Stubber

The Great or Große Stubber is a stony sandbank that dries out at low water located in the eastern part of the German Baltic Sea lagoon known as the Greifswalder Bodden or Bay of Greifswald. In the Middle Ages the Stubber was an island that became steadily smaller as a result of tree-felling and the excavation of stones. In the 19th century, gravel was extracted for the construction of roads in Greifswald. It first became awash in the first half of the 20th century. The large glacial erratics that remain to this day are a hazard for sports boats. The Stubber is marked with a shallow water buoy. Since 2006 the Round the Stubber (Rund Stubber) regatta has been held annually in mid-August.
