Anklamer Torfmoor
The Anklamer Torfmoor, also called the Anklamer Stadtbruch od ''Städtisches Torfmoor'', is an extensive area of bog on the western shore of the Stettin Lagoon. Much of the area is part of the Anklamer Stadtbruch Nature Reserve. A storm surge on 4 November 1995 caused the levee, dyke to break and the Anklamer Stadtbruch was subsequently permanently flooded, resulting in the formation of the Anklamer Torfmoor, which was opposed by the local inhabitants who were affected. Those responsible at the time decided not to repair the embankments and not to pump out the water. Since then its use for forestry has been limited and trees are dying off. In the past there were several attempts to drain the bog in order to extract peat. Thanks to the old farm tracks that lead into the area, almost all of it may be visited and explored. The bog lies within the borough of Anklam. The surrounding municipalities are Bargischow, Bugewitz and Leopoldshagen. In 2020, journalist Andrew Müller in the '' ...

Ortsteil
A village is a clustered human settlement or Residential community, community, larger than a hamlet (place), hamlet but smaller than a town (although the word is often used to describe both hamlets and smaller towns), with a population typically ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand. Though villages are often located in rural areas, the term urban village is also applied to certain urban neighborhoods. Villages are normally permanent, with fixed dwellings; however, transient villages can occur. Further, the dwellings of a village are fairly close to one another, not scattered broadly over the landscape, as a dispersed settlement. In the past, villages were a usual form of community for societies that practice subsistence agriculture, and also for some non-agricultural societies. In Great Britain, a hamlet earned the right to be called a village when it built a Church (building), church.

Hanseatic Town
The Hanseatic League (; gml, Hanse, , ; german: label= Modern German, Deutsche Hanse) was a medieval commercial and defensive confederation of merchant guilds and market towns in Central and Northern Europe. Growing from a few North German towns in the late 12th century, the League ultimately encompassed nearly 200 settlements across seven modern-day countries; at its height between the 13th and 15th centuries, it stretched from the Netherlands in the west to Russia in the east, and from Estonia in the north to Kraków, Poland in the south. The League originated from various loose associations of German traders and towns formed to advance mutual commercial interests, such as protection against piracy and banditry. These arrangements gradually coalesced into the Hanseatic League, whose traders enjoyed duty-free treatment, protection, and diplomatic privileges in affiliated communities and their trade routes. Hanseatic Cities gradually developed a common legal system governing th ...
