Nordwestmecklenburg District

Nordwestmecklenburg extends over 2,117 square kilometers of northern German territory, featuring coastal areas along the Baltic Sea and numerous lakes within its boundaries.

The district emerged in 1994 through the merger of Gadebusch, Grevesmühlen, and Wismar districts, with portions of Sternberg and Schwerin-Land joining the new administrative region.

The district preserves North German traditions through regional festivals, local dialects, and traditional cuisine, with Wismar serving as its administrative and cultural center.

The region maintains extensive transportation networks connecting major cities like Lübeck, Rostock, and Schwerin, with vehicle registration plates displaying NWM, GDB, GVM, or WIS codes.

Two substantial bodies of water, Schaalsee and Schweriner See lakes, partially occupy the district territory, creating natural boundaries with neighboring administrative regions.
