Gadebusch Station and Historic Trains

Highlight • Historical Site

The historic Gadebusch station opened on October 12, 1897, and is a remarkable testament to Mecklenburg's railway history. It was built on the Schwerin–Rehna railway line, operated by the Grand Ducal Mecklenburg Friedrich-Franz Railway. The listed building impresses with its elaborate architecture, featuring a half-timbered upper story and a striking turret.

After years of vacancy and impending decay, the station was sold and extensively renovated in 2009. Since May 2012, it has housed the "Station Burgsee" restaurant and has been transformed into a lovingly designed adventure station.

A special highlight for visitors—especially those on bike tours—are the two historic sleeping cars on site: a former GDR government train from 1968 with six sleeping compartments, and a faithfully restored Orient Express car from 1941. Both can now be booked as exceptional overnight accommodations.

Anyone taking a cycling tour through West Mecklenburg should definitely plan a cultural detour to Gadebusch station – whether for a coffee break in a historic setting or a special overnight stay with railway flair.

Gadebusch Historic Train Station

Highlight • Historical Site

In 1897 the Grand Ducal Mecklenburg Friedrich-Franz Railway opened the railway line from Schwerin to Rehna via Gadebusch. The station was built just outside the city. Freight traffic was also operated on the route for almost 100 years. Its peak was reached around 1970 when, in addition to the freight station, there was also a siding for several companies in the industrial area. Coal, building materials, agricultural machinery and fertilizers were transported to Gadebusch, while mainly agricultural products such as grain, sugar beet and slaughter cattle were transported. The railway line from Rehna to Parchim is now operated continuously by the East German Railway.

There is still a stop here today. The historic train station is now restoration and freshly painted.

Dümmersee Beach

Highlight • Beach

Road-bound bike paths, quiet community roads and forest trails provide an ideal environment for smaller and larger bike tours around the Dümmersee. The signs simplify orientation in the community.
At the same time, the municipality of Dümmer is located on the national cycling route from Schwerin to Zarrentin in the Schaalsee Biosphere Reserve.

Perlin Village Church

Highlight • Religious Site

On the way from Gadebusch to Wittenburg, the Kirchdorf Perlin is a little off the beaten track. The place was first mentioned in 1222. The church is a towerless fieldstone building from the middle of the 13th century, but only the window in the east wall of the chancel and the pointed-arched portal of the priest's door on the south wall have survived from the original Gothic style.
The retracted square chancel has a cupola vault on rectangular ribs and a slightly pointed triumphal arch.
After a fire in 1734, the nave was rebuilt in its current form and covered with a flat ceiling. The half-timbered gables on the east sides of the nave and chancel also date from the time of the new building.
On the west side is a free-standing belfry with a bronze bell from 1735, cast by Laurentius Strahlborn in Lübeck. The coat of arms of the founder Elisabet Margaret Sophia von Lützow, née von Ditten, is also found on the bell with the inscription.
In 1946 the entire interior was destroyed by the Soviet occupying forces. In 1948, after a temporary renovation, the church was rededicated. In 1992 the renovation of the building including the belfry was completed and in 1995 the renovation of the interior. The eye-catcher of the new, simple interior is the rustic altar table with the triumphal cross from the Pokrent church.
In the adjoining cemetery there is a small burial chapel made of brick. Behind it is a family grave of the Counts of Bassewitz.
