Barlach's sculptures and paintings are exhibited in the bright exhibition building and in Barlach's studio house; the exhibition building currently has works on the theme of "movement": "Avenger", "Wanderer" and "Dancing Old Man". In the studio house there are impressive designs for World War I memorials, including the Hamburg and Magdeburg memorials, the two sculptures with which Barlach had his breakthrough, the figures of the Beethoven memorial and pictures of him. Ernst Barlach: Born in 1870, raised in the Hamburg area and in Mecklenburg, Barlach studied art and did this and that; was unsuccessful for a long time until he traveled to Russia at the age of 36 and brought inspiration and ideas from there/from the folk art there. Since then, Barlach has created down-to-earth, authentic, earth-rooted, often clunky figures and was successful with them. At 40 he went to Güstrow, at 56 he had his studio house built, and died at the age of 68. Highly recommended, Güstrow and its two Barlach museums.

The canal flows from the Inselsee towards Güstrow. From the weir next to the fisherman's house near the road bridge it becomes the Mühlbach. It then flows past the former mill to the castle moat, then continues as a town moat to the rose garden and flows into the Nebel there!
