Neustrelitz is a medium-sized town in the Mecklenburg Lake District in the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in the northeast of the Federal Republic of Germany . The former residence of the dukes of Mecklenburg and the former state capital of Mecklenburg-Strelitz is now one of the 18 middle-class centers in the state. It is located just under 30 km south of the regional center of Neubrandenburg .

Neustrelitz was founded in 1733 as a planned baroque town near the city of Strelitz (today the Strelitz-Alt district ) after the Strelitz moated castle of the ruling Duke Adolf Friedrich III. It burned down in 1712. In 1731 he moved into his newly built residential palace Neustrelitz in the former town of Glienecke . This was followed by the construction of a settlement based on plans by court architect Julius Löwe for the court and state administration, and on May 20, 1733, the Duke called for the settlement of new citizens. This document is now considered the founding document of the city of Neustrelitz. The historic city center with many architectural monuments has largely been preserved.

The former (grand) ducal palace burned down at the end of the Second World War. The remains were demolished by 1950. It was the main residence of the Mecklenburg-Strelitz part of the state, an important structural reference point north of the city center and served as the seat of the state parliament of the Free State of Mecklenburg-Strelitz from 1918 . The Neustrelitz Castle Park and a number of buildings worth seeing in the Neustrelitz residential district have been preserved . Reconstruction of the castle or parts of it has been discussed repeatedly by citizens' groups since the 1990s. In October 2019, the city of Neustrelitz and the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania agreed to rebuild the 51 meter high destroyed castle tower according to its former appearance, to clear the listed basement rooms, make them accessible and cover them with a usable concrete ceiling.

Due to its central location in the Mecklenburg Lake District , on the B 96 as well as the Berlin Nordbahn and Lloydbahn , the navigable connection with supraregional waters , cultural events such as the Festival in the Schlossgarten and the Immergut Festival , as well as the many architectural monuments in the city , Neustrelitz became one of the well-known Holiday destinations in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania .

The German Aerospace Center (DLR) has important facilities for remote sensing from space for the Earth Observation Center in Neustrelitz and is involved in the development of the European satellite navigation system Galileo . The Carolinum grammar school is one of the largest schools in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . The Kulturquartier Mecklenburg-Strelitz is home to several of the city's cultural institutions (museum, library, archive). The city is known for its football club TSG Neustrelitz .

Surname

The name Neustrelitz (in older scripts also: Neu-Strelitz , N. Strelitz or just plain Strelitz ) was derived from the name of the mother town Strelitz , which was not incorporated until 1931. The place appears as Neuenstrelitz on March 20, 1732 in a receipt that the court gardener and ducal master builder Christoph Julius Löwe issued to a worker. Since the emergence of the developing new Residenz Neustrelitz, the old mother town Strelitz has been called Alt-Strelitz more and more colloquially in order to better distinguish it, but without an official renaming. Strelitz has officially been named Strelitz-Alt since 1994 .

Prehistory (1701–1733)

Neustrelitz residential palace , as it was built in the late 18th century

As a result of the Hamburg settlement (1701), the third major division of Mecklenburg took place . The partial duchies of Mecklenburg-Schwerin and Mecklenburg-Strelitz emerged. The first regent of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, Duke Adolf Friedrich II. , Needed an appropriate residence, the new duchy itself a capital. After the original intention to make Neubrandenburg the capital proved to be impracticable and because Adolf Friedrich II had been living in an old moated castle in Strelitz for a long time, the city of Strelitz was expanded into the capital and residence city. The settlement of the new court authorities followed. The situation changed when the Strelitz residential palace burned down in 1712 and the citizens of the city took over from Duke Adolf Friedrich III. refused manual and clamping services required for the reconstruction . This started a development that initially led to the construction of a new residential palace a few kilometers north of Strelitz and then to the emergence of a new residential city - a new Strelitz .

After the fire in the Strelitz residential palace, Duke Adolf Friedrich III lived in. with his family several of his smaller castles. One of them was the one-story Glienecke hunting lodge that he built on the site of a dairy . He had this gradually expanded and converted into a residential palace and a settlement for the court servants built near it, to which the Duchy's administrative authorities, which were still based in Strelitz, soon moved.

