history
Palace
The Schelfstadt, originally the Schelfe , since 1349 also Neustadt , developed from the 11th century as an initially independent place and from 1705 as a city. In the early 18th century, half-timbered houses and palaces of noble families were built on the shelf .
The property is located on the former bishop's court. As a later building asset of the chapter, it was also referred to as the large building yard . In 1586 the then cathedral dean Otto von Wackerbarth , who became cathedral provost in 1591 , bought the yard of the building yard. He built his Schwerin official seat on the site of the former bishop's house. Half-timbered parts (including a gate post) and the cellar have been preserved from the building with a basement. From 1634 his son Ulrich von Wackerbarth was dean and from 1642 to 1659 provost of the cathedral chapter . Ulrich's sons, the ducal secret council and court marshal Otto and the lieutenant colonel Ivo von Wackerbarth and his wife lived here from 1659 to 1685 . The southern extension was added, the cellar is still there.
After several changes of ownership, it belonged to the district administrator and politician Helmut Friedrich von Oertzen and his heirs. The two-storey clinkered baroque and angled building with back half-timbering was now built as a palace including parts of the previous buildings from 1736 to 1747 on what was then Ritterstraße. In 1785 Joachim Levin Barner had a large high ballroom, the surrounding walls of which have been preserved, added to the south side of the Oertzen-Palais .
In 1802 the entrepreneur Friedrich August Kirchner bought the house, furnished the inn for the noble and on the walls of the hall, which is now lower in height, an upper floor was built in 1807. 1825 was for the guests in the garden shed as a half-timbered house with planks ties built. In 1816 the palace guard for the Grand Duke was set up in the wing at the corner of Puschkinstrasse and Schliemannstrasse . This wing burned down in 1831 and the late Classicist new building was built for the guard, which resided here until 1844. From 1844 to around 1848, many balls and events took place in the inn, which was then given up in 1853. From 1857 to 1873, Friederike Missfeldt ran her secondary school for girls in the classical wing building with 190 pupils, which was then continued elsewhere and incorporated into the lyceum in 1916 . The house remained in the family's possession until 1894.
In 1894 the Grand Duchy bought the property and rented the rooms to those with better earnings and to craft businesses. In 1936 the property was privatized. In 1945 the number of simple tenants multiplied. In 1984 after the expropriation, VEB Kommunale Housing Management took over the property. Construction maintenance no longer took place and the last tenants moved out in 1989.
Kulturforum Schleswig-Holstein-Haus
After the fall of the Wall in 1989, Prime Minister Björn Engholm (SPD) initiated a fundamental renovation of the building, financed by the neighboring state of Schleswig-Holstein, as the Kulturforum Schleswig-Holstein-Haus. In 1995 the extensive renovation was completed.
Since then, regular exhibitions of the Kulturforum and the cabinet exhibition of the Mecklenburg Foundation have taken place here, as well as lectures, discussion forums, vernissages , holiday workshops, art award ceremonies, receptions, presentations and club activities, with the garden being included.
The sculpture Constellation in front of the house from 1996 was made by Reinhard Buch .
The Mecklenburg Foundation has had its office here since 2009 .
