Historical villa in Schwerin: Refurbishment and new construction start!

The vacancy soon belongs to the past: A historic building is extensively renovated at Alexandrinenstraße 33 in Schwerin. The remarkable building, which has been empty since the early 1990s, is given a new shine and should be completed according to nordkurier.de . The villa, which was built in the historicist style in 1860, was once a kindergarten on the ground floor. After more than 20 years of dispute between the former owner and the city, the renovation in cooperation with monument preservation is finally granted.

Overall, around seven million euros will be invested in the project, which also includes a new building with 19 other apartments at the Alexandrinenstrasse/Bürgermaster-Bade-Platz. The five new apartments in the renovated villa offer space for different needs - everything is included from two to four rooms. The associated new building, the topping -out ceremony of which was recently celebrated, will contain apartments with three rooms. The marketing of these new properties starts in four weeks.

Living with tradition and modernity

A main goal of the city is to preserve the historical cityscape and at the same time integrate modern living concepts. This is supported by the building and monument conservation that combines traditional and modern demands. According to Schwerin.de , this procedure is accompanied by measures such as monument areas and conservation statutes that ensure the long-term quality of the city structure.

The energy efficiency and accessibility of the new construction projects, which have become increasingly important due to the recently amended state building regulations, is particularly important here. In this way, the city of Schwerin will continue to be a place in which both historical and modern habitats are in line.

monument preservation in Germany

The preservation of historical buildings is a topic that is also important beyond Schwerin. Every year, the German Foundation for Monument Protection supports up to 600 renovation projects across Germany with a funding volume of around 20 million euros. In addition to residential buildings, these projects also include churches and castles. According to Denkmalschutz.de , 7,500 monuments have already been promoted, whereby a voluntary commission accompanied the selection process.

Living and living in a historical environment - this will soon become a reality in Alexandrinenstrasse in Schwerin. Even if the path to the renovation was peppered with challenges, the current project shows how tradition and modern construction in a city can work harmoniously. It remains to be hoped that the completion in November will give the residents a new, lively home in a historic ambience.
