Villas on Werderstrasse

Monuments and Sights, Historical Buildings

Annastrasse in Schwerin, built between 1862 and 1866, presents a series of neo-Renaissance villas that served as residences for aristocratic families and wealthy citizens. The picturesque façades are based on the formal language of the residential palace and feature spacious courtyards and elegant conservatories.

Around 1858, the idea of improving the views from the Residenzschloss to the newly built lakeside promenade and Annastrasse was developed. Frederick Franz II had the development on Annastrasse accelerated with start-up funding from the Grand Ducal administration and the planning of the lakeside façades by court architect Hermann Willebrand. The ceremonial opening of Annastrasse as a lakeside promenade took place in 1862 and ensured a quick connection between the Residenzschloss and the Marstall for carriage traffic. Between 1862 and 1866, the magnificent villas were built by servants of the nobility and wealthy citizens of the royal seat. Master bricklayer Ferdinand Schultz and court carpenter Christian Lemcke were responsible for the construction work. The neo-Renaissance façades, which are based on the formal language of the royal palace, stand out with their round pediments, towers, pilasters and arched windows. The generously proportioned inner courtyards offer space for carriages and horses as well as the popular, elaborately designed conservatories.
