The officers' mess in Schwerin was built between 1897 and 1900 and is picturesquely situated on Ostdorfer Berg, opposite the castle and above the baroque lawn cascade. The building, an example of neo-Renaissance architecture, houses a magnificent officers' mess and is part of the historic barracks ensemble that has been preserved to this day.

The officers' mess in Schwerin, built between 1897 and 1900, sits picturesquely on Ostdorfer Berg, opposite the castle and above the baroque lawn cascade. It connects the old and new artillery barracks and serves as a central point for the Prussian-German Imperial troops stationed in Schwerin.
Planning and construction management was carried out by building councillor Oskar Wutsdorff, who managed to combine imperial requirements with a regional architectural style. The neo-Renaissance architecture of the officers' mess features a magnificent façade on the palace side with a striking flanking tower and a spiral staircase leading to a belvedere with a panoramic view. The ornate façades are decorated with terracotta and molded tiles, with the Prussian eagle and coats of arms being prominent details.
After the Second World War, the casino was used by the Soviet army. After a period of decay, it was acquired by the Hydraulik Nord group of companies in 2012, extensively renovated and now serves as company headquarters with representation, consulting and office space.
