Rügisch-Pommerscher History Association

The Rügisch-Pommersche Geschichtsverein zu Greifswald and Stralsund was a regional history association in northeast Germany . It was founded in 1899 and succeeded the Greifswald department and the Greifswald Committee of the Society for Pomeranian History and Archeology . Since 1870 this has been known as the "Rügisch-Pomeranian Department" and since 1885 "Rügisch-Pommerscher Geschichtsverein". The final separation from the company did not take place until its own statutes were passed at the constituent meeting on October 28, 1899.

As his sphere of activity, he considered the administrative district of Stralsund within the Prussian province of Pomerania , for which the designation " Neuvorpommern und Rügen " had become naturalized in the 19th century after the transition to Prussia . It was identical to the territorial status of Swedish Pomerania between 1720 and 1815. As a club magazine, it published the Pomeranian Yearbooks , which appeared from 1900 to 1940 in 34 regular and three supplementary volumes.

With the end of the Second World War, the activities of the association also ended. Like all previous historical societies in the Soviet occupation zone, it was not re-admitted by the occupying forces. Today the Society for Pomeranian History, Antiquity and Art e. V. also as his successor, which is why their club magazine, the Baltic Studies , has had the additional title "Pomeranian Yearbooks for Regional History" since 1996.

The archived documents of the association are stored together with those of the Greifswald department of the Society for Pomeranian History and Archeology in the Greifswald University Archives.
