Your Place in the District 2026: Schwerin experiences a special summer day

A summer day full of ideas, music, and community spirit in Schwerin

On June 21, 2026, the site of the former city lighting in Schwerin will open its gates for a special public day. Under the motto Your Place in the District, the area at Am Werder 2 will transform into a lively place for discovery, exchange, and new perspectives.

A site that connects history and future

The event focuses on an area that is undergoing change: Citizens will have the rare opportunity to explore buildings and land up close and engage with their own ideas in the future development. This is precisely what makes this district day special: It connects urban development, participation, and festival atmosphere in an open, immediate way.

Guided walks as the heart of the day

At 12 PM, Bernd Nottebaum, 1st Deputy Mayor and Building Officer, will open the first guided walk through the site and buildings. Another tour will follow at 3 PM. Those who join will experience the area not just as a place of planning but as a space for concrete ideas, questions, and discussions about the district of tomorrow.

Lamp flea market, music, dance, and children's circus

Apart from the tours, a diverse supporting program ensures a light, summery multi-day experience: A lamp flea market, music, dance, and a children's circus program will bring movement and color to the site. This creates an open sense of community that connects the neighborhood concept with entertainment and encounters.

What visitors can expect

The event is aimed at everyone who wants to discover Schwerin from a new perspective and is eager to contribute to the development of a special place. The interplay of guided tours, participatory ideas, and cultural programs makes the day a format that goes far beyond a traditional tour. Anyone wanting to experience urban development in a lively manner should not miss this date.

Conclusion: Your Place in the District connects discovery, participation, and summer open-air atmosphere in an unusual place in Schwerin. A visit is worthwhile for all who are curious about the city, neighborhood, and new ideas.
