About Weststadt
Where to stay in Weststadt
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Weststadt is an address in Schwerin before it is a base. Rooms sit among ordinary streets, and the choice comes down to whether you want the Paulskirche end, with its church frontages on Schloßstraße, or the ground beside the Sport- und Kongresshalle. Event nights change that.
The Mecklenburgisches Eisenbahn- und Technikmuseum sits in the same district, so a stay here trades centre-of-town footfall for quiet blocks and a short run in.
About Weststadt
What are the main landmarks in Weststadt?
Churches come first. The Paulskirche and the Schelf church head the district's list of monuments, and behind them stands the Sport- und Kongresshalle, a hall built for events on a scale the surrounding streets do not attempt. Addresses fill the rest.
Puschkinstraße 17 and Puschkinstraße 28 stand on the list by number alone, as do Schloßstraße 26 and Schloßstraße 30, and the Mecklenburgisches Eisenbahn- und Technikmuseum closes it.
What is the history of Weststadt?
Little is written down. No founding date is recorded for Weststadt, and no chronicle stands behind it, so the district's past has to be read from the names on its list of monuments rather than from any written account. Two churches carry it.
The Schelf church and the Paulskirche head that list, and beneath them the numbered frontages of Schloßstraße and Puschkinstraße account for most of what the register names in Weststadt.
Where is Weststadt?
Weststadt is one of Schwerin's built-up quarters, its street plan reaching from the Schelf church and Schloßstraße over to the Sport- und Kongresshalle.
