Permin

The Permin is a bay of the Saal Bodden south of Wustrow. Originally Permin was a stream of water between the Saal Bodden and the Baltic Sea and was considered the southern mouth of the river Recknitz. He limited the fish land to the south.

Since the Permin in the 13th and 14th centuries was navigable by 2 to 3 meters in average water depths, he was an important waterway for trade of the city Ribnitz and Barth. The patency was often affected by the storm and silting. Although the Permin only for smaller vessels was passable and was primarily used by the population regionally based with small, open boats for trading voyages, the Hanse looked affects their trading privileges. End of the 14th century also trading in the Baltic Sea was considerably disturbed by the Vitali brothers who at times by the dukes of Mecklenburg and Pomerania Duke Barnim VI. were supported. The brothers Vitali took advantage of the Permin and the loop at Ahrenshoop to ride in the lagoons that served as a retreat from their privateering. The Hanseatic League was in 1395 sinking three ships in the Permin, causing the silting of the passage was accelerated and the navigability ended. What Hanseatic cities conducted this action is not known with certainty, however, are due to their proximity Stralsund and Rostock as probable.

1872 originated in a storm flood in the area of ​​a tidal creek Permin of 15 meters wide and 5 meters deep. For the connection to the mainland, a temporary bridge had to be built.
