Neustädtisches Palais

The Neustädtisches Palais (also known as Marienpalais) is a magnificent 18th-century building in Schwerin's Schelfstadt district. The building at Puschkinstraße 19 is a listed building. Since June 2006, it has served as the headquarters of the Ministry of Justice of the State of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.The plastered building was constructed in 1779 according to plans by Johann Joachim Busch. A redesign of the Neustädtisches Palais in the French Renaissance style, largely equivalent to a new construction, was carried out by Hermann Willebrand in 1877/78.The plastered facade incorporates Baroque and Renaissance elements.Interior features include the cast-iron staircase in the side stairwell,
the stucco ceilings, and the framed doors.The land on which the palace now stands was acquired in 1708 by Frederick William
for his brother Christian Ludwig II, on which the Prinzenhof (also Ludwigshof) was subsequently built.Until 1945, various government agencies were housed in the building. In 1947, it was made available to the Society for the Study of Soviet Culture for its political, ideological, and cultural-political work and renamed the Maxim Gorki House (also: House of German-Soviet Friendship).From 1990 to 1998, the Neustadt Palace served as the seat of the city council and the mayor, after which it stood vacant again. From 2003 to 2008, the complex underwent extensive renovations totaling €11.3 million. In June 2006, the Ministry of Justice of the State of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania moved into the premises.The hall reopened in April 2009. In 2010, a special prize was awarded for its reconstruction as part of the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania State Building Prize.de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neust%C3%A4dtisches_Palais

The Neustädter Palais was built and used as a temporary residence for the Grand Duke during the renovation work in the palace. The building is located on Puschkinstrasse in the south of Schelfstadt, not far from the Minister's Palace in the midst of historic buildings.The Neustädter Palais was built as a two-storey building with a slate mansard roof. In its current appearance, which the Neustädter Palais was given by the Mecklenburg building official Hermann Willebrand, the palace is reminiscent of buildings from the French Renaissance and the Baroque.
