Dorf Mecklenburg, Administrative municipality in Nordwestmecklenburg District, Germany.

Dorf Mecklenburg is a municipality in Nordwestmecklenburg District comprising nine separate villages, including Karow, Kletzin, Moidentin, and Petersdorf. The area spreads across northern German landscape situated between Wismar and Schwerin.

The region takes its name from Mikilenburg Castle, a medieval stronghold that shaped the entire Mecklenburg area. This fortress established early connections between Baltic trade routes and inland territories.

The name comes from the Low German word 'Dorp,' which reveals the linguistic roots of communities in this northern Baltic region. This naming tradition shaped how local settlements developed and how people identify with the area.

The municipality connects well to the A20 Baltic motorway, A14, and B106 road network, providing easy access to Schwerin and Wismar. From here, traveling to surrounding regions and coastal areas is straightforward.

The Wallensteingraben, a medieval canal constructed in the late 1500s, connects Lake Schwerin to the Baltic Sea and serves as its sole outlet. This waterway defines the region's drainage system and remains an important hydrological feature.
