Neppermin is located on the shores of Nepperminer See , a bay in the eastern part of the backwater . In the 1990s, a modern promenade and a campsite were built there. The Balmer See connects to the Nepperminer See in the west . In between lies the small, uninhabited island of Böhmke .
Neppermin is located between Pudagla in the northeast and Mellenthin in the southwest. Benz is two kilometers to the east on the K 35 district road. In a westerly direction, the village of Balm joins the same road . The federal road 111 runs through the village . There is no direct connection to the rail network. The closest stop on the Usedomer Bäderbahn is Schmollensee ( Züssow – Wolgaster Fähre – Swinemünde line ).
history
About 800 m north of Neppermin are the remains of a Slavic castle wall in a peninsular position. This place is popularly known as the "Schwedenschanze". The wall originally had a circular diameter of 40 to 50 m. The up to 4 m high wall remains are today with a few trees. The castle was inhabited until the 12th century. A late Slavic body grave field with rich swords was discovered on a hill above the fortification. This points to graves of the ruling class.
Neppermin was first mentioned in 1254 as "Neprimin". In this document, the dukes Barnim I and Wartislaw III testify. the exchange of villages (including Neppermin) by knight Tammo. The place name is of Slavic origin and means something like (place at) standing water , which refers to the location on the backwater. At the time of the first documentary mention, the place had already existed as a manor for a long time.
A document according to which the village was called "Neppermyn" and, together with the high level of jurisdiction , had been given to the Grobe monastery in 1238 by Duke Barnim I , was recognized as a later forgery.
After 1254 the possessions passed to the Grobe monastery near the city of Usedom . In 1309 the Grobe monastery was relocated to Pudagla. In 1402 the Pudagla Monastery purchased land in Neppermin. This fact is unclear whether the ownership in Neppermin changed in the meantime, or land was added.
In 1858 the village was partially destroyed in a fire. In 1899, the "Imperial Oak", which still exists today, was planted in honor of Kaiser Wilhelm II at the crossroads in Balm.
The flood of the Baltic Sea storm in 1872 also caused severe damage in Neppermin. Another time the place was partially flooded in the New Year's Eve storm surge in 1912.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the towns in the Usedom “hinterland” also began to benefit from the increasing bathing tourism in the “ imperial baths ” in the northeast. This made better transport connections necessary. In 1905, the road to Benz and further into Dargen , east of the Szczecin Lagoon , was built. A paved road to Balm (also part of Benz today) had already been built the year before. In 1912 Neppermin was connected to the power grid.
In 1931 the construction of the road from Mellenthin to Schmollensee via Neppermin began (former state road L 265, today federal road 111). The overpass that still exists today was built in Neppermin. In 1934 the Neppermin Volunteer Fire Brigade was founded.
On July 1, 1950, the previously independent municipality of Balm was incorporated.
From 1991 to 1993 the modern 300-meter-long promenade on the Nepperminer See was laid out. In 1993 the campsite, also directly on Lake Neppermin, was inaugurated. In 1998, a 120 hectare golf course with a hotel and infrastructure was built in the municipality on Lake Balmer.
In 2004 the municipality of Neppermin was integrated into the municipality of Benz.

coat of arms
|
|
Blazon : “Slant left divided by blue and silver; on the division a seagull tumbling down to the right with spread wings in confused colors; above a golden fish jumping on the left, below a green oak leaf. "
The coat of arms was designed by the Landsberger Rainer Spring . It was approved on July 10, 1992 by the Ministry of the Interior and registered under No. 14 of the coat of arms of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. |
| Reasons for the coat of arms: In the coat of arms, the seagull refers to the surrounding waters with their tourist opportunities. While the fish indicates fishing as one of the residents' sources of income, the oak leaf symbolizes the deciduous and coniferous forests in the area. The colors of the shield clearly indicate that the former municipality belonged to the Western Pomerania region. |
flag
The former municipality did not have an officially approved flag .
