Description [EN]
The Museum of the City of Pasewalk was opened in 1996 as a modern new museum building and is thus one of the few institutions of its kind in Mecklenburg‑Western Pomerania. Today it offers a versatile insight into the history of the city and its surrounding area.
In the Prenzlauer Gate and the adjacent building, the permanent exhibition presents four central thematic areas across roughly 180 m². It guides visitors through the prehistoric and early history between the Uecker and Randow, shows the development of the medieval town, highlights the Prussian garrison period, and addresses the destruction in World War II as well as the reconstruction in the GDR. The exhibition combines historical objects with illustrative displays, making more than 750 years of the town’s history comprehensible.
On the top floor of the gate tower there is also an exhibition about the regional artist Paul Holz. The museum preserves an extensive collection of his works and thus offers a special insight into his life and oeuvre.
The program is complemented by rotating temporary exhibitions and an interactive hands‑on room that invites visitors of all ages to take part. Much of the content is presented in three languages (German, Polish, English) and can in part be explored further via QR codes.
The Museum of the City of Pasewalk is a place where regional history and art become tangible in an understandable and accessible way—ideal for anyone who wants to get to know the city and its past more closely.
