Discover Millienhagen-Oebelitz

Millienhagen-Oebelitz offers several specific points of interest for planning your trip: the countryside west of the village of Oebelitz, the history of Steinfeld Manor House, and a tourist rest and stopping facility in Oebelitz. The municipality’s relationship to three protected landscape areas also shapes the local setting. If you are looking for a hotel for a stay in Millienhagen-Oebelitz, these themes can help you decide which aspects of the destination matter most to you.

Countryside and geographical context

West of the village of Oebelitz lies an area that has been rewetted. This allows flora and fauna to adapt and develop without coming into conflict with intensively farmed land. This specific feature of the landscape connects ecological development with a clearly defined land-use context.

The municipality of Millienhagen-Oebelitz is surrounded by, or directly overlapped by, the Trebeltal, Barthe, and Hellberge protected landscape areas. The Lübeck–Stettin long-distance bridleway also crosses the municipality. The protected areas and the long-distance trail represent different geographical contexts: landscape conservation in one case and a route with a wider regional designation in the other.

Manor house history and rest stop

If you are interested in the history of the area as well as its countryside, Steinfeld Manor House offers a specific point of focus. It was owned by the von Oebelitz family until the 15th century; after the 15th century, it passed to Neuenkamp Monastery. The sequence can therefore be summarized briefly: the family’s ownership was followed by its association with the monastery.

At the end of 2015, a tourist rest facility was established in Oebelitz as a place to pause and stop; it includes an integrated children’s playground. For a trip with children, the playground may be a factor in choosing the destination. If you would like to include the facility in your plans, check the current visitor information in advance.

Vorpommern-Rügen: geographical and cultural context

The wider destination of Vorpommern-Rügen encompasses a variety of geographical areas. These include the Fischland-Darß-Zingst peninsula chain, as well as the island of Rügen and the offshore islands of Hiddensee and Ummanz. Significant cultural and natural heritage sites are also located within the wider county: the old town of the Hanseatic city of Stralsund is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site “Historic Centres of Stralsund and Wismar.” The beech forests in Jasmund National Park on Rügen are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site “Primeval Beech Forests of the Carpathians and Other Regions of Europe.”

The county’s galleries offer another cultural insight. The Galerie im Kloster in Ribnitz-Damgarten mainly showcases contemporary regional art, as well as a permanent exhibition of graphics by Lyonel Feininger. The county’s art collection is also preserved, maintained, and administered there. It comprises around 500 works of painting, graphic art, sculpture, ceramics, silk painting, and textile design, spanning the period from the late 19th century to the present day. In Putbus, the gallery in the Orangery hosts up to eight exhibitions a year in a historic building in the heart of the town of art and culture. Readings and concerts are also part of its program. Traditionally, at the end of the year, it presents works from the collection of the Rügen Cultural Foundation, which comprises more than 1,500 exhibits. If you are planning a gallery visit, check current visitor information and the program in advance.
