history

Surname

Rimless

Friedrichstrasse was named around 1840 after the Hereditary Prince Friedrich, who ruled as Grand Duke of Mecklenburg Friedrich Franz II (1823-1883) in the state of Mecklenburg-Schwerin from 1842 to 1883 . He initiated numerous reforms, but could not enforce his liberal constitution against the estates .

Before that, the street was called Kütergang until 1841 . In northern Germany that was the name given to the butchers.

development

Schwerin after 1340
No. 3
No. 5/7: Bank
No. 11

On the map from after 1340, the former city wall can be seen on the right edge: To the north (i.e. right) of it, to the shelf, a ditch that flowed from the Pfaffenteich to the former Beutel lake as part of the Schwerin lake . The Kütergang ran along the wall to the left. After the wall was torn down, Friedrichstrasse was built on the widened former Kütergang in the 19th century. The Schelfstadt with over 4100 inhabitants became a district of Schwerin in 1832 and the gate on Puschkinstrasse disappeared, and Schulstrasse was also connected to Friedrichstrasse. With the new construction of mostly three-storey classicist buildings, the street developed into a lively shopping street, which directly connected the Schelfstadt through the old town with the western Paulsstadt .

As part of the urban development funding , the area of ​​the old town and the shelf town were redeveloped and many houses were redeveloped in the 1990s to the end of the 2000s. The street became a pedestrianized shopping street. Flea markets and advertising for the street should have an invigorating effect.

In terms of traffic , the road is opened up by bus line 11 operated by Nahverkehr Schwerin GmbH (NVS). From 1908 until the 1950s, tram line 2 ran through the street on a single track.
