Tucked into open farmland west of the Strelasund, Steinhagen is a place whose character is shaped by its rural position on the mainland of Vorpommern. The Baltic strait separates this coast from the island of Rügen, while nearby Stralsund is the area’s main urban and maritime centre. Stralsund’s historic core, distinguished by Brick Gothic churches and merchants’ houses, is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Steinhagen belongs to a setting of fields, small settlements and local roads rather than the Baltic resort coast. The wider region formed part of Swedish Pomerania until 1815.
