development

No. 70/72, bench and fountain

After Grand Duke Paul Friedrich moved the ducal court from Ludwigslust to Schwerin in 1837 , the city expanded to the south and west according to plans by court architect Georg Adolf Demmler ; the field town expanded and was included in the urban area as a suburb in 1840/41. In 1844, the Berlin gatehouses on the Platz der Jugend were built according to plans by Demmler.

The Schwerin Cathedral Cemetery was located near the old town on the street from 1779 to 1863, until the Old Cemetery was built in what is now Weststadt . In 1863 a row of lime trees was planted in Rostocker Strasse (Goethestrasse) on the Seeke.

Goethestrasse is divided into two parts from no. 52 to 94 over 350 m. Here it branches off into Totendamm , from 1786 to 1862 the access to the cathedral cemetery. Three staircases and the ramp lead to the higher street area.

The former Lyceum Schwerin was built in 1914 on the former cathedral cemetery. From this the Gymnasium Fridericianum Schwerin , or Fritz for short, was named. In 1923 the Reichsbank built its branch in Schwerin (No. 70/72). In the 1930s, part of the development was demolished and replaced by uniform brick buildings. The intention to demolish more houses at the end of the 1980s was no longer realized.

After the fall of the Wall , the Feldstadt was included in the urban development program in 1991 and was thoroughly renovated by 2012. From 2007 to 2009 the youth square was renewed.

traffic

In terms of traffic, the street is opened up by tram lines 1, 2 and 4 of Nahverkehr Schwerin GmbH (NVS). The stops for tram lines 1, 2 and 4 as well as bus lines 5, 7, 10, 12, 14 and 19 are at nearby Marienplatz .

The old horse-drawn tram has been running since 1881 and, since 1908, the electric tram line 3 from the train station via Marienplatz through the street to the Schweizerhaus excursion restaurant in the southern palace garden. In 1921/25 this line was extended to Zippendorf. The network expansions to the Großer Dreesch were created in 1974. A rail connection for the road was achieved through a bridge over the railway tracks with the Schwerin-Mitte stop at Lobedanzgang, making Paulsstadt easier to reach.
