Parchim, District capital in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany

The city of Parchim extends along both sides of the Elde River, with numerous waterways dividing the urban landscape into distinct sections.

Parchim received its city rights in 1210, serving as the center of a medieval principality that existed between 1238 and 1316.

The central marketplace of Parchim features traditional North German brick architecture, reflecting the regional building methods of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

The municipal administration operates from the town hall, providing services to residents of both the city and surrounding Ludwigslust-Parchim district.

Parchim maintains a network of water channels from the Elde River, which historically powered multiple watermills throughout the city center.
