Güstrow [ ˈgʏstroː ] is the seventh largest city in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and the district town of the Rostock district with around 30,000 inhabitants . The city is the seat of the Güstrow-Land office , to which 14 municipalities belong, but are not officially themselves . It is one of the 18 medium-sized centers in the country and has officially been named "Barlachstadt" after the sculptor Ernst Barlach since 2006 .
As a historic residential town , Güstrow is known for its castle , its well-preserved old town with many valuable buildings and its cathedral with the "floating" from Barlach. The cathedral school in Güstrow , founded in 1236, is one of the oldest schools in the German-speaking area, and since 1991 the city has also been the seat of the University of Applied Sciences for Public Administration, Police and Justice of the State of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
geography
Güstrow is located about 40 kilometers south of the Rostock an der Nebel regiopolis , a tributary of the Warnow in central Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . The Bützow-Güstrow Canal , which runs parallel to the Nebel to the west, is a navigable connection to the Warnow used by water tourists. North of the Güstrow district of Klueß, the Lößnitz flows into the Nebel. With its lakes ( Inselsee with the Schöninsel , Sumpfsee , Parumer See , Grundloser See and Gliner See) and the Heidbergen, Güstrow has an area rich in lakes and forests.
The area around and in Güstrow is very deep, an average of 14 m above sea level. NN . The highest elevations are to be found southeast of the city with the Rehberg ( 55.1 m above sea level ), the Mesterberg ( 54.8 m ), the highest point of which, however, is already just beyond the municipal boundary and the Heidberge, which is up to 46.9 meters high . The deepest points are in the west on the banks of the Parumer See , whose water level is only 3.6 meters above that of the sea, and the Bützow-Güstrow Canal , which crosses the city limits there.
The hilly landscape around Güstrow is a glacial terminal moraine landscape , which was mainly shaped by the most recent Ice Age, the Vistula Ice Age, around 10,000 years ago. The characteristics of an earlier Ice Age can be found all around Güstrow: the Heidberge as terminal moraine, the many former meltwater lakes and some boulders that were dragged along from Scandinavia over the Baltic Sea during the Ice Age .

history
Origin of name
The name Güstrow comes from Old Polish , from Guščerov (lizard place), which is derived from guščer for lizard. Historically, Güstrow was also called by its Latin name: Gustrovium .
middle Ages
Güstrow must have existed around 1100, as Bishop Otto von Bamberg sent two priests there in 1128. In 1219 the Wendish castle Güstrow was built on the site of the current castle in the midst of swampy meadows . According to the German city book and other sources, Prince Heinrich von Rostock ( Heinrich Borwin II. ) Founded the city of Güstrow around 1219 to 1226 and granted it Schwerin city rights . In 1226, already lying on his deathbed, Heinrich Borwin II donated the cathedral as a collegiate church . In 1228 the sons of Heinrich Borwin II confirmed Schwerin's town charter. This year is therefore the first documentary evidence for the Civitas . From 1229 to 1436, when the Werle line became extinct, Güstrow was the residence of the Lords of Werle , who had gradually given up their old ancestral castle, Burg Werle, between Schwaan and Bützow . After that, Güstrow became a state town in Mecklenburg and, as the Vorderstadt, was the first of the towns in the Wendish district that were represented in the Mecklenburg state parliaments of the 1523 state estates until 1918 . In 1441 the first privileged shooting society was founded by Güstrow.
The process of desecration of the host of 1330 ended with the burning of 23 Jews from Güstrow and the destruction of the synagogue . In its place, a "Chapel of the Holy Blood" was built by Prince Johann von Werle , which burned down in 1503. An intense pilgrimage began there. From 1509 to 1550/52 Franciscan observers (monastery courtyard) settled in Güstrow. In 1503, 1508 and 1512 city fires destroyed the place. In 1556 the castle fell victim to a fire.
