Abandonment of Damerow

When
February 1874
Where
Damerow (named locality; exact site not given in sources)
Part of
1872 Baltic Sea flood ravages the Baltic coast

The village of Damerow was abandoned following a subsequent flood in February 1874 that destroyed remaining structures.

After the initial 1872 flood, a further flood in February 1874 destroyed the remains of buildings in Damerow and left a layer of sand up to 60 cm thick, leading to the village's abandonment. The passages do not state Damerow's exact geographic position, so the site is recorded only as a named locality within the Baltic Sea region.
