• The communities Groß Polzin, Klein Bünzow, Murchin, Rubkow, Schmatzin and Ziethen belonged to the former Amt Ziethen. In 2005, the Lassan community moved to the Am Peenestrom office .

politics

Coat of arms, flag, official seal

The office does not have an officially approved national emblem, neither a coat of arms nor a flag . The official seal is the small state seal with the coat of arms of the region of Western Pomerania . It shows an upright griffin with a raised tail and the inscription "AMT ZÜSSOW * LANDKREIS VORPOMMERN-GREIFSWALD".

Economy and Infrastructure

Companies

Economically, agriculture and forestry are predominant. The Diakonie Züssow with the homes in Züssow and Gützkow and the Karlsburg Clinic are worth mentioning as larger employers. There are numerous commercial and service companies in all municipalities. In Gützkow there are two industrial areas with motorway connections. Tourism still plays a subordinate role with restaurants and hotels. There is almost no industrial settlement.

traffic

The federal motorway 20 runs through the west of the Züssow office . The federal road 109 (from Greifswald to Anklam ) and the federal road 111 from ( Gützkow to Wolgast ) as well as the L 35 (former B 96) run through the office.

In 1863 Züssow was connected to the Angermünde – Stralsund railway line . Here the Züssow – Wolgast Hafen railway branches off to Wolgast and has connections through the Usedomer Bäderbahn to Świnoujście (Swinemünde) and Peenemünde on the island of Usedom . Thus, Züssow gained more and more importance as a transfer station in the emerging spa tourism.

Since 1897, the entire administrative area also had a small railway connection of the Greifswald-Jarmen-Kleinbahn (GJK) . A special feature in Züssow was an access ramp where locomotives and wagons of the small railroad could be "piggybacked" onto platform wagons of the state railway. The line was shut down in 1945 and the tracks were dismantled as reparations .

In 1855 today's B 111 was built from Moeckow-Berg to Gützkow-Chausseehaus. The connections from Moeckow-Berg to Wolgast, as well as today's B 109 and the art road (later B 96) from Greifswald to Jarmen had already been built around 1850.

The Federal Highway 20 is on the junction Gützkow reach.

In contrast to the neighboring offices, the modern cycle path network is rudimentary; there has only been one cycle path from Züssow to Moeckow-Berg since 2015.
