history

We find the first mention of Saal in a document from the city of Barth from 1255. At that time there was already an abandoned Slavic castle complex at the mouth of the Saaler Bach in today's Saaler Bodden . The castle complex is likely to be Stekeborg or Stekenborg . In all the times when the castle complex was managed, the bay still had free access to the Baltic Sea. The location, both hidden and provided with the possibility of monitoring the vast bodden area, was strategically valuable.

Around 1255 the population consisted of established Slavs , immigrant Westphalians and Danes . The first church already existed at that time, but was entirely made of wood and consecrated to the "Holy Cross".

In the 13th century, the Bailiwick "Sale" named after the place was one of the twelve bailiwicks of the Prince of Rügen . Saal was the seat of the bailiff and thus the administrative center, market place and court of the province, to which twelve other villages belonged. Later, Saal lost its importance and Barth and Damgarten took over this role. After 1326 it belonged to the Duchy of Pomerania .

Others

According to legend, the Vitalienbrüder under Klaus Störtebeker are said to have used the castle on the Bodden until 1391 and from there they brought a treasure under the current bell tower of the village church. In 1391 they were involved in a battle with the Danes on the Ribnitzer See, had to flee and never entered the floor of Saal again. So the treasure should still lie there.
