The city emerged from the village of Rybanis ( Ryba means "fish"), which was located in the swampy Recknitz lowland . The transition over the Recknitz is also called the Mecklenburg Pass . On the Ribnitz side, the pass farm is located directly on the river .
To protect the important river crossing over the Recknitz, the Mecklenburg princes had a castle built near the river around 1200, which later became the nucleus of the Ribnitz town center. Until the 14th century, the place belonged to the rulership of Rostock , then to the principality, and later to the (Grand) Duchy of Mecklenburg.
Ribnitz is first mentioned in a document from 1233. In 1323 the Ribnitz Poor Clare Monastery was founded by Prince Heinrich II of Mecklenburg . Ribnitz became a state town in Mecklenburg and as such was one of the towns in the Wendish district that were represented on the Mecklenburg state parliaments of the state estates united in 1523 until 1918 .
Until the end of the Thirty Years' War in 1648, the Recknitz between Ribnitz and Damgarten formed the border between the Duchy of Pomerania and the Duchy of Mecklenburg . Thereafter until 1815 between Swedish Pomerania and Mecklenburg.
In 1889 the Ribnitz station was put into operation. The upswing in the city of Ribnitz began in 1934 with the construction of production facilities that were important for the war effort ( Walther-Bachmann-Flugzeugbau KG). After the founding of the GDR and until German reunification , VEB Ostseeschmuck , VEB fiber board factory and VEB riled leather goods were important industrial companies.
On July 1, 1950, the towns of Ribnitz and Damgarten merged to form the later district town of Ribnitz-Damgarten . Both city councils had spoken out against the merger.
