Vorpommern-Greifswald is a district in the east of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. It is bounded by (from the west and clockwise) the districts Mecklenburgische Seenplatte, Vorpommern-Rügen, the Baltic Sea, Poland (West Pomeranian Voivodeship) and the state Brandenburg. The district seat is the town Greifswald.[2]
The district was established by merging the former districts of Ostvorpommern, Uecker-Randow, the Ämter Jarmen-Tutow and Peenetal/Loitz from the former Demmin district and the former district-free town Greifswald as part of the local government reform of September 2011.[2] The name of the district was decided by referendum on 4 September 2011.[3] The project name for the district was Südvorpommern.
