They enjoyed a ride with friends and relatives, elegant picnics, the gentle breeze and the fresh air, without having to leave the comfort of the nearby city too far behind. Riders dressed up in elegant costumes and showed off their noble horses. Today: Today, the Hippodrome is a jewel in the Schwerin Palace Gardens.

Stavenhagen Historical Market

The historic market square forms the heart of the Reuterstadt Stavenhagen and is a central meeting point for residents and visitors alike. It is closely linked to the life and work of the famous Low German poet Fritz Reuter, whose birthplace is located directly on the market square. Today, this building houses the Fritz Reuter Literature Museum, which commemorates the life and work of the writer and is also an important cultural attraction in the town. The market square looks back on a long history and continues to shape the townscape with its historical character. Over the years, the square has been redesigned several times to adapt it to modern requirements without losing its original charm. The extensive renovation in 1995, during which the traditional large stone paving and the Reuter monument were preserved, was particularly influential. This made it possible to preserve the historical reference and at the same time create a new quality of stay. As part of the 750th anniversary of the town in 2014, the market square was once again upgraded. Since then, a newly designed green area and seating have contributed to an inviting townscape. In addition, the square has been made barrier-free in recent years so that people with limited mobility can also use it without any problems. Today, the market square presents itself as the lively center of Stavenhagen - surrounded by buildings that shape the cityscape and lovingly restored facades. It is not only the venue for numerous cultural events and markets, but also a meeting place that impressively combines past and present.

Historic hydroelectric power station

● Güstrow

-temporarily closed- The historic hydropower plant of Stadtwerke Güstrow still generates green electricity from hydropower, which is fed into the Güstrow power grid. If you are interested, Stadtwerke Güstrow offers a guided tour by prior arrangement. As the population of Güstrow grew in the 19th century, the demand for high-quality drinking water increased. The watercourse of the Nebel at the Mühlentor mill was an ideal location for a waterworks. The need for a reliable power supply also developed in Güstrow. There were often bottlenecks in the supply from the Rostock-Bramow coal-fired power station. The power of the water at the Mühlentor mill was therefore to be used to supply the town. From 1923, the Francis turbine was only used to generate electricity. The turbine was coupled with a direct current generator, which initially only supplied electricity for the pumps of the "Am Berge" waterworks. In 1926/27, the new "Am Berge" hydroelectric power station was built in the area of the Mühlentor mill. The Kaplan turbine was also installed. The Kaplan turbine in the right-hand canal drove a generator to produce electricity, while the Francis turbine in the left-hand canal drove the pumps for the elevated tank in Baustraße. From 1999 to 2000, the "Am Berge" hydroelectric power station was restored by the Güstrow public utility company. The first test run of the turbines was then started as part of EXPO 2000, at which Güstrow was an external location. The electricity generated here is fed into the Güstrow power grid .
