📍 C rime scene Schwerin - environmental scandal at the Paffenteich pond

A purple oil slick in the Pfaffenteich pond throws Schwerin into turmoil. The fire department arrives, barriers are set up - it quickly becomes clear: this was no accident. Who was behind it? Now it's up to you.

Get ready for an investigative mission that will take you right across Schwerin - right into historic districts, hidden alleyways and surprising perspectives. Your search for clues starts on the northern shore of the Pfaffenteich. The man-made lake is now a popular meeting place and recreational area, but looks back on a long city history. The first mysteries are already waiting to be solved between historic facades and lakeside paths.

From here, the crime trail takes you through Schwerin's old town. In winding alleyways, past half-timbered houses and small cafés, you will discover places that you may already know - but this time with a detective's eye. Münzgasse in particular, once the site of Schwerin's mint, becomes the focus of your investigations. You should also take a close look at the Schlachtermarkt: The artistically designed fountain could reveal more than it initially seems.

The scene in front of the Schwerin State Theater is particularly impressive. If you take a look over your shoulder here, Schwerin Castle rises majestically on its island - a backdrop that lends your investigation a very special atmosphere. The expansive castle park invites you to take a short break or recharge your batteries before continuing on.

The trail then takes you through Schelfstadt, one of Schwerin's oldest districts. Around the Schelfkirche church, you will discover less obvious details and places off the beaten track. This is where the original charm of the city is revealed - and perhaps also the decisive clue that will bring you closer to solving the case.
