history

1950s, nos. 9-17
No. 13 and cathedral
No. 15
No. 16

In 1171 Berno , the first bishop of the Schwerin diocese , consecrated the Schwerin cathedral and the cathedral chapter can be traced back to 1178. Before and after that, a small network of medieval streets was built. West of the street, according to a map from after 1340, between Pfaffenteich (formerly Mühlenteich) and Grafenmühle (today corner of Schloßstraße ) was the city wall with the forged gate and to the east the market.

When Poststrasse (now Mecklenburgstrasse) developed to Schmiedestrasse in the 19th century, the road connecting to the market also gained increasing importance and became one of the most important pedestrian and shopping streets in the city.

As part of urban development funding , the old town of Schwerin became a redevelopment area, and the street was redeveloped from the mid-1990s. After the renovation of Marienplatz , the focus of shopping shifted to this traffic junction.

In terms of traffic, the street at nearby 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 on Arsenal- / Friedrichstraße by line 11.
