mecklenburg

mecklenburg is a land of lakes, you know?

lake innerer schweriner see 👾👙🐋

like in brandenburg, we have seen interesting stuff again and learned that from the 4th century were huge parts of today's east german federal state of mecklenburg-vorpommern settled by west slavic tribes. let's hope the slaves have been assimilated (or they flew to the east?) and not killed ...

our stops at our way up to the baltic sea and at the way down to bavaria later on were:

lake innerer schweriner see
castle ruin reppiner burg
schwerin
lake roter see
sternberg in mecklenburg (not my grandma's birthplace sternberg in bohemia)
neubrandenburg
lake tollensee
old slavic castle burg stargard built 1100 - 1200
feldberg

enjoy few pictures 😃

thatched roofs (reetdach) are typical for this area

lake tollensee, neubrandenburg

what a tick (zecke)!

neubrandenburg is famous for its medieval and still intact city walls and its gates

an old mill from 1287 (?)

old meets new ... nice meets ugly, too?

the old slavic castle stargard (located in today's city burg stargard) built between 1100 and 1200. in today's slavic languages it would be spelled stargrad which means 'old castle', if you asked me. like e.g. beograd / belgrad in serbia, which means 'white castle'.
