history

The area near Schwerin Inner Lake was used by gendarmerie facilities in the 19th century . The dilapidated old Oberwachtmeisterhaus had to be demolished around 1864.

The three-storey, then almost symmetrical L-shaped building from 1875, with a sloping corner formation as a gable and a rear four-storey gable risalit , was the barracks of the gendarmerie building or the old police station . Here were the service, storage and accommodation rooms. From 1919 to 1928 the State Criminal Police Office (LKA) was also located here , which then moved to the building at Schloßstraße 3 . Probably in the 1930s, the house on the south side was extended by eight axes. In 1946 the People's Police moved the main entrance from the center to the side. In the mid-1950s, several extensions, which have since been demolished, were added. At the beginning of the 1960s, the People's Police District Office moved from Goethestrasse to this location; other offices followed. At this location of the district authority of the people's police (BDVP) were until 1990: passport and registration systems, criminal police, protection police, traffic police and permit systems as well as the people's police on standby . The armory, gas station, workshop and service dog kennel were on the area. After 1990, the police remained in charge of the Schwerin Police Department (temporarily), the criminal investigation department, the operations control center, the state driver service and the emergency train for special situations. Around 2008 the police moved their headquarters to Graf-Yorck-Straße.

The now vacant L-building was also used by the State Theater for a theater project at times around 2017.

As the redevelopment area Südliche Werdervorstadt , the area has been redesigned as a city ​​quarter on Lake Schwerin since 2006 for new apartments. This house is to be privatized with a new usage concept since 2019.
