Thiessow is located on the Mönchgut peninsula at the southeastern tip of the island of Rügen in the Southeast Rügen Biosphere Reserve . It is located on the peninsulas Klein Zicker and Südperd, which are arranged around the Zicker See and surrounded on three sides by the Greifswalder Bodden and the Baltic Sea . The 36 meter high Lotsenberg on Südperd is worth mentioning . The southernmost point of the place is the end hook . About nine kilometers to the north is Göhren and 37 kilometers northwest of Bergen .

Former parish

The former municipality of Thiessow had an area of ​​2.35 km² and 151 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2015). It was administered by the Mönchgut-Granitz office based in the municipality of Baabe . The last mayor was Holger Roepke.

history

The place was first mentioned in 1360 as Tisowe . The derivation from the Slavic of Eibenort is not certain. It was mentioned in a deed of purchase from the monks of the Eldena monastery near Greifswald, who bought the southern part of this peninsula, from which the name "Mönchgut" is derived. The place was part of the Principality of Rügen until 1326 and then the Duchy of Pomerania .

During the Thirty Years War , the place was completely destroyed. With the Peace of Westphalia of 1648, Rügen and thus also the area of ​​Thiessow became part of Swedish Pomerania . At the beginning of the 18th century the troops of the Swedish King Charles XII. built entrenchments in the Great Northern War . These fortifications, mainly made of simple earthwork, reinforced by fascines , were intended to protect the fairway through the Greifswalder Bodden to the Strelasund . Along the spit from Thiessow to Klein Zicker, seven ski jumps were lined up according to the Prussian original messtable sheet , there was also a larger jump northeast of Thiessow and a Landwehr directly north of the village . Hardly anything can be seen of these fortifications, because after 1815 all the jumps were abandoned, sanded and leveled, the remains have disappeared through natural erosion. Remains can still be seen on the Lotsenberg.

On September 11, 1806, the Swedish King Gustav IV Adolf ordered the planning and subsequent construction of the war port of Gustavia and an associated town on Klein Zicker. With the Napoleonic invasion in 1807, the project was interrupted, only a landing platform remained (now under water). Planning and construction were not resumed after the withdrawal of the French, who are said to have taken the plans with them. In 1815 Swedish Pomerania came to Prussia, the port construction was not pursued any further.

In 1854 the Prussian government built a pilot station for Stralsund in Thiessow. The Thiessow pilot tower was put into operation in 1909, but it fell into disrepair until 1977. At the end of the 1990s, it was rebuilt based on the historical model. In April 2003 the newly built pilot tower was opened to the public.

Since 1818 Thiessow belonged to the district of Rügen in the Prussian province of Pomerania . From 1952 to 1955 it belonged to the Putbus district. The community then belonged to the Rügen district in the Rostock district until 1990 and became part of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in 1990. The district of Rügen, which has been called this again since 1990, was merged in 2011 in the district of Vorpommern-Rügen .

On July 1, 1950, the previously independent community of Klein Zicker was incorporated.

On January 1, 2018, Thiessow merged with Gager and Middelhagen to form the new Mönchgut community.
