Neustadt-Glewe

Neustadt-Glewe is an urban municipality in Ludwigslust-Parchim District in northeastern Germany, featuring residential areas, green spaces, and historic buildings spread across its territory. The town has railway connections and combines agricultural land with developed residential zones.

The town was founded in 1201 as a settlement in the region. During World War II, it became the site of a concentration camp between 1944 and 1945 that held numerous prisoners.

The town belongs to the Neustadt in Europa network, which connects cities sharing the same name and fosters regular exchange between communities. Visitors can sense the importance of this connection in local initiatives and events that keep this international partnership alive.

The best time to explore is during warmer months when outdoor areas are more accessible and local events take place. For getting around, walking or driving works well, since the railway station is centrally located and serves as a good reference point.

The Alte Burg is one of the oldest military castles in Mecklenburg and brings visitors closer to the region's medieval history. Nearby stands a Baroque palace from the 18th century, now functioning as a hotel and creating an architectural contrast with the older fortress.
