Schwerin is much more than just a tourist destination to visit the famous palace. Investors are already convinced by the State Capital – as is witnessed by the latest establishment of major, internationally operating companies. This development is also due to the fact the city is an attractive place to live and work.
"Often with lake view." These words describe in a nutshell the key feature of the properties offered by Schwerin. The many large and small lakes make up about a third of the entire area of the city.
Thousands of apartments and single-family homes have been built since 1990. Property offers in the city centre and by the water are much in demand. And this demand is constantly rising. This is why the State Capital Schwerin will be earmarking further projects for the housing market in the coming years.
But it is not only the housing market that has made Schwerin a well-balanced place to live in. On the contrary, this is due to the complete package offered by its position, infrastructure and proximity to nature.
Employees represent a priceless potential for every company. For this reason, our business promotion supports the companies in making the location of Schwerin more attractive and keeping young people in the region. The number of employees subject to compulsory social insurance continues to grow.
There are currently some 34,000 employees paying social insurance in Schwerin, of which over 5,300 in the manufacturing sector. There about 1,000 artisan enterprises in the city. Some 1,000 men and women work in the Schwerin Industrial Park alone.
