The city of Sassnitz (until February 2, 1993 Saßnitz ) is a state-approved resort on the Baltic Sea . It is located on the Jasmund peninsula in the northeast of the island of Rügen and belongs to the district of Vorpommern-Rügen in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (Germany).
For many centuries it was primarily a small fishing village, around 1890 a larger port and the railway connection were added. Saßnitz became a popular ferry location and seaside resort . The place only received city rights in 1957 , making it the second youngest city in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
In 2012, Sassnitz received the UNESCO World Natural Heritage title for the rich primeval beech forests in the Jasmund National Park . To the north-east of the city center, the chalk coast begins with the Stubbenkammer and the Königsstuhl . Sassnitz is also known for its spa architecture in the spa district and for the Sassnitz ferry port in the southern district of Mukran.

The urban area of Sassnitz extends in the northeast of the island of Rügen, in the eastern part of the Jasmund peninsula to the Schmalen Heide in the south. This landscape is best known for its chalk cliffs. In addition, ice age deposits shape the landscape. Depressions are often occupied by smaller lakes. The most striking chalk cliff is the 118 meter high Königsstuhl . Large parts of the urban area cover different forest forms with their typical habitats. The forest on the coastal slopes is a specialty. There are rare woody plants such as wild pears, wild apples and yews. The city is located on the coastal slope at the southern end of the Stubnitz , a seven and a half kilometers long and up to four kilometers wide beech forest . The remaining areas are moors, beaches, meadows, pastures and settlement areas. In the south of the urban area near Mukran are the Wostevitz ponds , a protected marshy depression. The Steinbach flows through the built-up urban area .
There is another lake near the Königsstuhl, the Herthasee , which is around 150 meters in diameter and up to eleven meters deep. It is shrouded in legend and therefore a magnet for tourists.
The city of Sassnitz forms a basic center for its region , with partial functions of a medium-sized center (including the ferry port with international connections).

geology
The Jasmund peninsula is geologically very young. The formation process began around 12,000 years ago with the end of the Vistula Ice Age , which left a young moraine landscape here . The thawing inland ice lifted the land below and the depressions were filled with water, creating the predecessor of the later Baltic Sea, the Ancylus Sea . So only the protruding ridges remained as islands. The large forms of the coasts in the southern part of the Baltic Sea were formed by the Littorina transgression about 7000 to 2500 years ago. About 5000 years ago the sea level rose to its present level. The Jasmund emerged from the high areas. The erosive effect of waves and currents created steep banks that still characterize the landscape today.
history
Until around 1900
The name Sassnitz probably goes back to a Slavic word that means pine (today Polish sosna , Russian and Ukrainian сосна). The area around Sassnitz is an old settlement since the Neolithic and the Bronze Age. The numerous large stone and tumulus graves clearly show this. The ramparts at the "Hengst" and the Buddenhagener "Schloßberg" to the north of the city, like many other archaeological finds, point to settlement in the Slav period.
It was not until 1906 that the farming and fishing village of Crampas and the fishing village of Saßnitz were merged to form the municipality of Saßnitz. Fishing was (and is) important. The desire of many urban citizens to relax by the sea led to a rapid and strong revival on the coasts of the Baltic and North Sea at the end of the 19th century, including on Rügen. As early as 1824, it is reported, the family of the Berlin theologian Friedrich Schleiermacher traveled to Saßnitz for a swim.
In his book Effi Briest, Theodor Fontane named Major von Crampas' lover after the fishing village on Rügen, wrote about Lake Herthasee with its Wendish sacrificial stones, and had the following sentence made in the book: " To travel to Rügen means to travel to Saßnitz ." Johannes Brahms and Kaiser Wilhelm were other illustrious visitors to Saßnitz.
In 1871 the road to Saßnitz was expanded, in 1891 the town was connected to the railway network from Bergen , from 1878 there was a ship connection to Stettin, in 1889 the port in Saßnitz and soon afterwards sea connections to Rønne ( Bornholm ), Trelleborg and Memel . The new connections made the place grow rapidly. The chalk industry was expanded, fish and fish products dominated the working life and tourism grew, with other places with beaches developing better.
From 1900
The beach promenade was built at the beginning of the 20th century. The typical resort architecture with pensions and hotels shaped the appearance of the place during this time. After the ferry and mail steamer lines began, Saßnitz became a civil servants' place with the corresponding new residential buildings.
In 1935/1936 a training castle of the NSDAP was built , which was used by the German Labor Front . Your architect was Julius Schulte-Frohlinde . During the war it became a military hospital, after 1945 the Saßnitz hospital was housed in it (demolished in 1996).
