The Kulturquartier Mecklenburg-Strelitz is a joint cultural institution in Neustrelitz for the historic Mecklenburg-Strelitz region , which brings together cultural institutions such as the city's museum, the city library and the Karbe-Wagner archive under one roof. It is located in the former post office building, which is under monument protection , at Schloßstraße 12/13. After extensive renovation and renovation work, the Alte Post was reopened as a cultural center of the city and region on October 3, 2015 and has been run as a GmbH since 2016 .
History of the building
The building complex on Schloßstraße, which connects the central market square and the castle district, looks back on a long history of public use. From 1748 to 1795, the preserved courtyard building No. 12 housed the ducal mint of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. 1869 was the property of the North German Confederation , since 1871 imperial realm post , sold in 1898 also acquired the neighboring house no. 13,. Between 1899 and 1901, a new building inspired by neo-Romanesque and neo-Gothic architectural forms was built on these two areas - the Imperial Post Office. It was a first class post office , which simultaneously provided telephone and telegraph services. The building is an eleven- axis two -storey eaves house with two gable risers in the second and tenth axes. There is a double-leaf entrance door on both sides. Large arched windows on the ground floor, double arched windows on the upper floor and triple windows in the risalits structure the facade of the building facing Schlossstrasse. Both risalits are adorned with mosaics above the windows on the first floor: in the left the dates 1899 to 1901 can be read in gold letters, above the window in the right gable risalit two golden post horns symbolize the postal system and two lightning bolts symbolize the telegraph and communications system. In 1928 the gateway was widened. In 1933 the interior was rebuilt, but the counter hall was not affected.
The function of the post office and telecommunications office was retained in the building until 2000. Until 2003, the delivery area was still housed here. In 2008 the city of Neustrelitz acquired the area. In 2011, a cooperation agreement was concluded with the neighboring communities for inclusion in the federal city promotion program. In the years that followed, the post office was rebuilt in accordance with the preservation order; In the courtyard, a new building with reading rooms and exhibition rooms was built according to plans by the Berlin office BHBVT .
In the course of the planning, the name of the planned joint facility changed from the Kulturhistorisches Zentrum to Kulturquartier Mecklenburg-Strelitz .

museum
The Museum of the City of Neustrelitz was founded in 1973 with private collections by Annaliese Wagner with the aim of replacing the Mecklenburg-Strelitz State Museum, which disappeared in 1945. After the fall of the monarchy, the State Museum in Neustrelitz Castle was formed from collections of the Strelitz dynasty that had grown over centuries and from items from their castles and was destroyed in the Neustrelitz castle fire at the end of the war. A private bourgeois collection could not come close.
Until 2015, the city museum was located in the former residential and commercial building of the Wagner family (Schloßstraße 3) built by Friedrich Wilhelm Buttel in 1822 . Its collections illustrated the history of the former royal seat and the former (partial) duchy, (partial) grand duchy and Free State of Mecklenburg-Strelitz .
On April 22, 2016, a permanent exhibition with around 800 exhibits on the history of the Mecklenburg-Strelitz region was opened in the Kulturquartier.
