No. 2/4: State Chancellery
No. 5–19, central: Ministry of Finance

No. 32/34

It is believed that since the 10th century, a dam and a bridge connected the Slavic castle Zuarin with the place through the swampy area . After Schwerin was founded in 1160, a new castle and a small network of medieval streets were built, which roughly followed the current course of the streets. The city wall was built east of Mecklenburgstrasse by 1340. To the west of the wall was the ditch that flowed from the Graefenmühle next to the street Hinterm Klosterhof (today Klosterstraße) to the Burgsee .

The old palace was built in the 18th century . The provost church of St. Anna was built until 1799. From 1850 to 1868 one of the Friedrich-Franz-Houses in Schwerin , which stood in Schloßstraße until 1890, housed the officers' dining establishment .

The so-called Collegiate Building I , today's State Chancellery, was built until 1835 and the Collegiate Building II (today the Ministry) until 1892. At the same time, a number of buildings were built as hotels (No. 9/11 and 12) and residential and commercial buildings in the direction of Mecklenburgstraße.

When today's Mecklenburgstraße developed to Schloßstraße at the end of the 19th century, the street to the castle also gained increasing importance as a shopping street and pedestrian zone. Buildings from the 1920s displaced older smaller houses and closed the street scene up to Marienplatz.

As part of urban development funding , the old town of Schwerin was redeveloped, and the street was redeveloped from the mid-1990s.

In terms of traffic , the street at Marienplatz is served by tram lines 1, 2 and 4 as well as bus lines 5, 7, 10, 12, 14 and 19 of Nahverkehr Schwerin GmbH and at Werderstraße / Schloss with line 10.
