    Schwerin Central Station is located in the Paulsstadt district, north-west of the city center of the Mecklenburg - Western Pomeranian state capital of Schwerin. The station is designed as a through station and has four tracks on two platforms and a through track west of the fourth track.
    The representative entrance building of the station was built in 1889-1890 according to designs by Ernst Moeller.
