March 23, 2026, Ludwigslust City Wall

Ludwigslust is a fascinating city, but there is a small peculiarity here that often causes confusion: Ludwigslust never had a medieval city wall. While many older cities in Mecklenburg (like Schwerin or Rostock) were protected by massive walls and defensive towers, Ludwigslust is a comparatively "young" city. It was planned in the 18th century as a baroque residence city on a drawing board. Instead of a stone fortification, Ludwigslust had an excise wall (Steuermauer) or simple palisade fences. These did not serve military purposes, but economic ones.