Since the development of a settlement for court servants to a new city Adolf Friedrich III. did not progress quickly enough, he issued an appeal on May 20, 1733 to all who were willing to settle there and granted everyone who wanted to build a free building site, free timber and tax exemption for ten years. This document is now regarded as the founding document of the city of Neustrelitz, although the first residential buildings were built years earlier. In the period that followed, many craftsmen came to the city who themselves helped to build the city church and other structures. Previously, the first Neustrelitz residential palace had already been built by new residents.

Around the middle of the 18th century, people were still undecided as to whether Neustrelitz should just become a district of Strelitz or a city of its own. The original idea of ​​a new district indicates that for Neustrelitz the transfer of communal self-determination and self-administration rights to the newly founded city, which is otherwise common in the act of founding a city (known as city ​​law ) , was omitted . Neustrelitz thus remained part of the princely property - the domanium . There were no elected representatives, and at first the citizens had hardly any say. A consequence of this was that Neustrelitz remained insignificant in the political system of the Mecklenburg state until the end of the monarchy in 1918, while the neighboring mother city of Strelitz, the nearby Vorderstadt Neubrandenburg and all other rural towns of the Strelitz part of the state were eligible for state assembly and thus at least de jure in political decisions could contribute. With the start of construction on the Palais am Markt and the Belvedere in 1775, Neubrandenburg was expanded into a Strelitz summer and side residence.

Duke Adolf Friedrich IV and Grand Duke Georg were particularly willing to build . In Georg's service, Friedrich Wilhelm Buttel , who was influenced by the Schinkel School , was able to demonstrate his architectural and landscape design skills from 1821 to 1869. The cityscape was decisively shaped by him in the style of classicism and neo-Gothic .

After the end of the monarchy, Neustrelitz was the state capital of the Free State of Mecklenburg-Strelitz from 1919 to 1933 . After the incorporation of the city of Strelitz (1931), Neustrelitz was an independent city until 1945 .

Period of National Socialism (1933–1945)

With the appointment of Adolf Hitler as Reich Chancellor on January 30, 1933, the era of National Socialism began in Germany .

On January 1, 1934, the states of Mecklenburg-Strelitz and Mecklenburg-Schwerin , which had only been independent for a decade and a half, were reunited to form the state of Mecklenburg . With the unification, Neustrelitz lost the function of a state capital. The tasks of the former state authorities were relocated to Schwerin and the main archive of the former state of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was transferred to Schwerin. There it survived the Second World War (1939–1945) and is still in its own collection in the Schwerin State Archives . The cultural institutions - the Neustrelitz State Museum, which was not established until the 1920s, and the Neustrelitz State Library, which dates back to the 18th century - were increasingly sidelined.

From 1934 to 1936 , the leadership school in Neustrelitz, under the responsibility of Bernhard Zimmermann (sports scientist), was of decisive importance for the training to become a physical educator at the grammar school . Here, as part of further training in military sports (not military gymnastics), the selection of the full-time teachers who were reliable for the National Socialist state at the institutes for physical exercise took place. Nobody could become an institute director who did not receive a recommendation in Neustrelitz from Carl Krümmel . The directors of the institutes for physical exercise in the Federal Republic had predominantly proven themselves in Neustrelitz.

Since 1935 Neustrelitz was again a garrison town for the former Döberitz infantry regiment (later 48th infantry regiment ). For this purpose, new barracks were built at the end of Penzliner Straße and a new officers' mess (later the house of the working people ) in the grounds of the Schlosskoppel .

Neustrelitz was one of the towns in what is now Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania where there were book burnings in 1933 . The book burning took place on today's Buttelplatz .

The Domjüch sanatorium was involved in the T4 campaign during the Nazi era . There is no reminder to the victims.

Nothing in the city is reminiscent of the camps for slave labor and prisoners of war in World War II. In Fürstensee (now part of Neustrelitz) there was a main air ammunition plant that employed local workers and inmates of the Ravensbrück concentration camp had to work.

Memorial site for the Altstrelitz Jews. There the synagogue and the Jews from the Neustrelitz district who were deported after the Reichspogromnacht are remembered.

