The language mostly spoken on Rügen is German, but most people speak some English, although perhaps fewer than in other parts of Germany. The island was for more than 40 years part of East Germany, when the first foreign language taught in schools was Russian.

The historical Gutshaus Grubnow could be traced back to 1836. The original buildings were altered significantly during the centuries. Today, the "Gutsanlage" is embossed by the Gutshaus Grubnow that was build around 1920 for the son of Knighthood Erich Kroos who previously lived at neighbouring Gut Lebbin. The Gutshaus and the building "Remise" are the only two remaining buildings from this formerly extended property.

Rügen is an island, which you can tell when you walk into a restaurant. Seafood is omnipresent and usually very fresh. Try a fischbrötchen, a sliced bread roll filled with smoked or pickled herring and vegetables. The Germans are crazy about asparagus, so during season, do not miss out.
