history

Surname

Alexandrine of Prussia (1803-1892) .jpg

The street was named around 1840/41 after the Hereditary Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg Alexandrine of Prussia (1803-1892) , the fourth daughter of the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm III. She married the later (1837–1842) Grand Duke of Mecklenburg -Schwerin Paul Friedrich . The couple moved the ducal court from Ludwigslust to Schwerin in 1837 . Some new streets were named on the suggestion of Alexandrine.

During the GDR era, the street was called Karl-Marx- Strasse after the philosopher, economist and protagonist of the labor movement. There is now a Karl-Marx-Allee (B 321) in the Großer Dreesch district .

development

No. 2 to 10
No. 2

The 12 hectare Pfaffenteich was created by filling a dam (later partly the Spieltordamm), probably shortly after the city was founded in the 12th century as a mill pond for a watermill that was occupied in 1178. The count's mill was in operation until the 19th century. At the Aubach there was a second mill owned by the cathedral chapter (Bischofsmühle), which was in operation until 1914.

After Grand Duke Paul Friedrich moved the ducal court from Ludwigslust to Schwerin in 1837 , the city expanded in all directions. Court builder Georg Adolf Demmler began in 1838/39 with the straightening of the Pfaffenteich bank, the filling and paving of Alexandrinenstrasse and from 1840 with the development of the south and west banks. The arsenal was completed in 1844. More buildings were built on the street soon after. The ducal art collection was initially housed in two houses on Alexandrinenstrasse from 1845. It was not until 1882 that the collection came to the Grand Ducal Museum .

After 1991 the houses were also or entirely used by offices by u. a. public administrations, practices and chambers; in the arsenal is the seat of the interior ministry.

In terms of traffic , the street is affected by bus line 11 operated by Nahverkehr Schwerin GmbH (NVS) and accessed by tram line 1 and other bus lines on the parallel Wismarschen Straße .