From spring 1945 until the end of the war in May 1945 there was a satellite camp of the Ravensbrück concentration camp in Saßnitz . The fenced and guarded prisoner barracks , only around 20 square meters in size, was located at the end of the former Wedding Park near today's Karl-Liebknecht-Ring. The prisoners, the majority of whom belonged to Jehovah's Witnesses , were assigned as craftsmen to the research institute of the Reich Labor Association for the utilization of seaweed for public health and against deficiency diseases . The commandant of the subcamp was the emeritus professor, painter and sculptor SS-Oberführer Arnold Waldschmidt under the direction of the SS Economic and Administrative Main Office . Today several stumbling blocks in the city remind of the prisoners.
From the end of February 1945, Saßnitz increasingly became an alternative port for refugees from the east for the overburdened Swinoujscie . On the night of March 6th to 7th, 1945, a British bombing raid with 191 Lancaster bombers took place on the city and the ships lying in the harbor and in the roadstead . 17 vehicles were sunk, including the hospital ship Robert Möhring (353 dead) in the ferry bed and the destroyer Z 28 (150 dead) in the roadstead . In total, around 1200 people died in the 20-minute attack. 537 apartments were destroyed and the east pier and the quay were badly damaged.
Built between Sassnitz and Dargast and entertained the VEB pumped storage Hohenwarte to GDR times the operating pioneer camp " Pablo Neruda " for the children of his company employees.
In 1949 the VEB Fischkombinat Saßnitz was established at the port and employed up to 2200 workers. With the Lauterbach part of the business, it became the second largest food goods factory in the GDR. In 1977 150,000 tons of canned fish, 3,000 tons of preserves and 500 tons of smoked products were produced.
1957 Saßnitz received the city charter . The fishing industry was expanded, but the boarding houses increasingly fell into disrepair because holidaymakers preferred the sandy beaches in the south and north of the island.
Around 1977 the Saßnitz fishing fleet had 48 26.5 m cutters, 15 freeze trawlers and 2 refrigerated and transport vessels. It landed over 60,000 tons of fish annually.
In 1984, a new port for rail ferry traffic between the GDR and the Soviet Union was built in Mukran. After 1991 the Sassnitz ferry port was restructured for connections throughout the Baltic Sea region.
From 1991 the historic city center was completely renovated as part of urban development funding. The houses of the resort architecture were renovated and kept largely uniform in white. The old town harbor was included in the urban redevelopment from 2000.
In 2007 a 274 m long suspension bridge for pedestrians was inaugurated, which connects the city center between the train station, Rügen gallery, spa hotel and main street with the Sassnitz harbor.
From 1952 to 1955 Sassnitz was part of the Bergen district in the newly founded GDR district of Rostock . The circle Bergen was on 1 January 1956 with the Kreis Bergen on Rügen county united. Sassnitz belonged to this district in the Rostock district from 1956 to 1990, and from 1990 to 2011 to the Rügen district in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . Since the district reform in 2011 , the city has been in the Vorpommern-Rügen district .
Population development
With the boom as a seaside resort and ferry port, the population of the community of Sassnitz grew steadily, from 332 in 1885 to 3987 in 1925 and 7826 in 1939. The further expansion as a ferry and fishing port brought Sassnitz, which was elevated to a town in 1957, another strong population increase (1957: 12.284, 1971: 13.676, 1981: 14.944). Since 1990, however, the population has decreased significantly again.

Economy and Infrastructure
Companies
The economy of Sassnitz is determined by tourism and the port economy.
The chalk mining at Klementelvitz far from Sassnitz is a traditional industry of the island. Chalk has been mined here in open-cast mining since 1840 . The chalk is not only used for the production of gypsum , but because of its high quality it is also used by power plants for their filter systems. The Rügen chalk is used for health and preventive medicine in the chalk spa in Sassnitz.
The Rügen Fisch AG (formerly New Rügenfisch GmbH ) is based in Sassnitz. The company, which was extensively modernized after reunification, is an employer for around 200 people in Sassnitz and produces a wide range of canned fish. In addition, the Cuxhaven Kutterfisch headquarters has a branch in Sassnitz. Sassnitz is also the home port for coastal and small deep-sea fishing ships.
At the end of the 1990s, the Meyer shipyard in Papenburg was considering building a shipyard for cruise ships here. However, this was rejected on all sides because of the proximity to the national park and the change in the lake silhouette associated with the construction of such a facility.
