history

Hornstorf (then as Hornestorp) was first mentioned in a document in 1282.

With the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, Rüggow became Swedish with the office of Neukloster , the rule of Wismar and the Mecklenburg part of the island of Poel . It was not until 1903, 100 years after the Malmö pledge agreement of 1803 , that Sweden renounced the redemption of this agreement, and the town fell back to Mecklenburg.

In 1883 the community got a rail connection with the Wismar – Rostock line. Four years later, a branch line followed to Karow via Neukloster and Goldberg , which has since been closed.

The typical farms on the Schwedenschanze came into being during the settlement period in the 1930s.

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

The NVA's radio reconnaissance center (FuAZ Nord) was stationed in Rüggow until the fall of the Berlin Wall .
