Old Town Hall, Schwerin

Highlight • Historical Site

The Old Town Hall in Schwerin was the town hall of the residential town of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. The listed building on the market stands on the same site as the previous buildings, which have been documented since 1338.

You think what an important building that is ... it's just the junk building. :-)

Almost everyone who is out and about in the so-called old town in Schwerin takes a picture of this house. It is completely out of the ordinary between the tall Wilhelminian style buildings.
It dates from 1698.

I would almost say that the parallel street, Mecklenburgstrasse, is the shopping mile but yes, you can let that pass 😅

The fountain “Mr. Pastorn sin Kauh” is located on the Schlachtermarkt, based on the Low German folk song and round song, 1979 by Stephan Horota, Berlin. The carillon of the Schwerin town hall has taken over the beginning of the melody.

Schwerin's Oldest Half-Timbered House

Highlight • Historical Site

Among Schwerin's streets that many don't find right away is Domhof. It's not located directly next to the cathedral, but across Puschkinstraße, beside the Schlachtermarkt (Butchers' Market). This cobblestone street, less than 60 paces long, is nonetheless quite special:

On it stands Schwerin's oldest house, a half-timbered building that now houses the State Office for Culture and Monument Preservation.

As the inscription on the decorative beam confirms, the house was built between 1562 and 1574 and survived several city fires. The inscription on the west wing reads:

"O Lord, have mercy on us and be gracious to us. Anno 1574."

The main building dates from the 18th century and was used for a long time as an inn, then in the 19th century as a hotel, which at one time bore the name
"Hotel de Paris." Since 1916 it has been used as an administrative building,
and in 1981 the monument preservation office moved in.


The magnificent front door lends the building a particularly dignified appearance.
