Rabbitwerder: City gives update on the dispute over the restaurant!
Rabbitwerder, a picturesque inland lake island in Schwerin's inner lake, is the focus of the city administration's current work. According to a report by Schwerin.news An update on the dining facilities on the island has now been published. The ongoing legal proceedings are particularly exciting: the previous tenant has sued against the termination, which was given for March 31, 2025. This means that the future of the popular excursion destination remains uncertain for the time being.
In April 2025, the tenant filed an eviction lawsuit with the Schwerin Regional Court. The situation has yet to be clarified as a conciliation hearing has only been scheduled for January 8, 2026. Until then, the planned tender process for new leasing, which was launched in spring 2025, will be suspended. Five applications have already been pre-selected, but the process remains suspended due to the ongoing legal dispute.
Renovation measures on the island
The structural structure of the inn on Rabbit Werder is cause for concern. Parts of the building are in a questionable condition; The veranda is in danger of collapsing and has been closed. Comprehensive renovation work on the veranda and roof of the hall building is planned for 2026. The lower monument protection authority is involved in all renovation work in order not to affect the historical value of the island. The specially protected landscape around Rabbitwerder, which has been designated as a nature and landscape protection area since 1923, will therefore continue to play a central role.
In addition, there are several important steps in the city administration's schedule: In addition to the quality negotiation in January and the upcoming renovations, continuous support of the port facility by a new operator is also firmly planned. This is to ensure that Rabbit Werder remains a popular destination for both tourists and locals.
The island in historical context
Rabbitwerder has a rich history that dates back to the 14th century. It was first mentioned in a document in 1407 and the island has changed significantly since then. A look at the historical background shows that Rabbitwerder played an important role during the Seven Years' War and also after the Second World War. The island was once home to a brickworks and an inn and was regularly visited by tourists who enjoyed the views and tranquil nature. Today the island lives on primarily through the operation of the “White Fleet”, which visits it in the summer months and offers visitors the opportunity to discover the untouched nature.
There are further plans for the future that concern the development of the catering business and the infrastructure. But as long as the legal proceedings against the tenant continue, some lease and operational issues remain blocked. This area of tension will show how the situation will further develop for Rabbitwerder.
We are excited to see what news the coming months will bring and hope that this charming place remains a popular destination for visitors in the future.
