Western Pomerania, Historical region along Baltic Sea coast in northern Germany.
The territory spans across northeastern Germany, featuring extensive coastlines, lagoons, and islands such as Rügen, Usedom, and Hiddensee along the Baltic Sea.
Following the Thirty Years War in the 17th century, Swedish forces controlled the region until territories transferred between Denmark and Prussia through multiple exchanges.
The name originates from Slavic language 'po more' meaning land by the sea, reflecting the mixed Germanic and Slavic influences in regional traditions.
The German section contains 470,000 residents spread across major urban centers including Stralsund, Greifswald, and multiple coastal towns like Ribnitz-Damgarten.
The region contains Jasmund National Park on Rügen Island, featuring white chalk cliffs rising directly from the Baltic Sea.
