View of Schaprode

Schaprode:

Schaprode was first mentioned in a document in 1193. Presumably there was a Slavic prince seat near Schaprode.

The Johanneskirche is a Gothic brick building from the 15th century. The interior of the building is designed with mostly baroque furnishings. In the center of the village are thatched-roof fishermen's cottages , some of which have historic carved front doors. There are sayings on many walls - both in standard German and in the local flat variant .

Litter:

Landowners were u. a. the families von der Osten (early period), von Platen (from the 1st half of the 18th century), von Lotzow (from 1749), von Bohlen (from 1757) and Johannes Volkmann (from the beginning of the 20th century to 1945). The core of the manor house dates from the 18th century; it was rebuilt in 1871 and partially increased.

Udars:

Udars was mentioned in a document in the early 14th century. Landowners were u. a. the families von Pentz (before 1408), von Barnekow and until the Reformation the monastery Hiddensee . After that it was the domain of the Duke of Pomerania until 1657 and then again the estate of the von Wolfrad (until 1734), von Usedom (until about 1901), Kroos (until 1926) and Karl von Schultz (until 1945) families . The unrenovated manor house probably dates from after 1735 (other source 1660) with older remains. From 1945 to 1996 it was a residential building. The forest park was created around 1800.

Insel Öhe (living space ) is privately owned by an agricultural company. It can only be reached by private ferry connections.

The flag of the municipality is made of green cloth, covered with a white, continuous blue cross. The height of the cross arms is one third and that of the hem is one twentieth the height of the flag cloth. In the middle of the flag, above everything, is the municipal coat of arms, which takes up two thirds of the height of the flag. The relation of the height of the flag cloth to the length is like 3: 5.

• Port and Ferries:

The port of Schaprode, through which the main ferry traffic with Hiddensee runs, is important for the community and for the whole of Rügen . The port is the only year-round possibility for tourists and residents to reach the island; this is done by passenger ships and taxi boats. In addition, the Vitte cargo ferry runs via the Schaproder Hafen , on which supply vehicles get to Hiddensee. During their stay on the car-free island, most tourists park their vehicles in the port's parking lot. A separate branch of industry has developed here, which in addition to two public parking spaces includes several privately run parking spaces.

• Bus:

The journey to Schaprode and Hiddensee is also several times a day with buses of the Verkehrsgesellschaft Vorpommern-Rügen (VVR) u. a. possible from Bergen auf Rügen train station or Stralsund train station . There is an additional bus connection in the winter months when the ferry service from Stralsund to Hiddensee is suspended. During this time, a bus line will be set up as a replacement ship service.
