history

Blowatz first appeared in a document in 1296. In the 8th and 9th centuries, the area was settled by Slavic Obotrites , whose center was the old sea trading center Reric , where Franks, Frisians, Saxons and Scandinavians also lived. More recent excavations have located the early trading town of Reric west of the Groß Strömkendorf district , known as Stromikendorp in the 17th century , in the northeastern area of ​​the Wismar Bay .

By removing a tank barrier against the advancing Red Army at the beginning of May 1945, Hermann Wulff and Georg Scharfs, with the support of liberated prisoners of war, prevented the military from taking the place and thus preventing victims from among the population.

On July 1, 1950, the previously independent municipality of Wodorf was incorporated.
