Ludwigslust's Schlossstraße (Castle Street) is the town's main street for good reason, and compared to many other main streets in Germany, it's certainly a real eye-catcher.

The 35-meter-wide street begins at the castle bridge and offers separate zones for all types of road users – from drivers and cyclists to pedestrians and horseback riders – ensuring they don't endanger each other.

But what's even more impressive is that the street itself forms an axis of symmetry, with each side appearing to perfectly mirror the other. Every house corresponds to its counterpart in shape, height, and even width. The open space next to each house is also not randomly chosen, but always exactly the same size as the open space on the other side of the street. With so much symmetry, it's no wonder that neighbors often coordinate the plants on their street-facing balconies.

Ludwigslust is known for its characteristic linden trees, and these are, of course, also a prominent feature of Schlossstraße. This tree-lined avenue gives Schlossstrasse the finishing touch, transforming it into a truly magnificent street.

Ludwigslust Palace

Highlight • Castle

The baroque palace was built from 1772 to 1776 after the model of Versailles, after Ludwigslust had been designated as the seat of government of the Mecklenburg dukes in 1756. The 150 hectare castle park is one of the most beautiful facilities in Germany.

Louisen Island Memorial, Ludwigslust Palace Park

Highlight • Monument

On the way further towards the Schweizerhaus, a raised marble vase can be seen on the left hand side on a small island in the Louisen pond. It was installed there in 1805 in memory of two princesses who died too early: Louise (1779-1801) and Helena Paulowna (1784-1803). Louise, a daughter of Duke Friedrich Franz I, was engaged to the Swedish King Gustav IV on November 1, 1795, and was thus the designated Queen of Sweden. But she had to find out from the newspaper that her fiancé had left in September 1796, under pressure from Tsarina Katharina the Elder. Big ones, to whose granddaughter Alexandra of Russia was engaged. Louise broke down over it and has been severely anorexic ever since. In order to remove her from the mockery of the world, she was married against her will to a brutally transvestite cousin from Gotha-Altenburg. After a short life without love, she died of "emaciation" during her first birth and is buried in Gotha. (The child, a girl, survived and was then the mother of Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria, the ancestor of today's royals.)

The monument on Louisen Island also commemorates the beloved Tsar's daughter and hereditary princess Helena Paulowna, who died of consumption at the age of 18 and who is buried in the Helenen Paulownen mausoleum.

The mother or mother-in-law of the two princesses, Duchess Louise (wife of Friedrich Franz I), who withdrew a lot to the Schweizerhaus, always wanted to keep an eye on the memorial stone from there, which she commemorated the different but equally sad fates who both remembered. Her own life, at the side of her husband, who was in love with life and love, was probably not very lucky either.

The 24 "water jumps" in the Ludwigslust Canal in the Ludwigslust Palace Park are really worth seeing and it is worth cycling the beautiful path through the palace park here. The water jumps are operated exclusively through the water gradient.
