'''Reinberg''' is a village and a parish of the municipality of [Sundhagen](/source/Sundhagen). It lies between [Stralsund](/source/Stralsund) and [Greifswald](/source/Greifswald) on the {{ill|Bundesstraße 105|lt=B 105|de|Bundesstraße 105}} federal road in northeastern Germany. To the north the former municipality of Reinberg borders on the [Strelasund](/source/Strelasund). From the village of Stahlbrode that used to belong to it, there is a car ferry to the island of [Rügen](/source/R%C3%BCgen) ([Zudar](/source/Zudar) peninsula).

== History ==
In 1220, construction began on the church, and in 1325 Reinberg was mentioned for the first time in the records.

On the dissolution of the [Principality of Rügen](/source/Principality_of_R%C3%BCgen) in 1325, the village transferred to the [Duchy of Pomerania](/source/Duchy_of_Pomerania).

From the end of the [Thirty Years' War](/source/Thirty_Years'_War) to the year 1815, the region belonged to [Swedish Pomerania](/source/Swedish_Pomerania) and thereafter to the Prussian [Province of Pomerania](/source/Province_of_Pomerania_(1815%E2%80%931945)).

Until 1952, Reinberg was part of the district of [Grimmen](/source/Grimmen) within the ''Bezirk'' of [Rostock](/source/Bezirk_Rostock) to 1994. Since 1990 it has also bee part of the state of [Mecklenburg-Vorpommern](/source/Mecklenburg-Vorpommern).

On 7 June 2009, the hitherto independent municipality of Reinsberg merged with those of [Behnkendorf](/source/Behnkendorf), [Brandshagen](/source/Brandshagen), [Horst](/source/Horst_(Sundhagen)), [Kirchdorf](/source/Kirchdorf_(Sundhagen)), [Miltzow](/source/Miltzow) and [Wilmshagen](/source/Wilmshagen_(Sundhagen)) to form the new municipality of Sundhagen.<ref>[https://www.destatis.de/DE/Themen/Laender-Regionen/Regionales/Gemeindeverzeichnis/Namens-Grenz-Aenderung/2009-januar-dezmber.html Gebietsänderungen vom 02. Januar bis 31. Dezember 2009], [Statistisches Bundesamt](/source/Statistisches_Bundesamt)</ref> The former municipality consists of the villages of Oberhinrichshagen, Falkenhagen, Dömitzow and Stahlbrode.

== Sights ==
Amongst the sights of Reinberg are its Gothic [village church](/source/Reinberg_Village_Church), the [murder stone](/source/murder_stone) monument on the cemetery wall that dates to the 15th century, and the [Reinberg Lime](/source/Reinberg_Lime), which was the largest tree in Germany in the 19th century. The age of the tree is around 1,000 years. It is possible that the lime had been planted before the foundation and consecration of the church. Near the tree is the grave of the father of surgeons, [Theodor Billroth](/source/Theodor_Billroth).

The murder stone has a kneeling figure with hands clasped, next to [Christ](/source/Christ) on the cross. Above the cross, between two roses, are the initials "J.N.R.J." and the words: "''domini miserere mei''". The weathered inscription above the crucified Jesus probably originally ran: "''orate pro ravno van barneko''".<ref>E. v. Haselberg: Baudenkmäler des Regierungsbezirks Stralsund, Kreis Franzburg, Hrsg. Gesellschaft für Pommersche Geschichte und Alterthumskunde, Paul Saunier Stettin 1881, p.238</ref> It may also be read as "''orate pro heyno van der beken''", however there is no record of a van der Beken family. The princely councillor and ''[Landvogt](/source/Vogt)'', Raven Barnekow, however, was sentenced to death and executed in Stralsund in 1453 as a result of false allegations.<ref>Julius von Bohlen-Bohlendorf: ''Der Bischofs-Roggen und die Güter des Bisthums Roeskild auf Rügen im erblichen Besitz der Barnekow und Umriß der Geschichte dieses adlichen, freigerrlichen und gräflichen Geshlechts.'' E. Hingst Stralsund 1850, p. 175ff</ref> This suggests this expiatory cross (''Sühnekreuz'') was erected in his memory.
