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

Old Synagogue Krakow am See

📍 Krakow am See

The Old Synagogue is one of the few remaining synagogues in north-eastern Germany.

On December 12, 1866, the synagogue was solemnly consecrated by 110 members of the community. In 1920, it was sold to the town because the Jewish community had dwindled considerably. It was then used as a gymnasium for many years until it was opened to the public in 1995 after extensive renovation work. Today it is home to the cultural department of the town of Krakow am See and the "Old Synagogue" cultural association. Exhibitions, concerts and readings take place regularly in the former prayer hall.

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

The heart of the city! With a single panoramic view, 800 years of history come to life here. Here, in the heart of the old town, architectural monuments from the Hanseatic, Swedish, Prussian and more recent periods stand side by side.

This is also where the city's landmark - the town hall ensemble - presents itself from its most impressive side. The unique façade of the town hall and the mighty Nikolaikirche church right next to it are best viewed and, of course, photographed from the Alter Markt.

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.

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.
