Franzburg (German pronunciation: [ˈfʁantsbʊʁk]) is a municipality in the Vorpommern-Rügen district of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany.
In the course of the medieval conversion of Pomerania and German Ostsiedlung, prince Wizlaw I granted the central parts of the woods covering the mainland section of his Principality of Rügen, then Danish, to Cistercian monks from Camp Abbey in Lower Saxony who build Neuenkamp Abbey on 8 November 1231.
The woods were cleared, and numerous villages of the Hagenhufendorf type were set up and populated with German settlers.
In 1325, the last prince of Rügen died without an issue, and Neuenkamp with the rest of the principality was inherited by the dukes of Pomerania.
When Bogislaw however inherited Stettin in 1603, he lost interest in his Franzburg ambitions, and the town never grew to the envisioned size and status.
