The district seat is the University and Hanseatic City of Greifswald.{{cite web|url=http://www.mv-regierung.de/im/verwaltungsreform/|title=Mecklenburg-Vorpommern government reform|access-date=5 September 2011}} A lake called Berliner See is found in the district.

History

Vorpommern-Greifswald District was established by merging the former districts of Ostvorpommern and Uecker-Randow; along with the subdivisions of Jarmen-Tutow and Peenetal/Loitz (from the former district of Demmin), and the former district-free town Greifswald, as part of the local government reform of September 2011. The name of the district was decided by referendum on 4 September 2011.{{cite web|url=http://service.mvnet.de/cgi-bin/wahlen/2011_kom_land/wahl2011_anz.pl?Kreisnamenentscheid_75.htm|title=Referendum results Mittleres Mecklenburg|access-date=5 September 2011}} The project name for the district was Südvorpommern.
