Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (also known
as Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania/Mecklenburg-Hitherpomerania
in English) is a federal state in
northern Germany. The capital city
is Schwerin. The state was formed
through the merger of the historic
regions of Mecklenburg and
Vorpommern after World War II,
dissolved in 1952 and recreated
prior to the German reunification in
1990.
Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is the sixth
largest German state by territory,
and the least densely populated one.
The coastline of the Baltic Sea,
including islands such as Rügen and
Usedom, as well as the Mecklenburg
Lake District are characterised by
many holiday resorts and pristine
nature, making Mecklenburg-Vorpommern
one of Germany's leading tourist
destinations. Three of Germany's
fourteen national parks are in
Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, in addition
to several hundred nature
conservation areas. The University
of Rostock (est. 1419) and the
University of Greifswald (est. 1456)
are amongst the oldest in Europe.
Major
cities include Rostock, Schwerin,
Neubrandenburg, Stralsund,
Greifswald and Wismar. Mecklenburg-Vorpommern
was the site of the 33rd G8 summit
in 2007. Sixth-largest in area but
only fourteenth in overall
population among Germany's sixteen
Bundeslandes, it is bounded to the
north by the Baltic Sea, to the west
by Schleswig-Holstein, to the
southwest by Lower Saxony, to the
south by Brandenburg, and to the
east by the West Pomeranian
Voivodeship in Poland.
