history

Entrance to the east of Glowe, 1759

Glowe was first mentioned in a document around 1314. The name Glowe comes from the Slavic Gluowa or Glova and means something like head, named after the 9 m high king's horn , a small cape. The community then came into being around or on the Königshörn. The area was part of the Principality of Rügen until 1325 and then the Duchy of Pomerania . With the Peace of Westphalia of 1648, Rügen and thus also the area of ​​Glowe became part of Swedish Pomerania .

To the east of the place ran the Swedish bar field work and the 2nd field work line Glowe. Several wars, from the thirty to the Nordic and the Napoleonic invasion, as well as several disputes between Brandenburg / Prussia and Sweden (1675–1679, 1759 etc.) have shaped the defense landscape of Rügen. Since they were only built as ramparts, reinforced with fascines , they slowly fell into disrepair due to erosion and overbuilding and are no longer readily visible today. The lines were reinforced by small individual hills. The Swedes used the undulating terrain at the narrow point between the Baltic Sea and Lake Spycker.

In 1815, Rügen came to the Prussian province of Pomerania as part of New Western Pomerania . Since 1818 the area belonged to the district of Rügen .

The former fishing village then grew more and more into the neighboring Schaabewald at the beginning of the spa tourism at the beginning of the 20th century .

From 1939 Glowe belonged to the municipality of Bobbin (Rügen), but got its independence back after the Second World War.

From 1952 to 1955 it belonged to the Bergen district . The community 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 was again designated as this from 1990, was merged in 2011 in the district of Vorpommern-Rügen.

In GDR times, the main station and administration of Rügen radio , the radio transmission system for the DSR merchant fleet and the fishing fleet was located in Glowe . Camping Glowe existed from 1965 to 1993. The nationally owned combine Buna built and maintained a children's holiday camp for the children of its employees. Another children's holiday camp existed on the eastern outskirts as that of the FDGB - the individual union for teaching and education - today one of the preferred single-family home locations in the village. Finally, a third large holiday camp was run by the BMK Coal and Energy . This was located in the center of the village. It was demolished in the mid-1990s and the area was later built on with homes and a net supermarket. The new center of Glowe is to be built here. Glowe is a state-approved resort .
