The Wrangelsche Palais was a building from 1664 in the Hanseatic city of Stralsund at Heilgeiststraße 37 .

The house was built between 1660 and 1664 for the Governor General of Sweden , Carl Gustav Graf Wrangel . It was the first baroque palace in Stralsund.

It had three floors. In the middle of the ground floor was the entrance gate, which was closed by an iron-studded door. Left and right of it were two windows facing the street. On the two floors above, the building had five windows facing the street, with those on the top floor, where the service staff lived, only half as high as the windows below. The courtyard was delimited by two side wings and a transept.

Wrangel died on July 5, 1676 at his Spyker Castle . From 1730 the seat of the governor general was in the Swedish government palace called “ Meyerfeldtsches Palais ” on Badenstrasse . The building in Heilgeiststrasse was bought by the instrument maker Johann Philipp Lindner on April 6, 1843 for 9,775 Reichstaler . In 1860 it was acquired by the merchant Albert Friedrich Zöllner for 21,000 Reichstaler. Zöllner ran his “linen and equipment shop” here, which was later continued by Emma Zöllner. In the annex, the customs officers ran a flower room with a greenhouse. On June 30, 1913, Emma Zöllner applied to the city council to set up a cinema theater , which was rejected for security reasons. Emma Zöllner's application to build a new building with a cinema in the courtyard of the building was also rejected. The reason given was, among other things, that the parish of the Jakobikirche might have objections to an exit to their churchyard. However, as early as 1815, the community had granted the then owner of the Wrangel Palace, Prince zu Putbus, this right in return for an annual payment.

The Wrangel Palace was completely destroyed in the bombing raid on Stralsund on October 6, 1944 . Today there is a park on the site.
