Glowe is a municipality in the Vorpommern-Rügen district, in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany.

Glowe lies about 18 kilometres north of Bergen auf Rügen and is located at the western end of the boundary between the Jasmund peninsula and the narrow land bridge of Schaabe between the Baltic Sea (the bay of Tromper Wiek) and the lagoon of Großer Jasmunder Bodden.

The area was part of the Principality of Rügen until 1326 and thereafter the Duchy of Pomerania.

Under the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648, Rügen, and thus the territory of Glowe, became part of Swedish Pomerania.

As seaside resort tourism began to take off in the early 20th century, the former fishing village expanded more and more into the neighbouring woods of the Schaabewald.
