Nestled in the idyllic landscape of the Mecklenburg Lake District lies Neustrelitz. The former residence city of the Dukes of Mecklenburg-Strelitz is the focus of this unique picture book. Through more than 200 mostly unpublished historical photographs, the interesting and eventful history of the cultural center of the lake district is presented. However, it is not only architectural treasures such as the castle church or theater that delight the viewer. The life and daily routines of the people in the district town are also impressively documented. The authors, Harald and Christiane Witzke, are profound experts on the city's history. With their picture book, they invite both the residents of Neustrelitz and their guests to take a stroll through the city to rediscover what has been forgotten.
