Demmin, Medieval Hanseatic city in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Germany.
Demmin is a small town in northern Germany where the Peene, Tollense, and Trebel rivers meet. The town sits among flat meadows and gentle hills, surrounded by fields and patches of woodland.
A Slavic fortress stood here in the early Middle Ages, built by the Circipanes. The settlement later came under Polish rule and grew into a trading post with ties to the Hanseatic League.
The tower rises above the old town and serves as a navigational point for people coming from the countryside. Locals refer to the church simply by its dedication to the apostle.
Federal highways B110 and B194 pass through the area and connect the center with larger cities. Trains stop at the local station and link the area with the Baltic coast and the capital.
The oldest secular stone building in the Pomeranian region was already mentioned in records from 1140. It served as a ducal residence for many generations before losing that function.
