Sternberg town hall
The Town Hall of Sternberg dates from the 19th century. It is located in the center of Sternberg directly on the market square of the town center in the immediate vicinity of the early Gothic town church of St. Maria and St. Nicholas .
timeline
Around 1230 to 1250, Sternberg was laid out according to plan with a grid-like road network in a slightly elliptical floor plan. In 1248 Prince Pribislaw I granted the Sternberg settlement town charter . The first town hall burned like many buildings in the great fire of 1308.
In 1622 Sternberg received the court court, which performed its duties in the former town hall. Due to the Thirty Years' War, the court moved its activities to Parchim from 1626 to 1651 . In 1659, Sternberg was completely destroyed again by a city fire. The court and district court was therefore permanently moved to Parchim.
The successor building was also destroyed in 1741. A new town hall was not built until 1803. In 1825 the house of the knightly club was built next to the town hall . In 1841 the Magistratssparkasse was founded here as a forerunner of the Sparkasse . But even this town hall building soon no longer met the necessary requirements.
Therefore, it was in 1845 the present Town Hall - originally a two-storey timber-frame building, which the market front with his 1850 Tudor Gothic received plaster architecture - built.
In 1992/1993 this building was extensively renovated and on August 19, 1993 it was reopened.
Diets in Sternberg and Malchin
In the Sternberg Reversals of July 2, 1572, Sternberg was set as a permanent state parliament. Since Mecklenburg was divided into the two parts Schwerin and Güstrow by the Second Mecklenburg Main State Division of 1621 (Güstrow Reversals and Inheritance Treaty) , the state parliament of the Mecklenburg corporate state met alternately in Sternberg and in the town hall of Malchin from 1628 to 1916 . Initially, the state parliament met on the Judenberg. From 1634 people commuted between Judenberg, town hall, cloister courtyard and court court. From 1847 the state parliaments were held continuously in the town hall. The last state parliament in the town hall took place in 1913.
