Overview
The Duchy of Mecklenburg was a monarchy in North Germany and a duchy within the Holy Roman Empire. It was founded in 1471 when Duke Henry IV united the duchies of Mecklenburg-Stargard and Mecklenburg-Schwerin. With Schwerin as its capital, the state existed from 1471 to 1520, when it was partitioned into Mecklenburg-Güstrow and Mecklenburg-Schwerin. It was reestablished in 1695 with the unification of Mecklenburg-Güstrow and Mecklenburg-Schwerin, with Frederick William becoming duke. The duchy was finally dissolved in 1701, partitioned into Mecklenburg-Schwerin and Mecklenburg-Strelitz.
