Ernst Barlach Theater

Theatres

The Ernst Barlach Theater in Güstrow is a guest theater with 365 seats. The program offers a varied program of spoken word, music and dance theater, children's and youth theater, cabaret, cabaret, rock and jazz concerts, and symphony concerts.

The Ernst Barlach Theater in Güstrow is the oldest civic theater in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The classicist building was erected in 1828 according to plans by the Schwerin architect Georg Adolph Demmler with donations from the citizens of Güstrow.

A fundamental renovation of the aging theater building took place in 1955-57, leaving only the listed facade. Inside the theater, however, extensive renovations had become necessary because moisture and sponge had destroyed the masonry. The stage, including the backstage, was enlarged and the stage equipment modernized. Since its reopening, the Güstrow municipal theater has borne the name "Ernst-Barlach-Theater". Since 1976, the theater has been run by the district.

Ernst Barlach Museums Güstrow - Gertruden Chapel

Gertrudenplatz, 18273 Güstrow

Located not far from the center of Güstrow, the Gothic Gertruden Chapel was opened in 1953 as the first Barlach Museum in Güstrow. The chapel houses about 30 sculptures and reliefs by Ernst Barlach, all of which were created during the Güstrow period.

Güstrow Cathedral

Domplatz, 18273 Güstrow

Construction of the cathedral began in 1226 and was not completed until 1335 with the consecration of the altar. The transition from the Romanesque to the Gothic period can be clearly seen at Güstrow Cathedral. The cruciform ground plan and the elongated choir room point to the Romanesque concept. The massive west tower is 44 meters high.

Parish Church of St. Mary

Open today
Markt, 18273 Güstrow

The Güstrow parish church stands on the market square in the immediate vicinity of the town hall. The first documented mention of the parish church dates back to 1308. After the fire in the center of Güstrow in 1503, which also destroyed the church, it was rebuilt and consecrated in 1508. When you enter the parish church, the first thing you see is the completely restored Jan Borman altar from 1522. This work of art, the ornate pulpit, the impressive organ and a small Barlach angel are already reasons enough to take a look around. But there is one very special highlight that you should not miss: 196 steps lead up to the 41 meter high observation deck of the highest building in Güstrow. A magnificent view over the city and Heidberge, the lakes and the meadows leaves many tourists amazed.
