history

Dreschvitz: The first documentary mention was found in 1314 on an entry in an old deed of ownership. Originally as a street village with four large estates, Dreschvitz was only three kilometers away from the old so-called Salt Road.

The place was part of the Principality of Rügen until 1326 and then the Duchy of Pomerania .
With the Peace of Westphalia of 1648, Rügen and thus also the place Dreschvitz came under Swedish rule, after the place previously belonged to the Duchy of Pomerania . In 1815 the municipality and Western Pomerania became part of the Prussian province of Pomerania .

Since 1818 Dreschvitz has belonged to the district of Rügen . From 1952 to 1955 it was part of the Putbus district. The community then belonged to the Rügen district in the Rostock district until 1990, to the Rügen district since 1990 and to the Vorpommern-Rügen district since 2011.
