The district of Vorpommern-Greifswald is a district in the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . It is located almost exclusively in the central and southern part of Western Pomerania , but also includes a small Mecklenburg area on Lake Galenbeck and the Uckermark town of Strasburg to the south of it .
The district town is the university and Hanseatic city of Greifswald . In the cuirassier town of Pasewalk and in Anklam there are branch offices of the district administration. In addition to these two cities, Wolgast and Ueckermünde are also medium-sized centers . The district is a member of the transnational federation of the Euroregion Pomerania .
geography
location
The district of Vorpommern-Greifswald borders in the north-west on the district of Vorpommern-Rügen and from west to southwest on the district of Mecklenburg Lake District . In the east it borders on Poland and in the south on Brandenburg . In addition to the district town of Greifswald, the largest towns are the middle-class centers Pasewalk , Anklam , Wolgast , Ueckermünde and Torgelow . Vorpommern-Greifswald is the third largest district in Germany in terms of area .
Landscaping
The district is characterized by its coastal location between Greifswalder Bodden and Stettiner Haff .
In the north of the district there are many coastal areas with the Bodden waters (Greifswalder Bodden, Peenestrom, Krumminer Wiek, Achterwasser, Stettiner Haff), which are primarily characterized by reed belts. On the Baltic coast of the island of Usedom , the coastal strip is shaped as a long sandy beach. The water areas of the many small Bodden and Wieke run through large areas of the landscape in the hinterland to the Baltic Sea. The mainland between Anklam and Greifswald is very much characterized by agriculture. Wide fields and only smaller elevations criss-cross the landscape, which is determined by moraines and moors (Peenetalmoor, Ziesebruch, Thurbruch). The island of Usedom is the second largest island in Germany after Rügen. The island is also designated as a nature park.
The south of the district is mainly characterized by a high level of forest, which is also due to the poor soil properties. The alleys so typical of the landscape stretch along the lagoon coast and in many other parts of the region. As a result of the decades of use of large parts of the Ueckermünder Heide as a military training area for the NVA and later also for the Bundeswehr, valuable dwarf shrub heaths and grasslands have developed in these areas . In the peripheral areas, nature reserves and retreat areas are z. B. originated for sea eagles.
The Friedland Great Meadow lies between the Ueckermünder Heide and the Brohmer Mountains . It was once the largest limestone moor in northern Germany. As a result of extensive amelioration in the 1960s, however, little is left of the former flora and fauna. The meadow areas are of particular importance today as resting and feeding grounds for almost 100 breeding and 80 guest bird species.
The Brohmer Mountains are characterized by extensive red beech and mixed forests. Many forest caves and bogs are embedded in the valleys and depressions of the hilly terminal moraine. They provide the habitat for black storks, lesser spotted eagles, cranes and also red deer.
On the edge of the Brohmer Mountains is the Galenbeck lake with retreats for animal and plant species endangered in Central Europe. In the southernmost part of the district, on the border with the Uckermark, a large number of lakes, sills and moors are embedded in the soft, loamy ground moraine plates. Due to the good soils, agriculture is primarily practiced in these areas and the proportion of forest is very low here. Along the Randow Valley you can find steppe flora that is unique in Germany and is mainly characterized by dry continental grass. The natural area has been protected by the Am Stettiner Haff Nature Park since 2005 .
The most important rivers are the Peene , the Uecker, the Randow and the Ryck , of which only the Peene is completely navigable, the Uecker and Ryck only in their mouths. Ground moraines with various deposits from later stages of the Ice Age as well as moors ( Peenetalmoor , Friedländer Große Wiese, Ziesebruch , Thurbruch ) and Randowbruch characterize the surface of the circle.
Protected areas
There are 48 designated nature reserves in the district (as of February 2017).
Metropolitan area of Szczecin
The district has been actively developed since 2012 through cooperation within the metropolitan area of the metropolis of Szczecin as part of a European metropolitan region, the joint development concept was presented in June 2015.
cities and communes
The largest city in the district is the district town of Greifswald , which together with the nearby Stralsund functions as the regional center . The next largest cities are Anklam , Wolgast , Pasewalk and Ueckermünde , which in turn are medium-sized centers .
In the Regional Spatial Development Program Vorpommern (RREP) of 2010, the following basic centers in the district are also defined: Ducherow , Eggesin , Ferdinandshof , Gützkow , Heringsdorf , Löcknitz , Lubmin , Strasburg (Uckermark) , Torgelow and Zinnowitz . The integrated region with Poland also benefits from the city offers of Szczecin , which forms a cross-border conurbation .

