history

The existing monument protection regulations of the state applied to the monument protection in Mecklenburg after 1945. The State Office for Monument Preservation existed until 1952. With the dissolution of the states in the GDR, the task was centralized at the Ministry of Culture in Berlin. The tasks of monument preservation (soil and architectural monuments) were carried out by the culture departments of the councils of the districts and districts. From 1952 to 1990 there was the Schwerin Institute for Monument Preservation, responsible for the three northern districts of the GDR, which supported the district and district councils in drawing up their district and district monument lists.
The archives existed under the name State Archives in Schwerin and Greifswald.

After the fall of the Wall , the State Office for Monument Preservation and the State Office for Ground Monument Preservation were established by the Ministry of Culture in 1990 .

The authority was established on January 1, 2006 with the official seat in Schwerin and brings together the previous cultural authorities, State Office for Monument Preservation, State Office for Ground Monument Preservation with State Archaeological Museum , State Library Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania , State Main Archive Schwerin and the State Archive Greifswald in a single authority .

There is no state museum for archeology, but the two museums in Groß Raden (district of Sternberg ) and Saßnitz . Many regional and local museums have archaeological holdings on permanent loan from the State Office.
Currently there is a citizens' initiative based on the voluntary monument preservationists with the request to the state government to realize a state archaeological museum. For this purpose, a collection of signatures was started as a referendum.

building

Burgstrasse: Remnants of the city wall, main building on the left, extension on the right

The listed two-storey half-timbered house Domhof 4/5 from the Renaissance is probably the oldest or second oldest secular building in Schwerin . An inscription is dated 1574; Dendrochronological wood examinations refer to 1572. With the building Puschkinstraße 36, a contemporary, but possibly also older, building has been preserved.
Remains of the former city wall are on the Burgstrasse side and form the foundation of the side walls here.
For Domhof 4/5 it has been proven that the houses built there were owned by the von Halberstadt family in 1567.

At Domhof 6 there is the former coach house as a side wing and extension from the 19th century.
