Güstrow, District capital in Rostock District, Germany.

The city extends along the Nebel River, featuring a Renaissance palace from 1589 and a Gothic cathedral built between 1226 and 1335.

From 1520 to 1695, Güstrow functioned as the residence for the dukes of Mecklenburg-Güstrow until the last duke passed away.

The cathedral holds the Floating Angel sculpture by Ernst Barlach, representing a memorial to the soldiers who died in World War I.

The city connects to regional transportation through the Rostock S-Bahn terminus and operates regular bus services through rebus GmbH company.

The name Güstrow originates from the Polabian word Guščerov, which translates to a place of lizards in the ancient Slavic language.
