, is an impressive example of Tudor Gothic architecture. Today it serves as the seat of the state's Ministry of the Interior and combines historical architecture with a central location on the waterfront. The impressive Grand Ducal ensemble of the Arsenal stretches along the south-western bank of the Pfaffenteich. The imposing building draws the flâneur's gaze across the water and captures it. Georg Adolf Demmler drew up the plans for the Arsenal. These were implemented between 1840 and 1844 by the architects Herrmann Willebrand and Gottlieb Ruge - as an arsenal. The Grand Duke's decision to move his residence from Ludwigslust to Schwerin was also linked to the relocation of the garrison of the guard regiment. The new building was therefore to become both barracks and armory - a task for Demmler. The building included all the facilities required for military administration, namely the military court, the prison, the recruitment commission, classrooms, training rooms for the crews, a dining facility and stables. The Pfaffenteich, which had previously been located outside, was now included in the planning as an urban development motif, as further buildings soon developed there following the arsenal. As a result, the western bank had to be firmly enclosed. Grand Ducal administrative building projects provided the reason for the fortification of the area and the start of the development of the buildings. To the west, the medieval town around the historic Pfaffenteich had hardly grown at all. After the First World War, the police were housed in the Arsenal. Refugees found shelter here after the end of the Second World War until 1947. The Schwerin district administration used the large administrative complex as the headquarters of the People's Police after the GDR was founded. The style The style of the Arsenal is based on Tudor Gothic, the English late Gothic style, which is typical of the first decades of historicism. The massive towers of the central risalit and the corner pavilions are connected to the elegant canted turrets by the entire battlement crowning the eaves. The building gets its castle-like character from the continuous ashlar jointing of the wall surfaces. Refined in keeping with the times with a light coat of paint, the grand ducal administrative complex had the appearance of a representative stately palace on the waterfront. In the course of the complete renovation, the impression of a representative, stately palace on the water was lost. The Arsenal was initially used as an arsenal and after the First World War as police barracks. During the Third Reich, it was known as the Adolf Hitler Barracks. From 1945 to July 1947, it served as accommodation for refugees. After that, the building was the headquarters of the district authority of the German People's Police. Since 1990, the Arsenal has been the seat of the State Ministry of the Interior.

Train station and prince's room

📍 Schwerin

Schwerin's main railway station, opened in 1847 and rich in historical architecture, is located northwest of the old town and is an important transportation hub. Its imposing station building and luxurious princely rooms are reminiscent of its imperial past. After extensive renovations, it received the "Station of the Year" award in 2008. The main station is located to the north-west of the old town. Mecklenburg's first railroad line was sealed on November 8, 1841 by a state treaty between the five states of Prussia, Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Denmark, Lübeck and Hamburg as part of the new Berlin - Hamburg project. With Grand Duke Friedrich Franz II assuming half of the costs, the line was extended from today's Hagenow-Land past Ludwigslust and Grabow to Boitzenburg and later to Kiel. On March 10, 1846, the Mecklenburg Friedrich-Franz-Eisenbahn received the concession to build the Hagenow - Schwerin line and secured the connection to the Berlin - Hamburg line. Like the Prussian lines, it remained under its own administration until 1945. At that time The station at Luisenplatz was inaugurated on May 1, 1847. It had an external tunnel with two entrance pavilions. They were replaced in 1889 - 1890 by the current reception hall and extended by the adjoining Fürstenzimmer to the south. To the south of the reception building was a separate tunnel with entrances towards the city and Paulstadt. In 1927, the representative entrance hall was extended below the tracks and the external tunnel was filled in. The fountain with the bronze sculpture, Rescue from distress at sea, 1910 by Hugo Berwald was erected on Luisenplatz. Style According to plans by Ernst Möller, the reception building and the tunnel entrances were designed in a historicist style. The central pavilion of the reception hall is connected to two corner pavilions by two lower intermediate elements. The furnished royal rooms are given a wall-mounted, historicist interior for the reception of royalty or their imperial guests. Location After a thorough renovation, Schwerin Central Station is reopened in 2005 and awarded the title of Station of the Year (cities under 100,000) in 2008. The station forecourt is renamed Grunthalplatz in memory of Marianne Grunthal, who was hanged by SS henchmen from a lamppost on the station square shortly before the end of the Second World War in 1945. 14,000 travelers use Schwerin Central Station every day.

