history

The St. Pauli Church Bobbin

There was a temple near Bobbin in Slavic times. It is to be assumed that it was protected by a small wooden castle complex. This complex was probably abandoned and destroyed around 1168 during the campaign of the Danes under Waldemar I against the Ranen .

The place Bobbin was first mentioned in 1250. The area was then part of the Principality of Rügen until 1326 and then of the Duchy of Pomerania . With the Peace of Westphalia of 1648, Rügen and thus also the area of ​​Bobbin became part of Swedish Pomerania . In 1815 Bobbin came to the Prussian province of Pomerania as part of New Western Pomerania .

After the reunification, the small town center was thoroughly redeveloped from 1992 with the help of urban development funding.

Since 1818 Bobbin has belonged to the district of Rügen . Only in the years from 1952 to 1955 was it part of the Bergen district. The place then belonged to the Rügen district in the Rostock district until 1990 and became part of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in the same year. The district of Rügen, which has been called this again since 1990, was merged in 2011 in the district of Vorpommern-Rügen.
