location
Völkshagen is located in the far west of the Vorpommern-Rügen district on the border with the Rostock district in the west of the city of Marlow, about 15 kilometers west of the core city and 25 kilometers east-northeast of Rostock.

Three kilometers west of Völkshagen is Blankenhagen , the church village responsible for Völkshagen.
history
The place was first mentioned in 1233 in a document from Bishop Brunward von Schwerin. The name with the ending -hagen indicates that it is a German foundation and a clearing village in a forest area. The place Volkshagen was spelled until about the end of the 19th century, before today's spelling prevailed.
Volkshagen has always been a farming village without a manor.
In 1930 there were five farm farmers, 31 Büdner, 19 cottagers, a forestry and a jug registered in Völkshagen. At that time the place had 327 inhabitants.
In 1960 an agricultural production cooperative (LPG) was founded in the village , which later became part of the LPG Gresenhorst and existed until 1991. 1974 Völkshagen was incorporated into Gresenhorst. The former municipality of Gresenhorst and thus also Völkshagen has been part of the city of Marlow since January 1, 1999.
