Palmer Ort

The Palmer Ort is the southernmost point of the German Baltic Sea island of Rügen and its peninsula of Zudar.

Through it runs a woodland path to the Palmer Ort, part of which is laid out as a nature trail, "Know Your World" (Erkenne Deine Welt).

An invasion fleet of 500 ships from Prussia, Denmark and Saxony sailed towards Palmer Ort on 11 November 1715.

A few days later, however, much of the fleet put off to the northeast in the fog, unnoticed by the Swedes, and landed unscathed at Groß Stresow.

In 1968 a buoy tender belonging to the East German navy, the Volksmarine, was given the name of Palmer Ort.
