The Große Stubber is a stony sandbank in the eastern Greifswalder Bodden that dries out at low tide . In the Middle Ages , the stubber was an island that served the lagoon fishermen as a base. By the pliers of stones, the island has been steadily decreasing. In the 19th century, a lot of gravel was extracted there for road construction in Greifswald . As a result, the stubber was first flooded in the first half of the 20th century. The large boulders that are still left today pose a threat to pleasure craft. The stubber is marked with a shoal buoy for shipping . Since 2006 the regatta "Rund Stubber" has been held every year in mid-August.
The name Stubber is derived from Slavic : Stopin stands for level . In 1678 the Stubber Bank served as a collection point for the entire navy for the invasion of Rügen (1678) , which ended with the successful capture of the Swedish-ruled island of Rügen by the Allies Brandenburg-Prussia and Denmark .
The large stubber has been used by the Baltic gray seal (H. g. Balticus) as a resting place since 2004 , after this species had been completely exterminated on the German Baltic coast by 1930. From 2006 onwards, around 7 to 25 gray seals were counted on the Great Stubber all year round.