Ducal residence in the 16th and 17th centuries
The Reformation ended Catholic life in the city with the introduction of Lutheran teaching. After the first Lutheran sermon had been held in the Holy Spirit Chapel in 1524, the dukes left the parish church to the Protestants in 1534. The last Catholic Mass was celebrated in the cathedral in 1552 after the state parliament of the Mecklenburg estates introduced the Protestant religion nationwide in Sternberg in 1549 . In Güstrow the reason was also the decay of the customs of the collegiate monastery , which had developed into a "financial institution" for the city and the landlords. The Franciscan monastery was dissolved in 1555, the churches and chapels at the gates of the city torn down.
In 1552 the first theater performances took place in Güstrow. The actors were exclusively students of the princely cathedral school newly founded by Duke Johann Albrecht I , which was supposed to help spread the new teaching. The ideas were retained until the Thirty Years War . The cathedral school, which has long been considered the best school in Mecklenburg, later became part of the larger John Brinckman grammar school, founded in 1902 as a secondary school.
From 1556 to 1695, Güstrow was temporarily resident again , this time to the Dukes of Mecklenburg . Duke Ulrich zu Mecklenburg began building the palace in 1558. In the course of the second main division of Mecklenburg after the Fahrholz partition contract of 1621, the Mecklenburg region of Güstrow was created . From 1628 to 1629 Albrecht von Wallenstein resided as Duke of Mecklenburg in Güstrow Castle. The two dukes of Schwerin and Güstrow were expelled from the country by Wallenstein. On the orders of Wallenstein, regular riding posts were set up, which went from Güstrow in all directions into the country. In Güstrow, in a now dilapidated house in Grüner Winkel 4, Mecklenburg's first post office was located. After Wallenstein's fall, Duke Hans Albrecht , who had fled Güstrow, moved back into his Güstrow residence in 1631 .
In 1695 the Duke's line of Güstrow died out due to the death of Duke Gustav Adolf . In 1701, the Hamburg hereditary comparison resulted in the third division of the country, so Mecklenburg-Strelitz was created alongside Mecklenburg-Schwerin. In 1712 the armistice negotiations regarding the Great Northern War took place in Güstrow . It participated Tsar Peter I (the Great) of Russia , Elector Augustus II. (Strong) of Saxony and the Swedish general Steen Bock.
From the princely to the civil period 1750–1933
Since 1749 some Jews immigrated. Several families settled down with letters of protection from the Duke, against the resistance of the magistrate . An important Jew from Güstrow was the sculptor Löser Cohen (1787–1873), who took part in the Wars of Liberation and received the Iron Cross . A Jewish cemetery was laid out as early as 1804, and the synagogue was finished in 1829.
From 1806 to 1812 Mecklenburg was occupied by Napoleon I's troops . In 1813, Güstrow became the center of the freedom movement in Mecklenburg when 600 hunters on foot and another 600 hunters on horseback went into battle against Napoleon. In honor of the fighters, the state monument for the liberation warriors 1813-1815 was erected in 1865 .
In 1848, Güstrow was at the center of the revolution in Mecklenburg, when several meetings for constitutional reform were held here, which were ultimately unsuccessful due to the Freienwalder arbitration award .
After that, technological progress took hold of the city step by step. In 1850 the Güstrow – Bützow railway line and the train station were built. The connection was extended in 1867 via Neubrandenburg to Strasburg in Prussia , where there was a connection to Stettin . The Güstrow – Plau am See railway followed in 1882 and the lines to Schwaan and Plaaz in 1887 .
In 1852 the gas works near the train station and the street lighting with town gas went into operation. In 1854, a Grand Ducal Mecklenburg telegraph station was built at Baustraße 3 in Güstrow. From January 1, 1856, there was also a telegraph connection between Güstrow and Neustrelitz. The two Mecklenburg duchies were linked by this connection.
The first sugar factory was built in Güstrow in 1883 ; it was given a port on the Bützow-Güstrow Canal , which was completed in 1896. The halls were illuminated with electric arc lights. In 1889, the Güstrow water pipeline, reminiscent of the Borwin fountain, was completed. From 1892 a city telephone system was used in Güstrow for 28 participants. Electricity has been available in Güstrow via a city network since 1912. The Städtische Werke Güstrow was founded in 1925. In 1931 the first telephone exchange with 800 lines was built. In 1933, a modern open-air substation was commissioned in the north of Güstrow.