With the seizure of power the Nazis began in the German Empire , the persecution of the Jews - in old and Neustrelitz lived at that time 50 citizens of Jewish faith . Soon there were signs on several shops in Altstrelitz that read “Jews have no access” or “Germans do not buy from Jews” . On the weekends, marching columns of the SA marched through the district and repeatedly shouted “Germany awake, Jews out” . The anti-Semitism in Neustrelitz as in all of Germany took the Jews to existence-threatening forms. The Jews - who were considered “Jews” in the German Reich from 1935 onwards, defined the First Ordinance on the Reich Citizenship Law  - were exposed to increasing discrimination and National Socialist terror after the Reich Citizenship Act (1935) came into force . In the early hours of November 10, 1938 - during the Reichspogromnacht organized by the National Socialists  - the Altstrelitz synagogue of the Jewish community was set on fire. The contemporary witness and local researcher Klaus Giese reported on the background:

“Gradually the truth about the arson leaked out. Afterwards, three young Nazi fanatics were encouraged by the NSDAP leadership in Neustrelitz to set an example of 'popular outrage' in their home town of Strelitz with the support of the SA. "

In the morning but also the next day, at the instigation of the Gestapo, the Neustrelitz police arrested eleven Jewish women and eight men, took them to the Altstrelitz prison and temporarily placed them in " protective custody ". Then a wave of emigration began. The systematic deportation of German Jews to the East began on October 15, 1941 . Only those who lived in "mixed marriage" were spared for the time being. From October 23, 1941, all Jews were prohibited from emigrating from Germany. On November 12, 1942, the last 20 to 24 Jewish residents - including urban refugees - were picked up from assembly points in Alt- and Neustrelitz and taken to the Theresienstadt concentration camp by train. Here and after further deportation, 85.85% (36,848 dead) of the deported Germans died. The ruins of the Altstrelitz synagogue were torn down. Only the Jewish cemetery remained. The writer Helmut Sakowski said in a newspaper article:

“In all of Mecklenburg, hardly more than 5 Jews survived the Holocaust . You are not able to maintain all cemeteries. "

On April 29, 1945, the Red Army occupied Neustrelitz. On the night of 29./30. April 1945 the residential palace partially destroyed, the theater, a pavilion on the palace square, the old palace and the college building completely destroyed. About 85% of Strelitz was destroyed by fighting and arson, which meant that all of the original structures in the old town center fell victim to the flames.

With the unconditional surrender of the Wehrmacht on May 8, 1945 , the Second World War in Europe was over.

Soviet occupation zone (1945–1949)

East Germany became a Soviet zone of occupation (1945–1949) after World War II . The Allies - including the Soviet Union  - initially created municipal administrations capable of acting. Strelitz was again an independent town for a few months (1945-1946).

The Altstrelitz prison used by the Soviet NKVD came back into German hands on August 7, 1947 and was a correctional facility (JVA) until it was closed in 2001 .

Soviet troop stationing

Soldier statue of the former Soviet memorial

After the Second World War, the troops of the Group of the Soviet Armed Forces in Germany (GSSD) were permanently stationed in the Soviet occupation zone - in total there were around 25,000 people in Neustrelitz. Neustrelitz was the location of the 16th Panzer Division and Strelitz-Alt location of the 66th Guards Fla missile regiment .

After the unsuccessful Berlin Foreign Ministers' Conference (1954) on the German question , the Soviet Union explicitly recognized the GDR as a “ sovereign state ”. This was contractually regulated on September 20, 1955. The Soviet troops were not withdrawn, however, but remained as "protection troops" on the territory of the GDR.

It was only in the Two-Plus-Four Treaty on September 12, 1990 that the two German states and the victorious powers of World War II agreed to withdraw the GSSD by 1994 at the latest. In 1993 the Soviet troops withdrew from Neustrelitz.

In the middle of the Neustrelitz market square , the Soviet memorial , which can be seen from afar and is crowned by a soldier statue, commemorates the Soviet soldiers who died in World War II. The Soviet memorial was dismantled on May 22, 1995. The soldier statue was transferred to a storage area in the town of Neustrelitz in Kiefernheide and the surrounding soldiers' graves were moved to the palace gardens.

