Old Town of Schwerin

Highlight • Settlement

Schwerin is divided into several districts. The so-called Old Town (Altstadt) is located around Schwerin Cathedral and is the historic core. Settlement dates back a long way, and ancient traces can still be seen today. Schwerin Cathedral and the area around the market square are worth seeing.

Schwerin Castle is an absolute highlight with a long history. In 1160, the Wendish prince Niklot burned the Slavic fortress and withdrew. Henry the Lion rebuilt it, laying the foundation for the present-day city of Schwerin.

The castle now houses the state parliament and a museum.

Schwerin Castle

Highlight • Castle

This magnificent jewel is located directly on Lake Schwerin. Schwerin Castle is certainly one of the most beautiful in Germany. I couldn't decide which side is the prettiest. Whether at sunset from the lake side or with the beautifully landscaped castle park in the foreground. After the walk, you can also visit the fairytale castle from the inside as part of a guided tour.

Bertha Klingberg Statue

Highlight • Monument

On the occasion of the Federal Garden Show 2009, the redesigned square on the southern shore of Lake Burgsee in Schwerin was named after Bertha Klingberg. A plaque on it commemorates the honorary citizen. On June 2, 2010, a life-size bronze statue made by Bernd Streiter was erected at the edge of the square.

Bertha Klingberg was born in Hamburg, but grew up with her grandparents in Bützow, in today's Mecklenburg-West Pomerania. She discovered her love for nature early on. At the age of 14 she began an apprenticeship as a flower maker in Rostock. The death of her husband in World War I brought Bertha Klingberg and her son to Schwerin. After the end of the war, she earned her living as a flower woman at the Schwerin butcher's market. She always wore a traditional Rehna costume, which contributed to her status as a real "original". The people of Schwerin affectionately called her the "flower woman". In 1990, now at the age of 91, she collected 17,000 signatures in Schwerin for the appointment of her beloved city as the state capital of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Because of this achievement, in 1993 she was the first and only one to receive the ring of honor from the state capital of Schwerin. In 2002 she was made an honorary citizen of Schwerin by the city council. On November 7, 2005, Bertha Klingberg died in a nursing home in Schwerin at the age of 107.

View of Schwerin Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

Schwerin Castle was for centuries the residence of the Dukes of Mecklenburg and the Grand Dukes and today is the seat of the Landtag of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
With its fantastic location, its towers and turrets and sparkling golden battlements, it floats on its island in Lake Schwerin.
