The Schwerin motorway junction (abbreviation: AK Schwerin ; short form: Schwerin cross ) is a motorway junction in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania on the edge of the Hamburg metropolitan region . It connects the northern section of the federal highway 14 ( Wismar - Schwerin - Karstädt ) with the federal highway 24 ( Hamburg - Berlin ; Europastraße 26 ).

geography

The motorway junction is located in the municipal area of Wöbbelin in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district . The surrounding towns and communities are Neustadt-Glewe , Rastow and Banzkow . The closest districts are Fahrbinde on the Rastower side, Goldenstädt on the Banzkower side, Dreenkrögen on the Wöbbeliner area and Tuckhude on the Neustadt-Glewe area.
