Geology

The shape of the Jasmund cliff line at Lohme formed at the end of the last ice age about 12,000 years ago out when the mountain ranges Jasmunds stood out from the last time advancing in this area of the northern ice Rügerer foray season. The glacier stream penetrated in southwestern direction between today's peninsulas Wittow and Jasmund, prospected in today's cliff before Lohme along, but also outsourced from glacial till, after the rainy winter leads today to the slope instabilities mentioned below. In the period 8000-6000 years ago today, the sea level of the Baltic Sea has increased from below minus 20 m rapidly to its current level at. Since then finds the most powerful waves instead of a coastal erosion, which has led to the now encountered stone beach.

History

The territory of the municipality Lohme was already inhabited in the Neolithic period around 5500 years ago ( Funnel Beaker Culture ).

This is supported by megalithic tombs such as the Neolithic passage grave at Nipmerow on Magelowberg ( ⊙ 54.57311111111113.616305555556 ), in 1983 discovered during excavations of an alleged Bronze Age hill tomb, and the penny grave ( penny box, ⊙ 54.56888888888913.633611111111 ), which was first mentioned in 1745.

A Bronze Age settlement (1800-600 BC) is occupied by a large number of tumuli in Lohme and especially to Nipmerow around.

After that traces of human use find again only from the time of the Slavic settlement from 800 AD

The name is derived from Old Slavic Lohme word Lomu for breakage, wind break, Quarry.

The place was until 1325 part of the Principality of Rügen, which was under Danish suzerainty since 1168, and then part of the Duchy of Pomerania. With the Peace of Westphalia of 1648 complaints and thus the area of Lohme became a part of Swedish Pomerania. 1815 came Lohme as part of Neuvorpommern to the Prussian province of Pomerania.

From 1818 until September 4, 2011 Lohme belonged to the circle / district Rügen. Only from 1952 to 1955 it was the county mountains belong. The village belonged until 1990 to Rügen county in the district of Rostock and then became part of the newly formed state of Mecklenburg- Vorpommern.

Since 1884, Lohme was one of the spa and beach resorts that developed at this time on the island. Thereon a particularly positive influence had the expansion of the railway to Bergen on Rügen (1883 ) and on to Sassnitz (1891 ). It was a gentlemen's east of Swan stone built and a ladies' bath on the beach in the direction Blandow. These were stilt houses, the boarded up over wooden stairs a bath in the open sea permitted without strangers were thus " harassed ". A bathroom on a wide sandy beach was not yet in fashion and the proximity to the groves of Stubnitz and the unobstructed view to the opposite Cape Arkona Lohme made ​​so attractive that the 154 inhabitants harbored spa guests in 1600, for example, 1924.

In the night from 26 to 27 February 1900, the mail steamer " Rex" the king line was stranded on the way from Sweden Trelleborg to Sassnitz on the beach front at Blandow Lohme. Here, five women were drowned while attempting a boat, to bring them ashore and at 200 m from the shore to attach a lifeline. The ship broke up three days later in the surf.

From 1905 to 1999 then was the beacon Ranzow near Lohmes in operation. It flashed every five seconds from a height of 55 m up to 14 nautical miles. In 2002 it was dismantled and erected in 2004 as a technical monument at Cape Arkona.

One to now widely visible landmark Lohmes are the towers of the former coast radio station Rügen radio. The operation of this radio station began here in 1932 and ended in 1998, interrupted only by the post-war years of 1945 and 1949.

In 1997, the Port of Lohme was developed into a marina with 53 berths. Since 1997, the center will be renovated thoroughly in the context of urban development.

Escarpment demolition in 2005

On March 19, 2005 broke near the Lohmer harbor at around 100 m long and 200 m wide from the cliffs, which slid down to the underlying clay and marl layers around 100,000 m³ of earth towards the Baltic Sea. The Diakonia House of Lohme, a care home for addicts, which was right at the quarry edge, escaped while only reaching the disaster: The fracture edge was only 2.5 m in front of the house, after which the home along with a number of other buildings to the rim first was once locked.

After this blocking, except for the two bungalows and the Diakonia house itself, in May 2008 was reversed, The latter was demolished in May-June 2008 Help remotely controlled hydraulic pliers, because the earth would no longer be borne construction vehicles in the immediate vicinity of the building. As a result, hydrogeological investigations for further stability of the cliff were carried out in large parts of Lohme on the basis of in June 2009 again a use ban for six buildings on the steep slope of Lohme was pronounced.

The central problem of slope stability proved to be the name existing in spring in large quantities and by water- jamming soil layers on percolation hindered groundwater on which a slippage towards the Baltic Sea, the strata above the village.

To prevent further cliff demolition, was therefore planned in 2009 to 2010 by the State of Mecklenburg- Western Pomerania has a Hangfußentwässerung and realized that drains the groundwater by Horizontaldränagen from the aquifers of the steep slope in the Baltic Sea. The necessary building work required here in addition to the one-off for North German standards of technical complexity of Horizontaldränage also extensive logistical preparations, since the site so as not to burden the steep slope on, accessible only by sea was accessible and all materials and equipment by ship and the latter also had to be taken away again.

In the end, however, could be reduced by a total of 15 Horizontaldränagen 32-56 meters length of the groundwater level by 4.5 meters and thus the stability of the steep slope can be increased again considerably.

Humpback Whale

On the evening of August 3rd 2008, approximately 12 m long humpback whale was observed in front of the harbor of Lohme, who had strayed into the Baltic Sea. First sighted on July 25 at Cape Arkona, he was initially floated on to the Polish Baltic Sea coast in order to then draw on the way back to Lohme past in the Tromper Wiek.
