history
Main article: History of Schwerin
The field town was a village area since the Middle Ages. Here were the ducal fish ponds and a mill as well as the laundry bleaching facility . The development was limited to a few houses in the 16th and 17th centuries. A stone dam (today Goethestrasse ) led to the south. A carp pond marked today's place of youth. The Schwerin suburb developed from the disordered village . In 1785 there were around 50 houses here, mostly thatched half-timbered houses, which from 1802 had to receive fire-proof roofing. The cattle drift , today the densely built-up Wallstrasse, was an important rural connection that led into the fields and meadows. The suburb was mainly built in the second half of the 19th to the beginning of the 20th century. One of the oldest buildings since the end of the 17th century was the shooting house of the rifle guild, some of which is still preserved in a building of the Augustenstift in Schwerin on Stiftstrasse.
In 1840/41 the suburb was included in the urban area after the ramparts were expanded. The Berliner Tor was built in 1843 . It is essentially a Wilhelminian era residential area. The existing village roads and the slightly hilly topography resulted in an initially unplanned development as a suburban agricultural citizen with an irregular urban layout and with quarters of different shapes and sizes. Schwerin's master builder Georg Adolf Demmler tried to better connect the area to Schwerin's old town in the expansion and beautification plan of the residential city of Schwerin from 1862/63. In 1863 buildings were built on Seestrasse and mostly two-story half-timbered houses followed on Eisenbahnstrasse , Brunnenstrasse and Jägerstrasse (today Grosse Wasserstraße ), as well as tenements on Carlstrasse ( Kleine Wasserstraße ), Grosse Schützenstrasse ( Stiftstrasse ) and Hermannstrasse . The development along the street with large inner courtyards now shaped the urban structure of the field town. In 1863 a row of linden trees was planted in Rostocker Strasse (Goethestrasse) on the Seeke . In the 1870s to 1890s, buildings were erected on Strempelplatz (youth square). The Ostorfer Ufer 1 to 15 villas were built around 1900. In what used to be known as the “night jacket district” mostly workers and employees lived.
In 1855 the evangelical Augustenstift zu Schwerin opened its work with poor and elderly care in the Große Schützenstraße (Stiftstraße); Grand Duchess Auguste took over the protectorate . From 1864 to 1870 the military built a military hospital on the Reiferbahn . From 1869 to 1872 Demmler built the Jägerkaserne on Carlstrasse, which became residential buildings from 1905. In 1886 the slaughterhouse was put into operation. In 1881/82 a boys' school was built on Feldstrasse according to plans by master builder Tischbein. In 1882/83, building officer Georg Daniel built the main building of the Anna Hospital on Strempelplatz. After backfilling on Ostorfer Ufer, upper-class mansions were built on Körnerstrasse (Demmlerstrasse) after 1910. The development in the area of Gartenhöhe initially remained rather village-like until the 1930s, when brick buildings were built on Stifts- and Goethestrasse and on Töpferberg.
Since 1881 the old horse tram and since 1908 the electric tram line 3 ran from the train station and Marienplatz through Rostocker Straße (today Goethestraße) to Strempelplatz (youth square). In 1921/25 this line 3 was extended to Zippendorf .
The stumbling blocks at Goethestrasse 15 remember the Jewish women Olga and Lotte Stern and Ina Salomon who lived here and who were disenfranchised, humiliated, deported and murdered during the National Socialist era . During the Second World War , the last air raid hit buildings in Feldstadt on April 7, 1945. Bomb hits were recorded in the area of Schäferstrasse, Eisenbahnstrasse and Karl-Liebknecht-Platz.
From 1960 to 1990 Schwerin built its large housing estates such as Großer Dreesch , Neu Zippendorf , Mueßer Holz and Lankow . The structural condition of the Feldstadt, however, deteriorated increasingly, buildings had to be demolished and the district turned gray and in need of renovation.
After reunification , the district was included in the urban development program in 1991 and was thoroughly renovated by 2012. In 1992 a new large building complex with a hotel and office wings was built in the west. To the north of this, the Am alten Schlachthof area could be developed into a shopping area with shops, a passage and restaurants.
The development of the area in the direction of Paulsstadt was improved by a bridge over the railway tracks with the Schwerin-Mitte railway stop at Lobedanzgang . Around 1999, a building for the Augustenstift for age-appropriate living was built on Gartenhöhe.
From 2007 to 2009, the youth square was partially renewed according to plans by Proske and Steinhausen, after almost all buildings had been renovated by 2000. Relief panels with the theme "Timeline" by the artist Christian Wetzels on the five illuminated steles are intended to provide information on the history.

The classicist gatehouses Berliner, Wittenberger, Güstrower, Wismarsches and Lübeck Tor were built from 1840 to 1844 as guard houses and customs houses. In 1863, after the abolition of internal tariffs, they lost their real importance. The surviving Berliner Tor with its two Doric temple ante is testimony to the construction of Karl Friedrich Schinkel . After 1863, the Berliner Tor housed soldiers' families and then other families and resettlers. After extensive renovations in 1951 and 1956, the Schwerin City Archives were housed here until 1991 . The gatehouses were renovated in 2000/01. Today there are offices for a landscape architect and lawyers.
