Opened on 1 December 1908, the electrically powered network is currently operated by Nahverkehr Schwerin GmbH [de], and has four lines.

The current fleet consists of 30 Flexity Classic SN2001 low-floor trams, manufactured from 2001 to 2003 by Bombardier Transportation in Bautzen.

The three-section trams are 30 m long with space for 199 passengers, including 84 seated.

Beginning in 2019 the trams were modernised with new electronics from Kiepe Electric and air conditioning.
