Cultural highlights in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania

One of the most beautiful corners of Germany is without a doubt Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, or as the locals say: MeckPomm. The state not only has a breathtaking coastline along the Baltic Sea, but also an impressive cultural diversity. From the historic cities such as Rostock, Neubrandenburg and Stralsund to the picturesque islands of Rügen and Usedom, there is a lot to discover. [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania) describes the region's rich history, dating back to 10,000 BC. It goes back to the 1st century BC and has numerous influences from Germanic and Slavic peoples.

The economic situation has stabilized in recent years, even if unemployment at 7.1 percent in October 2018 is still one of the highest in Germany. Nevertheless, sectors such as biotechnology, IT and tourism are on the rise. The numbers speak for themselves: In 2018, the GDP of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania reached 44.5 billion euros, which accounts for 1.3 percent of the overall German economy.

A look at the future

When it comes to education, the state has two of the oldest universities in Europe, the University of Rostock (founded in 1419) and the University of Greifswald (1456), which not only have a long tradition but are also highly regarded internationally. An important tool for decision-makers and researchers is the “Mecklenburg by the Numbers” platform, which GIS Mecklenburg provides. This project provides deeper insights into the community and enables informed decision-making based on reliable data.

But despite all the successes, there are challenges to be overcome, especially with regard to the integration of a growing number of foreign residents, including many from Ukraine, Poland and Syria. Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is a lively melting pot that benefits greatly from cultural exchange.

It is to be hoped that the region will continue to be a place where growth and innovation go hand in hand. Because there is always something going on in Vorpommern-Rügen - and the people have a good hand when it comes to seizing new opportunities.
