history

Schloßstraße32-34 Schwerin.jpg

The five-storey, 14-axis brick corner building from 1928 based on plans by Paul Nehls was built in the New Objectivity (Bauhaus style). The façade with its nine and five sculptures made of blue-glazed terracotta is distinctive ; the reliefs framed by Doric columns on the first floor were made by the Austrian sculptor Maximilian Preibisch . The female figures were popularly referred to as dolls. Preibisch worked in Boizenburg / Elbe from 1917 to 1940 . The simple, somewhat expressionist building has a pronounced protruding eaves over the 4th floor and a cornice with round arches over the windows of the 5th floor.

After the demolition of two half-timbered houses on Mecklenburgstraße, the breakthrough from Schloßstraße to Marienplatz began . In 1929/31 other houses such as the former military bakery disappeared.

In the building were and are apartments and shops as well as a betting shop , the honey exhibition and a shop for lingerie. A Commerzbank branch has been located here since 1996 .

There are only a few other buildings of this style in Schwerin, e.g. E.g. the commercial building Mecklenburgstraße at the corner Geschwister-Scholl-Straße by Hans Stoffers , the former trading house Thams & Garfs (Helenenstraße 3) by Erich Bentrup , the building Schloßstraße 39 ( Sparkasse in Schwerin ), the Capitol ( Wismarsche Straße 123) by Erich Bentrup and Hellmuth Ehrich, various residential buildings on Obotritenring and Güstrower Straße 19 as well as the Hamann building of the Werder Clinic .
