history
Ribnitz (1233-1950)
The result is Ribnitz from the village Rybanis ( Ryba means "fish"), which in the marshy Recknitzniederung was. The transition over the Recknitz is also called the Mecklenburg Pass . On the Ribnitz side, the pass farm is located directly on the river .
To protect the important river crossing over the Recknitz, the Mecklenburg princes had a castle built near the river around 1200, which later became the nucleus of the Ribnitz town center. Until the 14th century, the place belonged to the rulership of Rostock , then to the principality, and later to the (Grand) Duchy of Mecklenburg.
Ribnitz is first mentioned in a document from 1233. In 1323 the Ribnitz Poor Clare Monastery was founded by Prince Heinrich II of Mecklenburg . Until the end of the Thirty Years War in 1648, the Recknitz between Ribnitz and Damgarten formed the border between the Duchy of Mecklenburg and the Duchy of Pomerania , then until 1815 between Mecklenburg and Swedish Pomerania .
Another economic upswing in the city of Ribnitz began in 1934 with the construction of production facilities that were important for the war effort, such as Walther-Bachmann-Flugzeugbau KG.
Damgarten (1258–1950)
The town of Damgarten arose from a border castle and the neighboring village of "Damgor" ("Dam" means "oak"), which lay east of the swampy Recknitz lowland. Prince Jaromar II of Rügen is considered to be the founder of Damgarten . The transition over the Recknitz to Ribnitz in Mecklenburg was also called the Mecklenburg Pass . Damgarten received the Luebian law in 1258 from Rügen prince Jaromar II.
Until the end of the Thirty Years' War in 1648, the Recknitz between Ribnitz and Damgarten formed the border between the Duchy of Pomerania and the Duchy of Mecklenburg . Thereafter until 1815 between Swedish Pomerania and Mecklenburg. In 1809, when the irregulars under Major Ferdinand von Schill passed through, there were occasional skirmishes with the Mecklenburg regiments loyal to Napoleon. After 1815, Swedish Pomerania and Damgarten fell to the Kingdom of Prussia and then belonged to the province of Pomerania .
Damgarten has had a rail connection on the Stralsund – Rostock railway line since 1888 . In 1934 an air base near Pütnitz was built near Damgarten . The airfield Pütnitz was after the Second World War, one of the most important locations in the GDR stationed Soviet air forces . Until 1991 the 16th fighter division of the group of the Soviet armed forces in Germany was stationed in Damgarten.
Ribnitz-Damgarten (1950–1990)
The twin town Ribnitz-Damgarten was created on July 1, 1950 by merging the two towns Ribnitz (in Mecklenburg ) and Damgarten (in Pomerania ). Both city councils had spoken out against the merger of the cities. The Borg parish joined them on the same day. The rulers at the time wanted to erase any memory of Pomerania and the associated historical Mecklenburg-Pomerania border. Officially, the need for a larger district town for the Ribnitz-Damgarten district formed in 1952 in the GDR district of Rostock was put forward.
The Recknitz forms the natural border between Mecklenburg and Pomerania . The two districts of Ribnitz and Damgarten are separated by the wide swampy river valley. The transition over the Recknitz is also called the Mecklenburg Pass . On the Mecklenburg side, the pass farm is located directly on the river .
Ribnitz-Damgarten (since 1990)
From 1990 to 1994 Ribnitz-Damgarten still belonged to the district of the same name, now in the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . In 1994 the city was incorporated into the North Western Pomerania district. Since the district reform in 2011 , it has been in the Vorpommern-Rügen district .
After the political change, the historic town centers of Ribnitz with the monastery and of Damgarten were fundamentally renovated as part of urban development funding.

Economy and Infrastructure
tourism
Since April 28, 2009, the city has been officially called "Amber City", primarily because of the former VEB Ostseeschmuck located in the Ribnitz district , the German Amber Museum and the amber foam factory in the Damgarten district. In addition to numerous shops that offer amber products, the nickname "amber city" can also be seen as a regional reference to the Baltic Sea, which is about 10 km away . The city is also known as the “gateway to Fischland”, as it is the last middle center on the way to the Fischland-Darß-Zingst peninsula in the Baltic Sea . Until 1948 there was the patented " Fischland-Schmuck " in Ribnitz . It is silver work decorated with marine motifs (fish, starfish, etc.), into which selected, polished amber is inserted. The company was nationalized in 1948, but production and trademark rights were resumed in Lübeck , later Travemünde . Since then, the jewelry from the Baltic Sea coast has been called Baltic Sea jewelry.
Ribnitz-Damgarten has held the title of “state-approved resort” since 2013.
