development

No. 40

After Grand Duke Paul Friedrich moved the ducal court from Ludwigslust to Schwerin in 1837 , the city expanded to the west according to plans by court architect Georg Adolf Demmler ; the Paulsstadt and the Feldstadt expanded. The cathedral cemetery Schwerin was from 1779 to about 1863 near the old town, on the road. The old cemetery in today's Weststadt was built from 1863. In 1857 Demmler presented plans to expand the city to include a new district west of the Obotritenring; the plan was not approved by the citizens in 1866. Only in the 20th century from the 1920s did the eastern side of the Weststadt develop and from 1955 the area was expanded.

In terms of traffic , the street is opened up at the beginning by tram line 2 and continuously by bus lines 12 and 14 of Nahverkehr Schwerin GmbH (NVS). The stops for tram lines 1, 2 and 4 as well as bus lines 5, 7, 10, 12, 14 and 19 are at nearby Marienplatz .