GDR time

Neustrelitz residential palace around 1913 (destroyed in 1945)

On October 7, 1949, the German Democratic Republic (GDR) was founded on the territory of the Soviet occupation zone including the Soviet sector of Berlin .

On July 1, 1950, the previously independent communities Landshagen and Prälank were incorporated.

Until the 1970s, Neustrelitz remained the seat of various authorities in the Neubrandenburg district formed in 1952 .

From 1952 to 1990 Neustrelitz was the district town of the Neustrelitz district in the aforementioned district. On May 17, 1990, the district became the Neustrelitz district .

The Neustrelitz residential palace of the Dukes of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was on the night of 29./30. April 1945 destroyed by a major fire. Only a few enclosing walls remained, which were blown up and removed in several sections by 1950. Some cellars served the Neustrelitz district administration as a warehouse and are still available today. The state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania intends to fill these areas at risk of collapse with sand.

With a large housing estate away from the city, which was only completed in 1989, more than 2,650 apartments, mostly in prefabricated construction, were created for around 7,000 people. Since previously only fallow areas with irregular pine stands shaped the landscape, this was called the Kiefernheide development area . An adjacent street built in the 1930s also bears this name. In addition, the Dr.-Schwentner-Straße residential area with around 630 apartments was built within the city in a northerly direction on the edge of a large, old barracks complex .

Since the fall of the Wall in the GDR in autumn 1989, the population of Neustrelitz has fallen by around 5,000 - that's around 25 percent.

Federal Republic of Germany

Many of the city's monuments have been redeveloped through urban development funding and the commitment of the citizens ( Art Nouveau building Glambecker Straße 3).
Building of the former technical center in Strelitz-Alt

Until 1994 Neustrelitz was the district town of the Neustrelitz district and from 1994 of the Mecklenburg-Strelitz district . With the district reform of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in 2011 , Neustrelitz lost this status and has been part of the Mecklenburg Lake District (seat of Neubrandenburg ) in the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania since September 4, 2011 .

From 1990 onwards, numerous Neustrelitz operations and facilities were closed, such as polyclinic, electrical systems construction (EAB), iron foundry, clothing works, agricultural engineering plant construction (LTA), machine factory Rogge, or they were greatly reduced in size and number of employees - so the railway depot from 1000 to 70 employees . Some schools had to be closed and demolished due to a drop in students , such as High School VII ( Jawaharlal Nehru High School) and the school of the Soviet garrison.

In the Altstrelitz technical center - officially called the Neustrelitz School of Engineering - civil engineers were trained from 1875 to 1991 . Subsequently affiliated to the Neubrandenburg University of Applied Sciences , it was later transferred from there to the Wismar University of Applied Sciences . Today the listed building is the seat of Stadtwerke Neustrelitz . An exhibition provides information about the training of civil engineers there.

The Altstrelitz prison  used as a correctional facilityJVA Neustrelitz - was closed in 2001. The Neustrelitz youth institution started operations on April 1, 2001.

Since 1991, large parts of the historic city center of the residential city with the star-shaped city layout have been renovated as part of the urban development subsidy. The orangery and the castle church have also been restored . The living environment in the Kiefernheide district has been improved since 1993 and restructured through urban redevelopment since 2000. Completely new housing estates emerged as a result of state-sponsored home construction in the years after 1990, among others between Schlangenallee and Wesenberger Chaussee (Kalkhorst residential area), on the formerly agricultural areas between Woldegker Chaussee and Strelitz-Alt (Woldegker Chaussee residential area), in Zierke, am Heinrich-Schliemann-Weg and on the Sandberg.

Tourism has increased significantly again since 1989. The port area has - after the reconstruction of the port to Wasserwanderrastplatz with Harbor Master - berths for boats, a caravan site, a dock for excursion boats and well-developed restaurants right on the harbor or in close proximity to the adjacent Zierker lake . The city's rich architectural and cultural heritage also attracts visitors, especially the palace gardens and the historic old town.

