Old Town of Schwerin
Highlight • Settlement

de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altstadt_(Schwerin)
Schwerin Castle is an absolute highlight with a long history. In 1160, the Wendish prince Niklot burned the Slavic fortress and withdrew. Henry the Lion rebuilt it, laying the foundation for the present-day city of Schwerin.
The castle now houses the state parliament and a museum.

Banzkow Lock and Bascule Bridge
Highlight • Bridge
In the course of making the Stör navigable in 1576, the first lock was built in Banzkow. The sturgeon plays an increasingly important role as a transport route. It became necessary to use ships that were as large as possible for the transport of goods. The existing lock no longer served this purpose. It was converted to the Finow size (barges with a carrying capacity of up to around 200 t).
Bridge:
A crossing over the Stör has always been of particular importance to Banzkow. An important trade route from Hamburg to Neubrandenburg ran through Banzkow. Travelers from Lübeck to Crivitz also passed through here. The importance of the Banzkow Bridge can be seen from the fact that in 1800 many freight teams and cattle used this route over the Stör every day.
In front of the lock in 1897 a two-way swing bridge was erected, which was initially opened by hand and later by an electric drive. In 1952 construction work on the swing bridge was required. The spans were increased to 5.90 m and 7.70 m, the clear height was therefore 1 m. Over the years, the entire road surface, which consisted of thick wooden planks, had to be renewed several times.
In 2002, the municipality of Banzkow received a completely new bascule bridge over the Stör Canal.

Equestrian Statue of Grand Duke Friedrich Franz II (Schwerin Palace Garden)
Highlight • Monument
The work of the Mecklenburg sculptor Ludwig Brunow was ceremoniously unveiled in 1893 - in the presence of high-ranking state guests such as Emperor Wilhelm II and Grand Duke Vladimir of Russia, as well as everyone who was of rank and name in the Mecklenburg court nobility. Inspired by the equestrian statues of Roman emperors and the Prussian Elector in Berlin, it was designed according to the typical, mostly military-influenced taste of the late 19th century. The figures of the Grand Duke and his horse stand on a marble base more than 4 m high.
The base is surrounded by allegories of the 4 ruler virtues: strength, justice, wisdom and faith. Two commemorative plaques show events from the reign of Friedrich Franz II - the construction of the new university building in Rostock and the Grand Duke's arrival in Schwerin in 1871.
The monument survived two wars and two dictatorships with great luck. It escaped being melted down for war purposes, the iconoclasm after the end of the war and being scrapped.
