History of the community

The island was part of the Principality of Rügen until 1326 and then the Duchy of Pomerania . With the Peace of Westphalia of 1648, Rügen and thus also the area of ​​Ummanz became part of Swedish Pomerania . In 1815 Ummanz came to the Prussian province of Pomerania as part of New Western Pomerania .

Since 1818 Ummanz belonged to the district or district of Rügen , from 1952 to 1955 to the district of Bergen , then until 1990 to the district of Rügen in the Rostock district , since 1990 again to the district of Rügen and since 2011 to the district of Vorpommern-Rügen.

Ummanz was initially not a separate village. The Ummanz estate was a northern part of Waase. In the 1920s the estate was connected to the neighboring village of Moordorf. Here over 800 sheep grazed on the meadows on the Kubitzer Bodden. The two-story, eleven-axis Unrow manor burned down in 1981. A new building has stood there since the 1990s.

Varbelvitz: Landowners were u. a. the princes of Rügen until the middle of the 18th century , then the von Platen (until 1920) and von Berg (until 1945) families . The manor house was rebuilt around 1920 and is currently falling into disrepair after a renovation attempt at the beginning of the 2000s.

Waase: The St. Marien Church was first mentioned in 1322 as Ecclesia Omanz . In 1341 she was placed under the Heilgeisthospital in Stralsund . The east wall of the nave , the sacristy and the choir date from the 15th century . The Antwerp reredos , a late Gothic carved altar, dates from 1520 and has been in this church since 1702.
