History

Grömitz is already since 1813 and one of the oldest seaside resort on the Baltic Sea. The place offers except the church from the 12th century, no historical sites, which are still visible recognizable.

The place name Grömitz evolved from the westslavischen name of a stream. The small town Grömitz played at the time of Christianization an important role - Groebeniz ( so called Grömitz at the time ) was a fortified with a rampart village, of which today there is nothing left ( the attachment was mostly made ​​of wood). Later, the weir was moved to Oldenburg in Holstein. Unlike Grömitz still remnants of this rampart can be seen there today. An existing in Oldenburg Museum provides an overview of the former importance.

Church

As part of the proselytizing of the Wends in 1230 the Nicholas of Myra consecrated church was built. 1259 it is mentioned in the list of the bishopric of Lübeck belonging to churches for the first time. At this time Grömitz belonged to the Knights of Westensee which it sold in 1323 to the Benedictine monastery Cismar. While single-aisled rectangular nave and the box-shaped choir were built in the 13th century from boulders, the massive tower was added in brick in the 15th century, when Grömitz had received city rights.
