What is life like in Neustrelitz? What are the issues that move the city? As a guest of the city, I would like to give you a “look behind the scenes”. A brief glimpse that reduces the distance between the role of a tourist and the everyday life of the locals.

The city center is based on a plan from the Baroque period. 300 years ago, for practical reasons, a town was needed near the castle. The site wasn’t ideal, but the planners and builders have done a good job over time. The tourist highlights of the city center should not be neglected. But I would like to go into the city as a whole and also bring you closer to the other parts of the city. Neustrelitz is spacious and has diverse urban landscapes. From sleepy villages to the ensemble of socialist modernism. From the harbor basin to the pine forest.

Neustrelitz was the royal seat of one of the smallest German states. The city of Schwerin, that was the sister in a complicated relationship. Berlin, that was the successful neighbor. In the course of the 20th century it changed from a residential city to a provincial city, but architecture has conserved the glorious days. To get to know Neustrelitz you also need an overview of the city’s history.
