history

In 1837, when Grand Duke Paul Friedrich took office, he moved the ducal court from Ludwigslust to Schwerin. The Grand Duke formed a commission to plan the necessary expansion of the city to the south and west. State master builder Georg Demmler presented a study according to which the city should be expanded to the west. Then the expansion of the Schwerin Paulsstadt began. It takes its name after the sovereign Paul Friedrich.

In 1838/39 a dam was built on the south and west banks of the Pfaffenteich. The Alexandrinenstraße was filled in and paved. From 1839 onwards, buildings were built on Wismarschen Strasse and Arsenalstrasse with houses in the classicist style.

The arsenal at Pfaffenteich , a military building, was built by Demmler until 1844. In 1841 a river ditch was vaulted, thereby improving the connection between the old town and Paulsstadt. A new, turf-covered rampart with gatehouses ran from Ostorfer See past the cemetery over Vossstrasse to Moltkeplatz and further behind the train station over the shelf to Heidensee . In 1863 internal tariffs were abolished and the wall lost its function.

In 1847 the first station building and the Hagenow Land – Schwerin line were built as a connection to the Berlin-Hamburg line . In 1890, today's station building of Schwerin Central Station was built according to plans by building officer Carl Jacobi, a building in the style of the early days .

The ornamental fountain Rescue in Distress from 1910 with bronze sculptures by Hugo Berwald has been on the station forecourt, today Marianne-Grunthal- Platz . Local transport facilities are concentrated on the square. Four uniform residential buildings were built in 1847 according to Demmler's plans. The InterCityHotel was built in 1972 as the Hotel Stadt Schwerin . Since 2005, a tunnel that previously only provided access to the platforms has also opened up the rear side of the station with the building of the former Grand Ducal General Railway Directorate of the Friedrich-Franz Railway (later Reichsbahndirektion Schwerin ). An older pedestrian tunnel that did not provide access to the platforms and whose portals are still there was closed in 2005.

Due to the increase in the population at the end of the 1850s, the Paulskirche was also built between 1863 and 1869 according to plans by building officer Theodor Krüger . As a neo-Gothic church, it was placed on an extended hill for urban planning purposes.

From 1883 to 1885, the neo-Gothic secondary school was built according to plans by senior building officer Georg Daniel and executed by the state master builders Zöllner and Raspe. The later brick school of peace is 44.33 meters long and up to 24.5 meters high.

Since 1901 there is the Hotel Niederlandeischer Hof on Wilhelmstraße (today street Zum Bahnhof ), which moved in 1921 into a converted house at Alexandrinenstraße 12/13. In 1916 the judicial building and the judicial prison designed by the Ministerialbaurat Paul Ehmig were inaugurated on today's Demmlerplatz. The remand prison was used until 1989. The use of the representative judicial building changed several times: After the war, the Soviet secret service NKVD took over the building in 1945 . The Soviet Military Tribunal (SMT) also met here. In 1954 the building came to the Ministry of State Security (MfS). After the fall of the Wall , the building was used by the Ministry of Justice from 1990 to 1993. The court building is then the location of the Schwerin Regional Court and the Schwerin District Court .

Paulsstadt was included in the urban development programs from 2004 . On the basis of the urban development concept Eastern Paulsstadt , measures to improve and upgrade public space and to reduce the vacancy rate of buildings are to be implemented. In 2006 the redevelopment area Paulsstadt was decided for the western parts of the district .
