Schwerin

The Capital of and oldest city in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (since 1018) The Palace one used by the Dukes of Mecklenburg now serves as the city hall (pretty nice place to call an office ahhah.) The city also has a interesting ww2 history: it suffered little damage and was taken by the Americans who turned it over to the British who in turn gave it soviets  which then became East Germany and following the fall of the fall Schwerin became the Capital of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern which was re-established as a State following German reunification.
