● Hanshagen
The Hanshagen Watermill, a listed historic building, is now a fully operational technical museum. Discover its eventful 500-year history. Experience it as a working grain mill—from the mill pond to the grinding mechanism—and as a paper mill through its architecture, as well as through text, images, and models. Water wheels, powered solely by flowing water, formed the basis of the world’s first complex machines: mills. Their basic design, in use since 200 B.C., ushered in the cultural and historical transition from artisanal to industrial production. The Hanshagen Watermill was built in 1524 as a monastic grain mill. Following the Reformation, it passed into ducal ownership in 1535. After the Thirty Years’ War and by Swedish decree, it became the property of the University of Greifswald in 1654. In 1750, the university converted it into a paper mill using rags. Rising demand for paper necessitated a new building adjacent to the old mill in 1800. However, the invention of wood-pulped cellulose made traditional paper production unprofitable, which is why the facility was converted back into a grain mill in 1855. Sold by the university in 1920, it remained in operation until it suffered extensive damage in 1952. Afterward, despite its status as a protected historic building, it fell into disrepair to the point where it had to be closed by the building authorities. Following the mill’s acquisition in 2010 and a complex, meticulous restoration by Schilling Invest GmbH & Co.KG, it was opened as a technical museum on German Mill Day 2012. To provide volunteer support for the maintenance of the property and to assist those interested in the mill, the "Verein Wassermühle Hanshagen e.V." was founded in 2021. Open regularly for video-guided tours and personal guided tours, visitors can observe the fascinating mill technology in operation and gain an understanding of the highly developed craft of milling and its significance for human development.
Anklam State Theater of Western Pomerania
● Anklam
In 1949, the curtain rose at the Anklam Theater on *Iphigenia in Tauris*, which opened the very first season of the small theater in the Schützenhaus. Hardly anyone at the time would have expected that this small community theater would one day become one of the most versatile cultural institutions in our state. In 1993, the Theater Anklam became the Vorpommersche Landesbühne, which today delights residents and tourists alike on the sunny island of Usedom and the neighboring mainland with theater of all kinds at three different venues and on open-air stages. Permanent venues: Theater Anklam, Blechbüchse Zinnowitz, Barther Boddenbühne. Summer performances: “Chapeau Rouge” theater tent in Heringsdorf, right on the beach promenade; the Vineta Festival on the Ostseebühne Zinnowitz; theater on the Usedom Harbor Stage; Barther Theater Garden; “Die Peene brennt” on the banks of the Peene River in Anklam in early September, as well as the Vorpommern Theater Academy—a training center for actors in Zinnowitz. The company’s headquarters is the Theater Anklam. Since 1997, audiences have been following the stories of the sunken city of Vineta annually at the Ostseebühne. The cast includes actors from the Vorpommersche Landesbühne Anklam, students from the Vorpommern Theater Academy, and amateur performers from the region. Whether it’s sophisticated entertainment featuring works by the great playwrights, summery comedies, rousing musical revues, fairy-tale children’s plays, or fantastic open-air spectacles, every audience member will find something to their taste here.
Viking Graves at "Altes Lager" in Menzlin
● Menzlin
South of Menzlin lie the historic Viking graves. This area was once home to a Slavic settlement and a Viking-era trading post. The Vikings, known primarily as a warlike people, were also skilled traders and seafarers; they traded along the entire Baltic Sea coast and had excellent boat builders and skilled craftsmen. This was revealed by archaeological investigations at the former lake trading center of Menzlin near Anklam. The graves of Scandinavian origin discovered here, shaped symbolically like ships and circles, are the only ones of their kind found so far on the southern Baltic Sea coast. Extensive anthropological studies have shown that these are Scandinavian women’s graves containing a variety of grave goods, including Slavic pottery vessels and Scandinavian traditional jewelry. The shape and grave goods of these burial sites suggest that Vikings and Slavs lived peacefully together and were buried side by side in Slavic settlement areas.