On October 24, 2019, the majority of Neustrelitz city representatives voted in favor of a draft agreement with the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (MV) for the development of the Schlossberg area. First of all, the exterior of the 51-meter-high castle tower is to be rebuilt according to its historical model and the listed basement rooms are to be cleared, made accessible and covered with a usable concrete ceiling.

coat of arms

Coat of arms of the city of Neustrelitz
Blazon : “Split; in front in red a silver right woman's arm emerging from a silver cloud at the gap, wearing a puffed sleeve with a bow, holding a diamond-studded gold ring between thumb and forefinger; behind in gold a gold-crowned black bull's head looking forward with a wide open mouth, silver teeth, a knocked out red tongue, the neck fur torn off in seven points and with silver horns. "

The coat of arms was redrawn after 1990 and registered under the number 216 of the coat of arms of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

Justification of the coat of arms: The coat of arms, probably awarded in 1794 by the ruling Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz together with the SEAL OF THE MAGISTRATE IN THE RESIDENCE CITY NEUSTRELITZ, combines two symbols of power. The Stargard arm is intended to indicate that the city belonged to the former Stargard lordship, while the bull's head as a small sovereign symbol of the Mecklenburg rulers refers to the sovereign as the founder of the former royal seat.

  • Since 1987 there have been partnerships with the Polish city of Szczecinek (German Neustettin ).
  • In 1988, before the political change in the GDR, a town partnership was signed with the town of Schwäbisch Hall in Baden-Württemberg.
  • On the occasion of the withdrawal of the group of Soviet armed forces in Germany , a friendship treaty with the Russian city of Tchaikovsky followed in 1993 .

Culture, sights and leisure

Buildings

The state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania owns the orangery , the theater , the castle park and several other listed buildings in Neustrelitz.

Marketplace

City church Neustrelitz
Neustrelitz town hall

Neustrelitz was laid out as a baroque residential town around a square market square. Eight straight streets in a star shape lead from this in the main and secondary directions. In 1866 the roundabout was laid out in the middle of the square and a memorial for Grand Duke Georg was erected. The monument was dismantled and dumped in 1956. It was not until 1989 that it could be repositioned on Wilhelm-Buttel-Platz. The old location on the market was used for a memorial for the fallen soldiers of the Soviet Army, which was removed again in May 1995. The market place was redesigned in 2003/2004 and equipped with a fountain.

Construction of the Neustrelitz town hall on the market square began in 1841. The plans for the building were drawn up by the Mecklenburg-Strelitz state master builder Friedrich Wilhelm Buttel - a student of the architect Carl Friedrich Schinkel and the sculptor Johann Gottfried Schadow . The previous building was a half-timbered “town and town hall” with a mansard roof and a half-timbered tower. The new building is a two-storey, solid plastered building in the Renaissance style - a harmonious counterpart to the town church opposite, whose tower is also Buttel's work (1828–1831).

The city ​​church Neustrelitz was built according to plans by the court doctor Johann Christian Wilhelm Verpoorten as a rectangular hall church (20 × 37 m) in brick with surrounding galleries . Staircases that accommodate the porches lead to the gallery. A by all sides abgewalmtes , steep-rise brick roof summarizes the rectangular building together. The foundation stone was laid on July 29, 1768, and consecrated as the “city church” on November 5, 1778. In 2015, the exterior renovation of the city church was completed after a two-year construction period.

Residential district

Residenzschloss, around 1910 (destroyed in 1945).

The Neustrelitzer Residenzschloss was a baroque palace for the ruling Mecklenburg Duke Adolf Friedrich III. between 1726 and 1731 under the direction of Julius Löwe , after his old moated castle in Strelitz burned down in 1712. In the last days of the Second World War , the Neustrelitz residential palace was also destroyed by fire. In 1949 it was blown up and completely removed by 1950. Only the cellar vaults were preserved.

The castle was rebuilt several times before it was destroyed. It was significantly expanded between 1905 and 1909. The newly built castle tower, visible from afar, which connected the old with the newly built part of the castle, then largely determined the silhouette of the castle. After 1918, the former residential palace of the dukes and grand dukes of Mecklenburg became the seat of the state parliament of the Free State of Mecklenburg-Strelitz . The contours of the former building on the Schlossberg on the edge of the city center were marked after 1991.

