Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, often officially translated as Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, is a
state in
northern Germany. It comprises two parts,
Mecklenburg and
Vorpommern. Its capital is
Schwerin. Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is among the least densely populated and least industrial
German states, being the sixth largest in size, but only 14th in population. The
Baltic Sea coastline and its islands (such as
Rügen), the cities, as well as the
Mecklenburg Lake District are very popular with tourists, making the state one of Germany's leading tourist destinations. Moreover, the universities of
Greifswald (est. 1456) and
Rostock (est. 1419) are amongst the oldest in Germany and, indeed,
northern Europe.