1933-1990
During the National Socialism , the Jewish residents of Güstrow were persecuted. The Jewish community had 44 members in April 1938. During the November pogroms of 1938 , 14 Jews were arrested; on July 10, 1942, more community members were arrested and deported to Auschwitz concentration camp ; older Jewish women were deported to the Theresienstadt concentration camp and perished there. Only a few Jews from Güstrow managed to emigrate to Shanghai , Australia, the USA, Chile and Palestine.
The Jewish cemetery in the Dettmannsdorf district was devastated in 1938 and the cemetery hall was set on fire. In 1988 part of it was restored on the 'Liberation Road' (now Neukruger Straße), including a wrought iron fence and a memorial stone from 1988. A notice board in the pavement in front of the former synagogue has been reminding of the building that was set on fire during the November pogroms in 1938 and later demolished (Krönchenhagen 13):
During the Second World War , several hundred men and women from the countries occupied by Germany had to do forced labor in the city's armaments factories . Among other things, they were housed in Güstrow Castle.
During the time of the Soviet occupation , the NKVD secret police maintained a prison on Schlossberg, where several Güstrow citizens were interrogated and probably executed. In May 1946 several members of the volunteer fire brigade between the ages of 15 and 23 were arrested on the grounds that they belonged to the " werewolf ". They were later taken to the Soviet special camp No. 7 Sachsenhausen , where several of them died.
On July 1, 1950, the previously independent community Suckow was incorporated.
On June 17, 1953 , a few meetings and strikes took place in Güstrow, but they did not escalate. They set up u. a. against the nationalization of smaller businesses. The furniture manufacturer Werner Bruchhäuser was released from pre-trial detention for reassurance. The People's Police and the Stasi kept the city firmly under control.
In December 1981, Federal Chancellor Helmut Schmidt visited Güstrow on a state visit to the GDR together with Erich Honecker . Honecker and Schmidt were completely shielded from the residents of Güstrow by Stasi employees. According to Honecker's ideas, they staged the image of “a happy people in a cozy Advent mood”. Most of the “visitors to the Christmas market” were MfS employees in civilian clothes, who had the task of creating a festive atmosphere at the Christmas market and cheering Honecker on. 35,000 security guards were deployed: 14,000 from the MfS, the rest from the People's Police. There were 81 arrest warrants, 11,000 people were under control for three days, and 4,500 home examinations were carried out.
On December 21, 1984, a full-time employee of the Ministry for State Security shot dead two people under the influence of alcohol near the local Güstrow district office. In 1990 he was sentenced to ten years in prison for this.
From around 1968 to 1988 the residential areas Südstadt with 3921 apartments and Distelberg with 1216 apartments were built in prefabricated construction.
The largest companies in Güstrow in GDR times were VEB Landmaschinenbau (LMB), the vehicle repair factory (KIW), the door factory (VEB wood processing), the sugar factory (Zufa Nordkristall) and the VEB Getreidewirtschaft. There was also the G. Winkelhausen spirits factory and a furniture factory (VEB Polstermöbel), which had emerged from the Bruchhäuser KG company through nationalization in 1972 and, among other things, produced furniture for the Ikea group.
Since 1990
After a fierce dispute during the fall of the Berlin Wall , the streets in the outskirts largely retained the names from the GDR era. The streets in the city center got their old names back: z. B. the horse market and the Hageböcker street.
In 1991 the royal seat became a model town for urban development funding in the new federal states. Numerous monuments in the historic city center and the castle area were then thoroughly renovated. The residential environment in the prefabricated housing estates has also been improved since 1993 and vacant apartments have been demolished since 2000 ( urban redevelopment ). In 1995 the first state exhibition for the millennium of Mecklenburg took place in the castle .
An adventure trail "Altstadtrundweg" was created for the tourist development of the sights; Relocated path markings lead to objects worth seeing.
From 1952 to 2011 Güstrow was the district town of the district of the same name (until 1990 in the GDR district of Schwerin , from 1990 to 2011 in the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania ). With the district reform of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in 2011 , the district of Güstrow was combined with the district of Bad Doberan to form the new district of Rostock . Güstrow remained the district administrative seat.
