Sternberger Band (architecture, only the diamonds are real), there used to be an architecture university in Sternberg that was very well known and where students from all over Europe wanted to enroll.
The Sternberger cake...
It was created in the underwater world of a seabed millions of years ago. Mussels, crabs, fish teeth, molluscs and snails crowd between cement-like rock. More than 500 species have been identified so far. Sometimes weathered and sometimes layered like a piece of pastry - the “Sternberger cake”.
In 1549 the Reformation was introduced in MVP at the Sagsdorf Bridge.
There were 2 main entrances to the city that were closed with gates and where customs houses stood. These were the main gates. The locking stones in the middle of the street still bear witness to this. A third gate was intended exclusively for cattle drives, through Kütinerstrasse. There and only there were the butchers based. The fourth gate was not locked. It leads via a steep entrance through a narrow gate.
There is also a knight's street where only the noble knights lived.
Three hospitals, one each for the upper class, middle class and the poor. A fourth hospital further outside the city walls was for those suffering from the plague.
On October 24, 1492, after a public trial, 27 Jews from all over Mecklenburg, who had been accused of violating the Host, were burned at the gates of the city. The remaining 247 were expelled from the country. The hill on which the pyre stood is still called Judenberg today.

Today's Sternberg town hall in the neo-Gothic style was built in 1845 and is located directly on the market square not far from the early Gothic town church of St. Maria and St. Nicholas. The three previous town halls fell victim to flames in city fires. From 1847 to 1913, state parliaments were held in the town hall.