history
Today's district of Vorpommern-Greifswald comprises the southern part of Western Pomerania , the part of the former Prussian province of Pomerania that remained with Germany after the Second World War, as well as small parts of the Uckermark and Mecklenburg .
prehistory
The first people came to the region after the Vistula Ice Age . In the valley of the Randow near Wollschow , in the Schwingetal southwest of Greifswald and in many other places in the district, a number of large stone graves and stone boxes testify that members of the Neolithic funnel cup culture , around 4000 BC. BC, populated the space. For example, the so-called "whale grave" (Wollschow 34) is a stone box that was excavated in 1929. It owes its name to the shape of the capstone. In the chamber measuring only 0.8 × 0.5 m, three child skeletons were found in a crouched position (legs drawn up) and a ceramic bowl .
Shell stones , barrows and many uncovered settlements in the region, which were found especially during the construction of the A 20 and the gas pipelines from Lubmin, are monuments from the Bronze Age (Germanic peoples).
Early Middle Ages
With the migration of peoples around 400 to 600, the Germanic tribes moved from the area towards the south and west.
From the 6th to the 7th centuries, Western Slavs moved to the partly deserted region. The individual tribes, such as the Ukrer / Ukranen , Redarians and Zirzipans belonged to the turns that can be assigned to the League of Liutizen . Many castle walls, settlements and grave fields bear witness to the Wende to this day.
With the destruction of Rethra and the Jaromarsburg on Arkona in 1168, the downfall of the Slavs was driven forward. The Slavs were Christianized and monks settled in the region.
12th to 19th centuries
In the 12th century, German settlers from Holstein, Lower Saxony and Westphalia came to the region and brought modern farming methods with them. In the period that followed, handicrafts and fishing developed alongside the main source of income from agriculture. The goods obtained were also sold through the Hanseatic League. The most important trade routes of the time were the sea routes across the Baltic Sea as well as river and road connections to the hinterland. In the south, coal piles and brickworks developed to use local clay deposits. In addition, lawn iron ore from the region and pig iron from Sweden were processed in the ironworks.
During the Thirty Years War, the area was almost completely depopulated. Only with the Peace of Westphalia, with which the area fell to Sweden, was the area slowly repopulated. In 1720, with the Treaty of Stockholm , the area south of the Peene , including the island of Usedom, fell to Brandenburg-Prussia . During this time, agriculture continued to be cultivated. Craft businesses such as sawmills, charcoal burners, ironworks and shipyards emerged here, and regular forestry was introduced.
After the Seven Years' War (1756–1763), agriculture was further cultivated, dairies were established and livestock were increased, and crop rotation was introduced. The population doubled in less than 100 years. Due to the brisk factory activity of brickworks, iron foundries and cutting mills, more and more people found their main occupation in industry. Agriculture was only a sideline.
After 1945
After 1945 collectivization was promoted in connection with the industrialization of agriculture. Fishing was also industrialized and fish processing plants were created. The southern region was shaped by the stationing of NVA troops and the establishment of military training areas . The northern part of the country was predominantly agricultural. Large companies for food production were established here.
In 1945, at the instigation of the Soviet occupying power, the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania was founded, which was renamed "Mecklenburg" in 1947. The middle level of state administration in the GDR was reorganized in 1952. In place of countries were GDR districts . The area of the "State of Mecklenburg" was divided into the districts of Rostock , Schwerin and Neubrandenburg . The southernmost tip of Western Pomerania from today's state border of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania from Grünz in the west to the state border between the GDR and the Republic of Poland in the east was assigned to the Frankfurt (Oder) district ; after 1990 it remained as the Gartz (Oder) office in the state of Brandenburg .
In the respective districts of Rostock and Neubrandenburg, the GDR districts of Greifswald , Anklam , Wolgast , Strasburg (partially), Pasewalk and Ueckermünde and, from 1974, the urban district of Greifswald were formed at the same time in the area of today's district of Vorpommern-Greifswald .
Post-turnaround time
After reunification, the region was reorganized, not least in terms of agriculture.
Today the region is characterized by a very low density of settlements and a diverse natural area.
District reforms
During the district reform in 1994, the GDR districts became the Ostvorpommern district , the Uecker-Randow district and the independent Hanseatic city of Greifswald . Two offices in today's Vorpommern-Greifswald district were also in the Demmin district from 1994 to 2011 .
The district of Vorpommern-Greifswald ( planning name: district of Südvorpommern ) was formed in the course of the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania district reform on September 4, 2011 from the city of Greifswald , the districts of Ostvorpommern , Uecker-Randow and parts of the Demmin district (offices of Jarmen-Tutow , Peenetal / Loitz ).
The centrally located Anklam was also initially considered as a district town . In the end, however, the state parliament decided in favor of the most populous city of Greifswald .
In the state, district and district elections on September 4, 2011, in a referendum on the name of the district, the majority fell on "Vorpommern-Greifswald" and thus not on the alternative "Ostsee-Haffkreis Vorpommern".

Economy and Transport
economy
The district shows a strong north-south divide in terms of economy. While the city of Greifswald as a science and technology location and the island of Usedom as a tourist center in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania are economically stable in the northern parts of the district , in the hinterland there are few economic alternatives besides agriculture and some tourism (which suffers from a shortage of skilled workers ). Renewable energies, especially wind power, are being expanded significantly, but are hardly supporting the local economy.
Other branches of industry in the district are wood and food processing, the construction industry and the metal processing industry. The largest employer in the district is the University of Greifswald with 5029 employees. The Bundeswehr is represented with 2,400 soldiers and 410 civilian employees in barracks and facilities in Eggesin, Torgelow, Viereck and Wolgast as well as a military training area (Jägerbrück).
Important larger companies are:
- Stadtwerke Greifswald
- Anklam sugar factory in Anklam
- Cheplapharm Arzneimittel GmbH in Greifswald
- HanseYachts AG in Greifswald
- Medigreif group of companies in Greifswald

- Sparkasse Vorpommern in Greifswald
- Energiewerke Nord in Rubenow
- Torgelow iron foundry in Torgelow
- Peene shipyard in Wolgast
- BSW Handels GmbH (archery world) in Anklam (Europe's largest archery shop)
