The most westerly district in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania state is the very flat region of the former Ludwigslust District (nowadays part of the Ludwigslust-Parchim District). It borders onto both Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein on one side and the state capital of Schwerin on the other.

This area is also crossed by the massive Elbe on its way from the mountains of the Czech Republic to the North Sea.
Famous as a ducal residence, this region has many links to its namesake Prince Ludwig. He built himself a hunting lodge in the area and kept land free for his pleasures. Now, there is the late Baroque Ludwigslust Schloss on an ornate lake in Ludwigslust — sitting in 120 hectares of gardens and woodlands.
Other towns in the Ludwigslust District show signs of its communist past. Boizenburg has a whole host of such architecture and relics from this era, including large paintings and mosaics on external walls of important buildings.
The area is also famous for horse breeding, and horses can be found on the coat of arms of many towns and villages around here.
