Grevesmühlen, Administrative center in Nordwestmecklenburg District, Germany.

The municipality of Grevesmühlen extends over 52 square kilometers at an elevation of 40 meters in northern Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, between Lübeck and Schwerin.

Grevesmühlen received its first documented mention in 1201, establishing itself as one of the region's primary settlements during the medieval period.
