Information AboutVorpommern |
|
In the Middle Ages Vorpommern was populated by the Slavic Obodrits people, who were related to the Pomeranians . In the 12th Century it was conquered first by Danes and then by Pomeranians. From that time the region shared a common history with Pomerania , except 200 years from 17th Century to the 19th Century when it was called Swedish Pomerania . At the end of the Second World War in 1945 , Vorpommern became part of the East German state Mecklenburg-Vorpommern , later of the ''Bezirk Rostock'' and the ''Bezirk Neubrandenburg''. The rest of Pomerania was transferred to Poland . Towns in Vorpommern include Stralsund , Greifswald , Demmin , Anklam , Wolgast , and Barth . |
