VorpommernStettin

VorpommernStettin refers to a former administrative district in Germany, located in the northeastern part of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. It was created in 1994 through the merger of the districts of Ueckermünde and Anklam, along with parts of the former district of Greifswald. The district's name reflects its geographical position, "Vorpommern" meaning "Hinterpommern" or "Western Pomerania," and "Stettin" referring to the city of Szczecin, which historically was a significant center for the region, though it is now located in Poland.

The administrative seat of VorpommernStettin was Greifswald. The district was characterized by a diverse landscape, encompassing the Baltic Sea coast, the Szczecin Lagoon (Oder Lagoon), and extensive agricultural areas. Key towns within the district included Greifswald, Anklam, and Ueckermünde. The region had a rich history, influenced by Slavic, Germanic, and Swedish settlements.

In September 2011, as part of a broader administrative reform in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the district of Vorpommern-Rügen was dissolved and merged with Vorpommern-Greifswald. The former territory of VorpommernStettin now forms a significant part of the new, larger Vorpommern-Greifswald district. This reform aimed to create more efficient and sustainable administrative structures.
