The Marstall:
The Marstall served as a stable for the horses and carriages of the Grand Ducal Court and their staff. After the Grand Duke's abdication in 1918, the building became state property and was rented out. In 1938, it was converted into a police barracks, and in 1945, into a barracks for the Soviet occupying forces. After 1956, the Marstall was converted for office and administrative purposes.

In the 1970s and 80s, the riding hall served as a secondary venue for the Mecklenburg State Theater in Schwerin. Since 1997, the State Museum of Technology has been housed here. Since 1989, the Marstall has served as the seat of the state administration. The building underwent extensive renovations between 2003 and 2009.

The Schwerin Marstall
On the Werderstraße on a small headland is the historic Marstall. According to the plans of Gottfried Adolf Demmler the Marstall was built from 1837 - 1842. He had the function horse stable and riding hall. The ducal horses with their riding harness were originally brought here. In the adjoining buildings were the quarters of the staff of the Marstall. Today, parts of the Technical Museum and the Ministry of Education of Mecklenburg Vorpommern are located in the stables.

The building was built according to the time in classicist style. To the side of the central building (riding hall) extend two long wings, which each bend twice at right angles and thus form an almost closed courtyard. The building complex includes the riding hall (now the entrance hall of the museum), the horse stable and a wing for the accommodation of wagons and riding harness. The other building wing housed the quarters of the staff of the Marstall.

After the ducal residence was relocated from Ludwigslust to Schwerin after more than 70 years in 1837, the construction of larger government buildings was necessary. Thus, the old stables at the Old Garden were considered too small. The Marstall was built to plans by Georg Adolf Demmler in the years 1838-1842 on the former Wadewiesen. The name of the meadows derives from the use of the drying of fishing nets (calves). Also, there was previously the woodyard of the castle. The construction was based on the Ludwigsluster Marstall by Johann Georg Barca. Construction management for the Schwerin Marstall was handled by building engineer Carl Behnke.

Since 1990, the building is the seat of the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The Marstall was extensively renovated in the years 2003 to 2007. Since 2009, there is also the seat of the Ministry of Labor, Equality and Social Affairs of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
