Location of Görries in Schwerin

Görries is a district of Schwerin , the capital of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania .

geography

Görries lies between the Old Cemetery , the shore of the Ostorfer See , the Schwerin – Ludwigslust railway line (Görries station), the Siebendörfer Moor and the Fasanenhof.

history

Görries was first mentioned as a village in 1445. Around 1860 there was one leaseholder in Görries, five thirds , eleven Büdner and eight cottagers . With the construction of the Schwerin - Crivitz railway line, a train station was also built in Görries, which was opened on October 1, 1893. On the platform at Schulzenstrasse 6, Wilhelm Gräning ran the "Krug zum green Kranze", where, in addition to a bowling alley and ticket sales, a post office was later located. The building was rebuilt after being partially destroyed during a bombing raid during World War II. The restaurant existed until the 1990s, at times there was also a grocery store at Schulzenweg 6.

At the end of the 19th century, Görries was one of the popular summer excursion destinations for the Schwerin people, because in 1895 the restaurant and bathing establishment "Marienhöhe" was opened in Häuslerei 43 (today Rogahner Straße 10). The restaurant had a terrace-shaped beer garden with a view of the Ostorfer See, and the dance evenings in the Marienhöhe were very popular. The property belonged to the Hella Fischer family until 1930, when Hasso Neitzel ran the restaurant with a seaside resort and dance hall. In the 1950s, the restaurant was closed, partly used as living space and later as a warehouse for the State Theater and the Fruit, Vegetable and Table Potatoes Association. Today there is a service company at Rogahner Straße 10.

In November 1912 the "Mecklenburgische Flugplatz-Gesellschaft Görries-Schwerin mbH" was founded, which opened the Schwerin-Görries airfield in June 1913 with a sightseeing flight from Lübeck-Schwerin-Wismar. Anthony Fokker leased the airfield and ran a flying school there from May 1913. In 1916 an aviation station with its own siding was built south of Rogahner Straße. In March 1917, the Fliegerbeobachterschule (FBS) established here began operations. → Main article: Schwerin-Görries airfield

Despite the airfield, Görries remained a farming and cottage village, and the forced incorporation of the 503 residents into Schwerin on May 8, 1917 initially did not change anything. The relationship between the residential city of Schwerin and the municipal administration remained tense afterwards because the city administration evidently showed little understanding for Görries' special agricultural interests.

The Marienhöhe allotment garden was founded in 1918 as one of the city's first club gardens.

One of the city's oldest commercial areas has been located in the Görries district since the 1920s. This arose out of the necessity to re-use the building of the aviation observation school, which had been vacant after the First World War. But the industrial settlements initiated by the city ( Kostowerke , Maschinenfabrik Badenia and Benno Schilde AG) failed. The decline through vacancies and vandalism continued.

In the 1920s, the former Fokkerwerke airfield remained as an emergency landing site. In 1932 it was rededicated as a 2nd order airport. In the 1930s, the Luftwaffe took over the entire airfield, including the former FBS, and expanded it into an air base , which was the base of a Stuka training squadron until the start of the war . Some streets in Görries had new names between 1918 and 1945: Immelmannstraße (today Lilienthalstraße), Boelckestraße (today Baustraße) and Richthofenstraße (today Handelsstraße).

Aircraft of the British Royal Air Force and associations of the US 8th Air Force , laden with explosive bombs and incendiary bombs, destroyed 1,944 buildings on the airfield as well as in an air raid on August 4, thatch -roofed houses on Schulzenweg. Another attack occurred on August 25, 1944, in the course of which around 28 houses were totally destroyed, 12 houses badly and 41 slightly damaged. In Immelmannstrasse, 13 bomb craters were counted on an area of ​​around 2000 square meters. Another air raid on April 7, 1945 hit the Schwerin field town. In total, more than 200 human lives were lost.

From 1945 to 1993 the airfield was owned by the CIS . In order to preserve the testimonies of Schwerin's flight history, the state capital has placed the remaining airfield buildings in the Görries industrial park under monument protection.

After 1945 the character of the district changed. An industrial area for wholesalers and warehouses as well as the construction and building materials industry was created south of Rogahner Straße in 1954. These include the supply office for pharmaceuticals and medical technology in Baustraße 3, built in 1957. In 1958, the merger of several small saddlery, shoemaker, interior decorator, upholsterer and leather-processing businesses resulted in the Leather Goods Production Cooperative (PGH), for which several buildings were built originated in Görries. In 1959/60 the multi-purpose cold store was built in Handelsstraße and from 1964 the high-rise and warehouse of GHG household goods was built in Rogahner Straße. Today, a variety of commercial, retail and leisure facilities have settled in Görries.

Transport links

Today Görries is divided into two parts by federal highway 106 . To the west of the multi-lane road is a large, fully developed industrial area with industrial and warehouse buildings that were built in GDR times, and to the east of it residential areas near Lake Ostorfer See.
