Location of Lewenberg in Schwerin |
Lewenberg is a district of Schwerin , the state capital of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . It is located in the north of Schwerin's old town and borders the Ziegelsee to the east . In the southwest it borders on the Weststadt district , in the northwest on Medewege and in the south on the Paulsstadt district .
history
The place name Lewenberg is first mentioned in 1284 in the document of the settlement between Count Helmold III. occupied by Schwerin and Bishop Hermann I as Leuenberch , where it concerns the border of the Bischofsmühle (Schwerin) , first mentioned in 1278 . All goods traffic between Schwerin and Wismar ran along the old road below the Mühlenberg to Wismarer Chaussee. The place went under in the Middle Ages; the name was kept as the name of a knoll , which was called Lehmberg on the Schmettauschen map around 1790 and popularly until the 19th century .
In 1867 Johann Basedow , who had worked as a mad teacher at the Grand Ducal Insane Asylum on Sachsenberg since 1854, convinced Grand Duke Friedrich Franz II to found his own asylum for children.
A little south of it and located on the other side of Wirmarschen Strasse ( Wismarsche Strasse 298), it was given its own building and named the Lewenberg Educational and Care Institution for Mentally Weak Children . Basedow headed the facility for 32 years until his death in 1899. In 1875 the site was given municipal rights . In 1939 the Sachsenberg sanatorium was incorporated into the city. The Lewenberg children's home was relocated to the Sachsenberg sanatorium and nursing home in July / August 1941 as a so-called children's department ; At least 300 mentally and physically handicapped children were killed by active or passive killings by the end of the war in 1945. The name Lewenberg therefore often stood for the entire hospital grounds or the psychiatric facility (s). Today they are part of the Helios Kliniken Schwerin .
The area of the children's home was used by the district hospital after 1945; it was later also called the Lewenberg Clinic .
