Ribnitz-Damgarten, Administrative municipality in Vorpommern-Rügen district, Germany.

Ribnitz-Damgarten extends over 122 square kilometers near Lake Ribnitz, positioned between the Hanseatic cities of Rostock and Stralsund in northeastern Germany.

The merger of two separate towns, Ribnitz documented in 1233 and Damgarten chartered in 1258, formed the current municipality on July 5, 1950.

The German Amber Museum, housed in a former Poor Clare Convent, displays historical artifacts and contemporary amber crafts that represent local traditions.

The municipality maintains direct transportation connections to major cities, with regular bus services and rail links operating throughout the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern region.

The town transformed from a fishing community into an industrial center through the establishment of an airplane repair facility during the 20th century.
