Mecklenburg-pomerania hotels - About Mecklenburg-pomerania
Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, sometimes translated as Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania or Mecklenburg-West Pomerania, is a state in northern Germany comprising two regions, Mecklenburg and Western Pomerania (German: Vorpommern, also Hither Pomerania) and has its capital in Schwerin. Due to its lengthy name, the state is often abbreviated as MV, and sometimes also shortened to Meck-Pomm.
The state was formed in the aftermath of World War II from Mecklenburg and the remainder of the former Province of Pomerania, after most of this province and the corresponding region of Pomerania became Polish. With the establishment of East Germany (GDR), the state's name was shortened to "Mecklenburg" before being dissolved into three districts. Mecklenburg-Vorpommern was recreated after the GDR regime's collapse and is a state of reunited Germany since 1990.
The Baltic Sea coastline and its islands (such as Rügen), the cities, as well as the Mecklenburg Lake District are very popular with tourists, making the state one of Germany's leading tourist destinations. Moreover, the universities of Rostock (est. 1419) and Greifswald (est. 1456) are amongst the oldest in Europe. This German Bundesland is also one of the least densely populated federal-states in contemporary Germany with abundant nature and farmland dotting the bucolic landscape.
Major cities include Rostock, Schwerin, Neubrandenburg, Stralsund, Greifswald and Wismar.
Mecklenburg-Vorpommern was the site of the 2007 G8 summit.
