history

Church in Lancken-Granitz

Lancken-Granitz was first mentioned in a document around 1250. The church was built in the 15th century.

The fact that the area around Lancken-Granitz was already settled in the Neolithic is proven by the four remaining large stone graves near Lancken-Granitz , which are just under a kilometer southwest of the village.

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 area of Lancken-Granitz became part of Swedish Pomerania . In 1815 Lancken-Granitz came to the Prussian province of Pomerania as part of New Western Pomerania .

Since 1818 Lancken-Granitz (until July 11, 1950 only referred to as Lancken ) belonged to the district of Rügen . It was only part of the Putbus district from 1952 to 1955 . 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 has been called this again since 1990, was merged in 2011 in the district of Vorpommern-Rügen.

On July 1, 1950, the previously independent community of Groß Stresow was incorporated.
