Ribnitz-Damgarten, Administrative municipality in Vorpommern-Rügen district, Germany.
Ribnitz-Damgarten is a town in the Vorpommern-Rügen district situated among lakes in northeastern Germany between the Hanseatic cities of Rostock and Stralsund. The center preserves medieval and early modern architecture throughout its streets and squares.
The town arose from the merger of Ribnitz documented in the 13th century and Damgarten chartered in the 13th century in 1950. Both trading towns developed separately before formally joining together.
The amber museum housed in a former convent displays craftswork that has been central to the town's identity for centuries. Visitors can observe how this craft tradition shaped the local community.
The town is accessible by car, bus, and rail with connections to larger regional cities. Visitors can explore the museums and harbor on foot at a comfortable pace.
During the 20th century, the town shifted from a fishing community to an aircraft maintenance and repair center. This transformation left marks on the town's buildings and economic structure.
