Neuvorpommern even New-Vorpommern was the part of Pomerania called, the one with the Congress of Vienna in 1815 Prussia came.

The area of ​​New Western Pomerania corresponded to the previous Swedish Western Pomerania in the extent that it had remained after the Peace of Stockholm in 1720, i.e. it included Western Pomerania north of the Peene , including the island of Rügen . With special emphasis on Rügen, the designation Neuvorpommern and Rügen was also used for New Western Pomerania . The part of Western Pomerania, which Sweden had ceded to Prussia as early as 1720, was in contrast called Old Western Pomerania .

New Western Pomerania became part of the Prussian province of Pomerania and formed the administrative district of Stralsund there from 1818 to 1932 , but retained a special legal position at least until the legal reform in Prussia of 1849, which resulted from the Vienna treaties of 1815 and which the king absolutely wanted to keep . So from the previous positions of New West Pomerania in 1823 a municipal parliament of New West Pomerania and Rügen was formed, which existed until 1881. The Pomeranian Provincial Parliament, also formed in 1823, was elected separately for New Western Pomerania, Old Western Pomerania and Western Pomerania . With the gradual loss of this special position, the name Neuvorpommern also became unusable.
