Torgelow, Municipality on Uecker River in Vorpommern-Greifswald, Germany.
Torgelow is a municipality on the Uecker River in the Vorpommern-Greifswald district and is characterized by flat landscape that gently stretches through the region. The town core appears modest with typical buildings of a rural German settlement.
The area was under Swedish rule between the 17th and 18th centuries before later coming under Prussian control. Only in the mid-20th century did the settlement receive city status.
The name derives from the Uecker River that flows through the area, and the town shows itself as a typical small northern German city with residential buildings and local shops. Community life here follows the rhythm of a rural region in northeastern Germany.
The town lies in a rural area and is reached via country roads that connect larger cities in the region. For those on foot, the settlement is easy to navigate and explore.
The municipality took on its current form through merger with a smaller neighboring locality, which changed its geographic extent. This combination united different settlement areas under one administration.
