About Schwerin
The satellite and map view shows Schwerin, the capital of the northeastern German Federal State of
Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Schwerin is the oldest town in today's Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania; in 1164 it received German town rights (German: Stadtrecht) from Henry the Lion. In GDR times it served as the capital of East Germany's Schwerin district (Bezirk Schwerin) until Germany's reunification in 1990.
The city is located at Schweriner See (Lake Schwerin) in northern
Germany about 100 km east of
Hamburg and about 40 km inland south of the Baltic Sea. The second-largest city of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern has a population of almost 100,000 inhabitants.
