The place was first mentioned in 1248 and belonged to the estates of the monastery Eldena , with her confirmed Duke Wartislaw III. the monastery owned the Ladebow manor. The place name, then Lathebo , around 1634 Ladeboode , goes back to Danish monks. These came from the area of Esrom Monastery , the mother monastery of Eldena (originally founded in Dargun), where there were corresponding place names. The later change of the final syllable to -ow , as it often occurs in place names of Slavic origin, is based on an etymological error. The name is made up of the Danish lade = barn and bo = house. The name Ladebow first appeared in 1692. Archaeologically proven, however, is the proximity of a late Slavic settlement southwest of the place.

Originally the place consisted of only one courtyard - "grangia" - of the monastery, as the papal deed from 1250 shows. It was not until 1406, with the approval of Duke Wartislaw VIII, that the monastery courtyard became an estate village.

After it had belonged to the Amt Eldena since the secularization of the monastery in the 16th century, it came into the possession of the University of Greifswald through the donation of the Pomeranian Duke in 1634 .

Except in the early days by the monks, agriculture in Ladebow was run by tenants. With the construction of the Ladebow airfield settlement in 1935, only two buildings remained of the once stately estate - a farm workers' house and the estate manager's house.

In 1927 the Heinkel-Werke planned to relocate the aircraft industry in Ladebow. The condition for this was that Greifswald incorporated Ladebow. At the same time, the construction of an airfield began, which was officially used as a sports airfield from 1928.

The city of Greifswald acquired the airfield site in 1934 by swapping land. In the same year, she left the airfield to a front company of the Reichswehr , the Deutsche Luft- und Handels-Aktiengesellschaft , for use. With the expansion to the military airfield, a concrete road and a railway connection were built. In the neighboring fishing village of Wieck, the tower of the Bugenhagenkirche was shortened so as not to obstruct air traffic. Residential houses were built for the military. After the construction of the airfield, Ladebow was incorporated into Greifswald in 1939.

After the Second World War , the Soviet Army blew up the entire airfield after dismantling the equipment. After the founding of the GDR on October 7, 1949, a concrete plant was built on this site in the 1950s, in which, among other things, concrete parts were manufactured for the Greifswald-Ostseeviertel residential area . It was not until 1952 that street names were introduced in Ladebow by the Greifswald citizenship; Until then, the buildings only had so-called accommodation numbers (U numbers). Allotment gardens were later created on parts of the airfield , which still dominate the area in the north, east and west. The allotment gardeners who acquired, cultivated and used their parcels on a lease basis were organized in the mass organization of the VKSK , Greifswald district association , during the GDR era . Since the German reunification (1990) the garden friends in Greifswald-Ladebow have been affiliated to the umbrella organization Bundesverband Deutscher Gartenfreunde eV (BDG), state association Mecklenburg and Western Pomerania eV .

In the mid-1960s, the Volksmarine (VM), as part of the NVA's armed forces, built a base with a port in the district, for which sand was washed up on the Danish Wiek. Overall, there were about DDR -times in Ladebow three departments of the People's Navy: 1. The fuel and lubricant storage (TSL-18), also called "oil port", the mostly VM support ships, so tankers anliefen, as the largest object on the west bank of the Danish Wiek . In addition to members of the military, numerous civilian employees were active there, long-time commanding the unit: Frigate Captain Walter Schmidt, Chief of Staff: Corvette Captain Horst Kraft; 2. The repair base (I base) of the central vehicle workshop, commander: Corvette captain Siegfried Helfsgott; 3. The central warehouse for the mobilization reserve, Commander: Corvette Captain Heinz Kehnappel. All three objects were given up by the Bundeswehr in the course of German reunification in 1990 . Until 1990, the Greifswald city harbor, an important transshipment point for building materials and fuels, was located on Salinenstrasse in Greifswald. After the political change , the previous military port was expanded into a civil sea port.

Since the late 1990s, two new housing estates have been built; the population increased. Likewise, the listed residential buildings of the airfield settlement were renovated under monument conservation aspects.

The unused and partially washed-out tracks of the port railway from Greifswald to Ladebow were reconstructed by 2014 and put into operation in January 2014. Greifswald hopes that this will revive the port economy. In addition, the "Hafenbahn" has been running special trips to the Ladebow harbor from Greifswald station to the fishing festival in Greifswald-Wieck , the largest maritime festival in Western Pomerania , which takes place every July .