Banzkower potato stone mouse

📍 Banzkow

The Banzkow potato mouse from Stein has been welcoming guests from near and far to the village square since 2000. The mouse is originally dressed for special occasions in village life. It stands in the middle of several boulders typical of the region, which bear the medals won in regional, national and European competitions. The potato mouse was "born" as a permanent mascot for the 700th anniversary celebrations of the municipality of Banzkow in 2000. Today it is available as a small souvenir, as a large wooden mouse from a Lewit oak tree in the Mirow district, as a stone mouse on the Banzkow village square and as a living original with an identity card as resident no. 2235. The stone mouse is made up of granite stones that "migrated" from Finland to this area 1.89 billion years ago during the Ice Age. The individual body parts were found like this and have therefore hardly been worked on. The public baptism of the stone mouse with sturgeon water took place in 2005. To mark the occasion, a schoolgirl wrote "The Fairy Tale of the Potato Mouse", which was printed with pupils' drawings from a competition. The living potato mouse is present at all the highlights of the municipality and the office. She is also in great demand and popular as an ambassador for the region in her rustic, mobile, thatched cottage. She has already been a guest in over 20 European countries and at many trade fairs to promote Lewitz and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. In 2014, for example, she visited all the twin towns of the state capital Schwerin, the partner regions of the state of MV and the partner municipality of Banzkow on a trip around the Baltic Sea. This trip not only served to revitalize partnership relations and tourism, but above all to promote the idea of friendship in Europe. The information board next to the stone mouse provides information about interesting excursion destinations in and around Banzkow, as well as in the entire Lewitz nature reserve.

Bertha Klingberg sculpture

📍 Schwerin Ostorf

An old lady cast in bronze sits smiling on the former entrance square to Buga 2009, with a bouquet of flowers in her lap and a watering can next to her. This is how the people of Schwerin knew her, their Bertha Klingberg, who was made an honorary citizen of the Mecklenburg state capital in 2002. Bertha Klingberg was born in Hamburg in 1898, but grew up in Bützow with her grandparents. She was often in Schwerin at this time. Her love of flowers and nature also took the then ten-year-old to the castle gardens in Schwerin, where she met the Grand Duke. He was taken with the little girl and allowed her to visit the palace garden whenever she wanted. She later moved to Schwerin completely. Today, she sits smiling on the wall on the shore of the castle lake and looks out over the square named after her, as if she had guessed that she would one day receive so much honor. For decades, Bertha Klingberg had done nothing but sell flowers in Schwerin's old town. She always did this in the traditional Rehna costume. When she launched the petition "Our Schwerin must become the state capital" in 1990 at the age of 91, she had not only won the hearts of the 17,000 signatories. She had long been regarded as a Schwerin original because of her appearance. She died in 2005 at the age of 107. Her greatest wish, to open the 2009 Federal Garden Show, was no longer fulfilled. Instead, a life-size monument was erected to her in June 2010 - a bronze sculpture by sculptor Bernd Streiter.

The oldest preserved fortified castle in Mecklenburg is located in Neustadt-Glewe. In the museum, visitors of all ages can not only visit the tower with its deep dungeon, the guard and defense room and the restored living room, but also learn interesting facts about life in the castle and the town.

Around 1250, the Count of Schwerin had a castle built on a natural Elde dune on the outskirts of Neustadt-Glewe. It consists of the Old and New Houses, a curtain wall with a gate and battlements as well as a keep with shooting holes, a dungeon, a knight's hall and an abbey oriel. While the Old House served as living quarters for the castle bailiffs and servants, the ducal residence was located in the New House.