The city of Neustrelitz and the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania agreed to redevelop the palace area in October 2019. First of all, the 51 m high castle tower, which was destroyed at the end of World War II, is to be rebuilt according to its earlier appearance. After clearing the still preserved, listed basement rooms of the castle, they are to be covered with a concrete ceiling and made accessible. The city is then free to use the basement itself or to let third parties use it.

In the residential area of several buildings have been preserved and restored by now. These include:

  • The castle church was built from 1855 to 1859 by Friedrich Wilhelm Buttel as a cross-shaped, single-nave basilica in the neo-Gothic style using yellow bricks. The sculptor Albert Wolff created the figures of the four evangelists on the main portal as well as the rose window in between . In the interior of the church, the wooden ceiling is worth seeing. Only remnants of the Grüneberg organ from 1859 have been preserved from the earlier interior . The Evangelical Lutheran parish gave up the castle church as a place of worship in 1982. After a thorough renovation in 2001, the building now offers space as a plastic gallery for the Schlosskirche for exhibitions of figural sculpture.
  • The classicist cavalier house was built by Julius Löwe in the area of ​​the former castle courtyard between 1726 and 1731 and an upper floor was added in 1828 by FW Buttel. In 2012/13 the building was restored and converted for use by the Neustrelitz road construction authority.
  • The Neustrelitz orangery was built in 1755 as winter quarters for tropical plants on the edge of the castle park. Supported by Christian Daniel Rauch and Karl Friedrich Schinkel, Friedrich Wilhelm Buttel converted the single-storey building into one of the most beautiful garden salons in northern Germany from 1840 to 1842. The three large halls inside were retained and painted in the national colors of red, blue and yellow, while the ceiling paintings and arabesques were kept in the Pompeian style . Round arch niches and consoles with numerous antique sculptures and reliefs by classicist sculptors such as Christian Daniel Rauch and Bertel Thorvaldsen create a representative spatial effect. In the garden of the orangery, a copy of the bronze sculpture The Praying Boy (Original: Staatl. Museum Berlin) was placed on a Corinthian column in the middle and the children's fountain by Albert Wolff was placed in front of the wide entrance terrace. The well-preserved interior is now used as a restaurant and for events.
  • The Hobe House opposite the State Theater, also known as the “White Mansion”, was built in 1740. The city's registry office is located in the ballroom .
  • The Marienpalais on the corner of Tiergartenstrasse and Hertelstrasse was built between 1850 and 1870 in two construction stages in the form of the Berlin Building School (Schinkel-Succession). In 1874 the palace was the residence of Grand Duchess-widow Marie , widow of Grand Duke George , who died in 1860 . From April 1950, the former palace housed the Clara Zetkin Secondary School . Empty from 1997 to 2009, the building was partially used by the State Theater. After the division into several residential units, the former palace is now used again as a residential building.
  • The Landestheater Neustrelitz was named Mecklenburgisch-Strelitzsches Hoftheater from 1779 and was renamed Landestheater Neustrelitz after the end of the monarchy in 1919 . The current building was constructed in 1925–1928 after the previous one burned down in January 1924.
  • The Carolinenpalais was built in Tudor style in 1850 according to a design by FW Buttel and dedicated to the Duchess Caroline.
  • The royal stables were built according to a design by FW Buttel and completed by builder Richard.

Castle Park

View of the baroque central axis

The Neustrelitz Castle Park , the link between castle, town and landscape, was built in 1731/32 according to plans by Julius Löwe. The baroque garden facing the palace was later redesigned and expanded several times. With the lifting props at the end of preserved baroque visual axis, which built on a hill Luis temple ancient in the "English Garden" and a number of copies and classical sculptures testifies to the park from the artistic taste of earlier times. The historic gardens were extensively renovated and reconstructed between 2011 and 2019.

