In the Gertruden Chapel in a former cemetery, some of Barlach's most important and beautiful sculptures are on display (the "Laughing Old Woman", the "Reading Monastery Student", "Doubter", "Reunion"), and in the garden there is the rediscovered "Mother Earth" and sculptures by other artists. Ernst Barlach: Born in 1870, Barlach grew up in the Hamburg area and Mecklenburg, studied art and did this and that; was unsuccessful for a long time until he traveled to Russia at the age of 36 and brought inspiration and ideas from there/from the folk art there. Since then, Barlach created down-to-earth, authentic, earth-rooted, often clunky figures and was successful with them. At 40 he went to Güstrow, at 56 he had his studio house built, and died at 68. He created impressive sculptures, monuments, graphics and plays. The two Barlach museums are highly recommended.

Located not far from Güstrow town centre, the Gothic Gertruden Chapel was opened in 1953 as the first Barlach Museum in Güstrow. The chapel houses around 30 sculptures and reliefs by Ernst Barlach, all of which were created during his time in Güstrow.

In front of the post office stands the Borwin fountain with the statue of Heinrich Borwin II (1170-1226), Prince of Mecklenburg, Lord of Rostock and founder of the city of Güstrow. The crowning figure in the middle of the fountain was created in 1889 by the sculptor Richard Thiele from Hamburg, one of Ernst Barlach's teachers. The hexagonal sandstone fountain was designed by Georg Daniel from Schwerin. Source:https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postamt_G%C3%BCstrow

In 1896, the two-storey, historicizing Imperial Post Office was completed according to plans by Hubert. The main entrance is located in the corner of the building in the tower. Three gable projections structure the building. The four-storey, urbanistically dominant tower with a bay window, the surrounding balcony in the open upper level and the octagonal onion-shaped helmet with the lantern and the weather vane was renovated in 1956 and given a slate covering. After slate panels came loose and fell to the ground, the tower helmet had to be secured and renovated in 1984; it was now given a copper covering. In 1995, the helmet was renovated again, being removed and reinstalled using a special crane. Until 1929, the telegraph and telephone lines were routed into the building via the tower.

Right in the old town center.

Practical because it is located in the middle of Güstrow.

A rose garden without roses! Funny....

What a beautiful house.
