Context
ADR-001 (#461), SH (#467) as template. Research folded into authoring. This issue applies the pattern to Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
Bundesland: Mecklenburg-Vorpommern
- ISO 3166-2: DE-MV
- Capital: Schwerin
- Population: ~1.6M (sparsely populated -- the least densely populated Bundesland)
- Distinctive elements: Two formerly separate territories: Mecklenburg (the dynastic land of the Mecklenburg dukes, Catholic-Protestant border) and Vorpommern (the formerly Swedish then Prussian land, with the smaller Bundesland integration since 1990). The Plattdeutsch / Mecklenburger Platt tradition is unusually strong here. Coast on the Baltic with the Schimmelreiter coast types, Rügen (Germany's largest island), Usedom. Strong post-1990 deindustrialisation, the most challenged of the new Bundesländer demographically. Schloss Schwerin as a real architectural icon. The Müritz / Mecklenburger Seenplatte (Germany's largest lake district). Strong AfD-presence in Vorpommern. Angela Merkel (Templin / Uckermark border, but politically MV through Stralsund-Bundestagsmandat 1990-2021).
Languages / dialects
- Mecklenburger Platt -- strongly preserved compared to other Plattdeutsch-Regionen, with Mecklenburger Plattdeutscher Verein and active media presence
- Hochdeutsch (standard)

Notes for the agent
- MV is structurally the post-DDR Bundesland with the most stark demographic decline -- young people leaving, AfD strong in non-coastal areas, summer tourism creating boom-and-bust seasonality. Position must name this honestly.
- Plattdeutsch is more living here than in most other Plattdeutsch-Regionen -- Mecklenburger Platt has its own Theater-Tradition (Fritz Reuter Theater Schwerin).
- Hansestädte Rostock + Stralsund + Wismar are UNESCO; the Hanseatic Erbe is shared with Lübeck/Hamburg/Bremen but with Vorpommern-eastern flavour.
- The 1945-1990 SBZ/DDR-Bezirks-Strukturierung dismantled both Mecklenburg and Vorpommern as Länder; the 1990 re-creation is recent and the federal-state identity is younger than the cultural identity.
- Caspar David Friedrich's Kreidefelsen auf Rügen as cultural-touristic icon connects Romantic art to contemporary identity.
