From the early 1950s until the withdrawal of Soviet troops in 1993, the Rechlin Wall divided the town of Rechlin into a Soviet north and a German south. It began as a wooden wall and was later replaced by a wall separating the civilian population from the military area. After the withdrawal of the troops, an approximately 80-meter-long original section of the wall was preserved on Fritz-Reuter-Straße, and the Mauerpark, opening in 2025, commemorates this history of division with a memorial and information panels. A circular path along the former course of the wall, marked by a blue line in the pavement, brings the history to life for visitors and offers insights into the special period of Rechlin's division.

The Rechlin Wall Memorial is located in the heart of Rechlin. An approximately 80-meter-long section of the former barrier has been preserved there, serving as a reminder of the time when the town was divided by the wall into a Soviet military zone and a civilian zone. Information panels explain the history and illustrate what daily life was like in the divided village. Since 2025, the newly created Wall Park has also been part of the memorial site. A monument was erected there to commemorate the decades-long division of Rechlin. The park combines the historical dimension with a place for contemplation and reflection. A blue line in the town also symbolically marks the course of the former wall. Thus, the memorial is now a central site of remembrance in the Müritz region – it makes a particular chapter of post-war history visible and invites visitors to understand the significance of this division for the village and its inhabitants.

The wall stood here until 1993 (!!)

A very nice stop if you are hiking nearby and need a break and something to eat. There was a large selection of fish sandwiches, and they also had sturgeon, smoked pike and eel.

There's a sailing school and boat rental nearby, but you can also simply dream of the freedom on the water as you walk by.

Müritz-Blick

The village church in Zielow, a simple half-timbered building, was built in 1833/34 on the foundations of an older, dilapidated church and stands on a fieldstone plinth above the Müritz shore. The small hall building has a flat wooden beam ceiling, simple mullioned windows, and a recessed ridge turret on the west side. Particularly noteworthy are the colorful pulpit with carved ironwork and an altarpiece from 1728 depicting Christ on the Cross. Instead of fixed pews, there are simple chairs; there is no organ, but a harmonium provides musical accompaniment. "Originally, there were two bells in the tower. The older one, from 1581, is no longer there. The younger bell was cast in 1866 in Waren (Müritz). This is rung by hand from the gallery during services." https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorfkirche_Zielow After falling into severe disrepair in the 1970s, the church was renovated in the 1980s and has been used for services again since then. The church is a quiet, historic site and an important testament to the religious and cultural traditions of the village of Zielow.
