 Schwerin History - Schwerin Travel Guide - Lonely Planet
The lake-filled, north-central region of Germany was settled by Slavic tribes known as the Obotrites as early as the 6th century, and a Slavic fortress called 'Zuarin' (Animal Pasture) - from which Schwerin took its name - was first recorded around the 11th century.
In 1160, Henry the Lion - Duke of Saxony and Bavaria - defeated the Obotrites and founded the town of Schwerin, building an early castle and damming the pond known as Pfaffenteich.
As the town grew in importance it was incorporated into the Duchy of Mecklenburg in the 14th century and quickly became the seat of the dukedom.
