The region of West Mecklenburg consists of the districts of Nordwestmecklenburg and Ludwigslust-Parchim as well as the independent city of Schwerin and is legally defined as a planning region, i. e. a sub-region for regional spatial planning that is carried out by a regional planning association. The region had a population of 483,939 on 30 June 2008. The centre for the region is the state capital of Schwerin; other important towns are Parchim, Ludwigslust, Wismar, Gadebusch, Klütz, Grevesmühlen and Hagenow. West Mecklenburg is an undulating morainic terrain in the Baltic Uplands interspersed with inland lakes and formed by the Weichsel glaciation. On the Baltic Sea rim is a cliffed coast with the Bay of Lübeck and Bay of Wismar with the island of Poel and the seaside resort of Boltenhagen. In the northeast West Mecklenburg gives way to the region of Middle Mecklenburg; in the southeast it merges gradually into the Mecklenburg Lake District. (en)
