Tribsees (German pronunciation: [ˈtʁiːp.zeːs] ⓘ) is a municipality in the Vorpommern-Rügen district, in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, in north-eastern Germany.

The Tribusses territory was mentioned in 1136, and the castle was incorporated by Pope Innocent II into the newly formed Bishopric of Wolin in 1140.

[3] It formed part of the Duchy of Pomerania, and around 1184 it passed to the Slavic Principality of Rügen, a vassal of Denmark.

[2] An agreement between the city council of Stralsund and that of Tribsees exists from 1267, and in 1285 the town was granted Lübeck law by Prince Vitslav II.

[6] In the final months of World War II, in 1945, the town surrendered without a fight to Soviet troops.

The elaborate altarpiece contains 67 sculpted wooden figures, painted and covered with gold leaf.
