Tips from the Community
Until approx. 1968, poor, old and sick people still lived there (in the end only a few women). After that, the social use ended (after almost 700 years).

The city is located "amidst seven hills" in the Lindenbach valley. The famous hilltop castle Stargard towers above this valley — a very picturesque setting that attracts many hikers and tourists.

The town church combines medieval substance with Baroque/Rococo redesign and Neo-Gothic elements – typical of many Mecklenburg churches that have survived multiple destructions.

In the Middle Ages, there was a large enclosed area here with a pleasure garden (similar to a small park), gardener's house, falconry, apiaries, dog kennels, and a cemetery. The princely family used it for leisurely strolls. After destruction during the Thirty Years' War, only the name "Burggarten" remained.

The memorial stone commemorates the transitional period after the First World War in Mecklenburg-Strelitz: from the German Empire to the Weimar Republic. Leuss embodies a contradictory biography – from a radical anti-Semite to a social democratic politician. In local publications of the town of Burg Stargard, he is primarily highlighted as the last Landdrost of Burg. The stone has been preserved to this day and is a visible local monument on the Burgberg.

A must-visit for anyone in the area. Visiting this place is like visiting a museum. Everything is just like it was 30 years ago. The taste of the ice cream, the decor, the reasonable prices... even the ladies behind the counter haven't changed ;-) ...

A nice rest area. Part of it is covered, and there's a bench next to it. Unfortunately, both areas have already been vandalized.