The Sassnitz ferry port in the Mukran district ( Mukran Port ) is Germany's easternmost port for large-scale shipping. This location enables the shortest sea connections from Germany to Sweden, Denmark ( Bornholm ), Finland, Russia and the Baltic States. The port is located on the Prorer Wiek directly on the open sea and thus enables the shipping industry to navigate easily. Water depths of 10½ m make the port accessible to all classes of ships operating in the Baltic Sea region. In 2013 the total throughput in the port of Sassnitz-Mukran was 3.2 million tons (t) (2012: 3.5 million t, 2011: 4.9 million t)
Thanks to its flexible track systems, the Sassnitz ferry port had developed into a special port for combined freight traffic . In the meantime, the use is decreasing, in 2013 only 20,000 freight wagons (2012 31,000 wagons) were transshipped on the Stena Line route to and from Trelleborg . There are around 7,400 wagons annually on the lines to and from the Baltic States .
Various industrial and commercial companies are located at Mukran Port:
- At Euro-Baltic Fischververarbeitung GmbH of the Dutch operating company Parlevliet & Van der Plas , over 30,000 tons of herring are processed into herring rags, fillets and frozen goods for the fish industry . A large proportion is supplied by fishermen from Sassnitz and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, who deliver their catches at agreed fixed prices with their own cutters, with rented fish tankers or by truck to the pier of the modern fish processing center. The rest is delivered from Schleswig-Holstein , Denmark and Sweden.
- The INVO planning GmbH from Ribnitz-Damgarten to establish a brick factory for 36 million euros on the former railway land in the area of the ferry terminal to the locational advantages in terms of delivery and collection of granules to use and finished products by sea.
The sea pilots of the Warnemünde- based Pilot Brotherhood Wismar-Rostock-Stralsund are responsible for piloting tasks in the port of Sassnitz and the upstream sea area .
A locational advantage had Mukran the construction of the Nord Stream - natural gas - pipeline from Russia to Lubmin. The steel pipes with a diameter of 1.4 m were transported here from the Ruhr area . A factory for the concrete coating and preservation of the pipe elements was set up on the spacious railway site, and all the pipes for both lines were completed here. After interim storage on the station and port premises, the pipe elements were brought to the laying vessels, where they were processed and lowered.
For the planned laying of the second strand, Nord Stream 2, starting in 2018, the systems in Mukran have been used again for the storage and concrete coating of numerous other pipes since the end of 2016.
On the site at the Sassnitz ferry port, an industrial area of around 23 hectares was developed for relocation between 2013 and the beginning of 2015 for 9.8 million euros. For this purpose, EU funds were used to improve the regional economic structure in the amount of 5.5 million euros.
traffic
Sassnitz is the end point of the federal highway 96 to Stralsund . This is also where the L 29 state road to Binz and Putbus begins .
Sassnitz train station is on the Stralsund – Sassnitz railway line . Trains on the RE9 regional express line run to Rostock here and at the Lancken stop .
In addition to the Sassnitz train station, there is the ferry station in Mukran called Sassnitz Fährhafen . Even before the First World War , Sassnitz Hafen station was set up as a ferry station for the so-called royal line to Sweden ( Trelleborg ). In the 1980s, has been in the district Mukran a new ferry port with wide - and standard gauge - tracks built. From there there are connections to Denmark ( Rønne on Bornholm ) and Saint Petersburg ( Russia ). The route to Klaipėda , Lithuania , was suspended on September 30, 2013.
In addition to road vehicles, the Stena Line ferries to Trelleborg (Sweden) also carry rail cars. In addition to the still existing night train connection Berlin - Malmö (only with couchette cars ), freight wagons were also transported until 2014 . In 2013 there were around 20,000, in 2004 around 60,000 freight wagons. As a result of this development, the shipping company Stena Line relocated freight traffic by rail ferry between Germany and Sweden to Rostock in mid-June 2014. In 2013, 524,000 passengers used the Königslinie to Trelleborg. A total of more than 561,000 ferry passengers were counted in Sassnitz in 2013.
The ferry line to Bornholm has been served year-round with the Hammershus since 2018 , previously only in summer.

Say
The German goddess Hertha , also called Earth Mother Nerthus , is said to have lived in the Jasmund National Park in the Herthaburg , which is named after her . In fact, some earth walls belonged to a former Slavic refuge . Allegedly the goddess Hertha went to Lake Herthasee once a year to bathe in it. Mortals were barred from seeing the bathing goddess. Therefore, all servants and slaves who helped her bathe were then drowned in the lake. Theodor Fontane took up this legend in his novel Effi Briest .
The Königsstuhl also got its name from an incident in the legendary past. He who could climb the cliffs from the seaside became king.
Another legend reports that the famous privateer Klaus Störtebeker was born in 1340 on the Ruschvitz estate on Jasmund. The pirate gorge in Sassnitz, not far from the old town, is said to have been one of the numerous hiding places of Klaus Störtebeker and his Vitalienbrüders in the Baltic Sea. Since 1993 the Störtebeker Festival has been taking place on the open-air stage in Ralswiek in the summer months .
