  • The list of upper and medium-sized centers in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania lists all of the upper and medium-sized centers in the German state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . The basis is the state development plan Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania from August 2005. For a complete list of cities in the state, see List of cities in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania .

    In spatial planning and economic geography, a regional center denotes a central location ( capital ) of the highest level. If a regional center is located outside a metropolitan region and is of outstanding importance for its surroundings, it can also be called a regiopole , like Rostock .

    A middle center serves as a starting point for the supply of goods, services and infrastructure offers that cannot be provided by the surrounding sub-centers . In addition to the basic supply, as it is also available in sub-centers, the range of medium-sized centers includes periodic needs, in particular specialist doctors , larger shopping opportunities such as a department store , cinema , cultural offerings, a hospital , notaries , lawyers , tax consultants , a swimming pool , a further School and a vocational school .

    Furthermore, the state defines sub-centers in rural areas, but these are not listed here.

    The entries are sorted alphabetically.
