Ludwigslust City Wall

Highlight • Monument

The palisade fence surrounding the residential town of Ludwigslust since 1791 was replaced from 1822 onwards by a brick town wall infilled with bog iron ore. The churchyard wall, built between 1791 and 1792, served as a model. Work began under the architect Johann Georg Barca, who transformed the hunting lodge, which had been converted into a residence by Johann Joachim Busch, into a bourgeois town.

Theodor Körner Museum and Wöbbelin Memorial Site

Highlight • Historical Site

Contradictions in German history are seldom as clear as in the Wöbbelin memorials. On the one hand, the museum presents the life of the German poet Theodor Körner in the exhibition “Theodor Körner. 1791 - 1813. Poet and patriot. His elevation to the idol ”, on the other hand, the history of the concentration camp near Wöbbelin has been remembered since 1965.

On August 27, 1813, the poet Carl Theodor Körner was buried here, who was fatally wounded as a volunteer in the Lützow Freikorps in the so-called "Wars of Liberation" against Napoleon near Gadebusch. As early as 1814, a memorial was erected at the burial site in Wöbbelin for the well-known writer and patriot. The memorials and memorials recall Körner's life in a historical context and show the political and ideological appropriation of his life by subsequent generations.

During the Second World War, there was a concentration camp near Wöbbelin on the road to Ludwigslust. The recently established satellite camp of the Neuengamme concentration camp only existed for ten weeks, from February 12 to May 2, 1945. During the short period of its existence, the Wöbbelin camp was a station for over 5,000 victims of the Hitler regime. The prisoners came from more than 25 nations, over 1000 of them died of disease, hunger and exhaustion as a result of the extreme prison conditions. After the liberation of the camp, the last victims were buried in various places on the orders of the American military authorities, including in the same grove as the poet Theodor Körner.

In addition to guided tours through the permanent exhibition on the history of the Wöbbelin concentration camp, the memorials and memorials organize talks with contemporary witnesses as well as film screenings, lectures, readings, seminars and workshops for visitors.

Old Castle Neustadt-Glewe

Highlight • Castle

The castle has had various uses during its almost 800-year history. Until the 18th century it served as the residence and administrative center of the Mecklenburg dukes. During the 30 Years War, Wallenstein stayed in the castle for 3 days. The ironworks located in the city allowed him to produce iron military equipment.
With the completion of the nearby castle in 1717, the castle lost its character as a ruler's seat. The Duke's former living quarters became a stables and remained as part of the Redefin State Stud until 1954. The former farm building also had various uses, including serving as an orangery, living room, school, technical college and youth hostel. After extensive renovation of the entire castle complex, which was completed in 2006, the castle now houses the museum, a wedding room, the city information center and the restaurant. Guided tours and events accompany the year.
No other medieval castle in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is as well preserved.