  • The central axis of the park is continued in the main avenue of the zoo . This was created in 1721 southeast of the castle. In the past, access from the residential district was through the Hirschtor . It was built as a portal by FW Buttel between 1824/1825 and supplemented in 1826 by two bronze deers made as counterparts by CD Rauch . Rauch used copperplate engravings by JE Rieger as a template . Chased the figures were in a Paris workshop.
  • The lifting temple was built in the middle of the 19th century as a point de vue in the baroque part of the palace park at the intersection of the baroque line of sight and the temple avenue instead of an earlier building. In the middle of the temple a copy of the lifting statue created by Antonio Canova in 1796 was placed in 1856 .
  • The Luise Temple was built in 1891 as a memorial hall for Queen Luise of Prussia , who died in 1810 at Hohenzieritz Castle . The classical temple stands on the edge of the palace park on a hill that was raised around 1830. The architect Bernhard Sehring used Silesian sandstone as building material . Inside there is a copy of the second version of the sarcophagus created by Christian Daniel Rauch in 1827 with the grave statue of Queen Luise. After a plaster cast taken from the original of this version, Rauch's student Albert Wolff made the copy in Carrara marble in the Luise temple in 1891 .

Port area / shore area Zierker See

  • The Neustrelitz city harbor on Zierker See was laid out between 1841 and 1846. The first warehouse building was built from goods in 1842 by the grain merchant Stüver, the second in 1846 by the merchant Behn . The grain traders Reinke and Giese built the third granary at the port in 1865. Some of them were rebuilt after 1990 for residential use, holiday apartments, cultural use and gastronomy. Mainly grain and wood were transported from here by water. A rail connection to the Berlin – Stralsund railway helped the port to revive at the end of the 19th century. After a few years of halting all loading activities, new systems were built around 1995. After being converted into a resting place for water hikers, the port offers 29 berths for boats, a harbor master's office with visitor infrastructure and a well-equipped dock for excursion boats. There is a caravan parking space in the vicinity of the port.
  • On the edge of the Zierker See is also the Slav village , an archaeological open-air museum that is also used as a family leisure and adventure site. The numerous differently designed buildings and shelters on the site were built in the Slavic architectural style.

Building complex at the corner of Tiergartenstrasse and Töpferstrasse

The building complex includes the former Grand Ducal Palais (Tiergartenstrasse 5) and the former Grand Ducal Regional Court (Töpferstrasse 13 a) , built in 1865 based on a design by FW Buttel with a courtroom and prison .

The building at Tiergartenstrasse 5 was built in the 18th century as a town house, then bought by the Duke and initially used as a military administration building. Later it housed the grand ducal library with a secret archive and the grand ducal collections (coins and antiquities) known as "Georgium".

During the GDR era , the building was the seat of a branch of the Ministry for State Security of the GDR (MfS). Originally built for the Grand Ducal Regional Court in 1865, the prison in the courtyard of the building complex was used by the MfS as a remand prison and is now a place of remembrance, indicated by black steles on the side of the Tiergartenstrasse.

In 2015, the reconstructed Palais became the main building of the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania Regional Social Court (LSG M – V) and the Neustrelitz branch of the Waren (Müritz) local court . The LSG M – V was relocated here from Neubrandenburg due to the reform of the court structure on March 2, 2015. Before the reform of the court structure, the building of the former Grand Ducal Regional Court on Töpferstrasse was the seat of the Neustrelitz District Court, which was subsequently dissolved, and is now an auxiliary building of the LSG M – V and the branch of the AG Waren (Müritz).

Libraries and Archives

As the state capital, Neustrelitz was also the seat of the state library (state library) of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, which formed an administrative unit with the secret and main archive (state archive) and the state museum, which was only formed in the 1920s from former princely collections. The State Library was formed on the threshold of the 19th century from various princely book collections and for a long time functioned as the government library of the region and as an addressee for book gifts from publishers and authors. After the end of the monarchy, the state library in Neustrelitz increasingly lost its importance. The inventory replenishment stagnated and the number of users fell sharply. After the state museum was largely destroyed by the castle fire in 1945 and the state archive had been transferred to today's Schwerin state main archive in 1934, the Neustrelitz state library was finally closed in 1950 and its holdings were distributed among various other academic libraries. The regional history collection remained in Neustrelitz, first found its way into the city library and later into the district library that was formed from it. Preserved remnants (approx. 2,000 holdings) today form the basis of the regional history reference collection of the Neubrandenburg regional library . The manuscript collection of the Neustrelitz State Library, numbered in more than 200 items, has been lost since 1950.

The Neustrelitz City Library comprises around 40,000 media units.
