Grubenhagen Castle (German: Burg Grubenhagen) is the ruin of a lowland castle in Schloß Grubenhagen, a village in the civil parish of Vollrathsruhe in the county of Mecklenburgische Seenplatte in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in Germany. Only a few structural remains of the castle have survived, mainly comprising the 10-metre-high wall remains of the erstwhile bergfried with a wall thickness of 3.3 metres and made of fieldstone and brick. The rest of the site can largely be deduced on the spot above its geological base. To the northwest was the circular inner ward which had a somewhat lower, roughly rectangular outer ward to the southeast. The whole site was surrounded by a wide, water-filled moat which has survived in places. The castle was built in the 13th century by the von Grube family and extended until the 15th century. The later lords of the castle were the von Maltzan family, who built an estate north of the castle, which the castle, now a manor house, sold off in the 19th century.

Mecklenburg-Vorpommern

Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (MV; German: [ˌmeːklənbʊʁkˈfoːɐ̯pɔmɐn] or [ˌmɛk-] ; Low German: Mäkelborg-Vörpommern; Polabian: Pomoré); also known by its anglicized name Mecklenburg–Western Pomerania, is a state in the north-east of Germany. Of the country's sixteen states, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern ranks 14th in population; it covers an area of 23,213 km2 (8,963 sq mi), making it the sixth largest German state in area; and it is 16th in population density. Schwerin is the state capital and Rostock is the largest city. Other major cities include Neubrandenburg, Stralsund, Greifswald, Wismar, and Güstrow. It was named after the two regions of Mecklenburg and Vorpommern, and its name means the "nearer part of Pomerania", with the rest now lying in Poland.The state was established in 1945 after World War II through the merger of the historic regions of Mecklenburg and Prussian Western Pomerania by the Soviet military administration in Allied-occupied Germany. It became part of the German Democratic Republic in 1949, but was dissolved in 1952 during administrative reforms and its territory divided into the districts of Rostock, Schwerin, and Neubrandenburg. A state called in German Mecklenburg-Vorpommern was re-established in 1990 following German reunification and became one of the new states of the Federal Republic of Germany.On the state's coastline on the Baltic Sea are many holiday resorts and much unspoilt nature, including the islands of Rügen, Usedom, and others, as well as the Mecklenburg Lake District, making the state one of Germany's leading tourist destinations. Three of Germany's fourteen national parks, as well as several hundred nature conservation areas, are in the state. The University of Rostock, founded in 1419, and the University of Greifswald, established in 1456, are among the oldest universities in Europe. In 2007, the 33rd G8 summit took place at the Grand Hotel Heiligendamm on the Mecklenburg Baltic coast during the chancellorship of Angela Merkel, who represented various constituencies of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in the national legislature, the Bundestag.
