Neustadt-Glewe

Few towns in Mecklenburg have a history as closely tied to the Counts of Schwerin as Neustadt-Glewe. Set beside the Elde in western Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the town developed around a fortified residence established by Count Gunzelin III of Schwerin in the 13th century. Burg Neustadt-Glewe still gives the centre its defining silhouette, combining medieval defensive structures with later Renaissance alterations. The Elde forms part of a navigable waterway between the Mecklenburg lake district and the Elbe, adding a waterside character to the town. Nearby lies the Lewitz, a lowland area of meadows, woods and waterways. Move on to other webcams in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern to compare landscapes and settings around the Elde.
