Fachwerkhaus Buschstraße
Fachwerkhaus Buschstraße rises two storeys in Schwerin’s Altstadt, where its half-timbered frontage faces 3. Enge Straße. Built in 1698, it belongs among the city’s oldest surviving buildings. Its picturesque upper overhang gives the narrow setting a distinctive shape.
The building first held a shoemaker’s shop, then accommodated the F.G. Michaelis wine wholesale business. The street was called Faule Grube until 1875, then Wladimirstraße through the 1930s. A wooden Swedish head decorates the gable, brought from Wismar during Swedish rule.
Carl-Heinz Zettler acquired the small house in the 1960s, when his workshop occupied the building. His Kunstdrechslerei Zettler made woodturning central to its later story. Today, Silke-Maria Zettler continues the family craft as a master woodturner, representing its fifth generation since 1857. The gable’s wooden Swedish head connects Schwerin with Wismar’s Swedish past.
