Schwerin Residence Ensemble
Created for the most part in the 19th century in what was then the capital of the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin in northeast Germany, the property comprises 38 elements, including the Grand Duke’s Residence Palace and manor houses, cultural and sacred buildings, and the Pfaffenteich ornamental lake. But it also fulfils all the functions required of a ducal capital in terms of administration, defence, service infrastructure, transportation, prestige and cultural activities, with parks, canals, ponds and lakes, and public spaces. The buildings form an exceptional architectural ensemble that reflects the historicist spirit of the time, ranging from neo-Renaissance to neo-Baroque and neo-Classical, with influences from the Italian Renaissance.
什未林住宅区
什未林住宅区大部分建于19世纪上半叶，位于当时的梅克伦堡—什未林大公国首都，现今德国东北部。住宅区由38个部分组成，包括大公府邸和庄园、文化和宗教建筑、普法芬（Pfaffenteich）景观湖等。其中的公园、运河、池塘湖泊和公共空间满足了公国首都在行政、防卫、服务类基础设施、交通、文化、政治影响方面的所有需求。这些建筑形成独特的建筑群，反映了当年时代精神的历史脉络，展现意大利文艺复兴影响下的新文艺复兴、新巴洛克、新古典主义艺术风格。
