Even though the Störtebeker Festival has only been performed annually since 1993, its origins can be traced back to 1959. In that year, the Rügen Festival was launched in Ralswiek as part of a cultural commission from the GDR.
For years, the Störtebeker Festival remained hidden. It was only since 1993 that the legend of the pirate Klaus Störtebeker, who sailed the Baltic Sea with his Vitalienbrüder at the end of the 14th century, has been told every year under its current name. Over the years, the Störtebeker Festival and its performances have developed into the most successful open-air theater in Germany and turned the small village of Ralswiek into a festival venue. On July 19, 2010, the festival welcomed its five millionth visitor. Around 4,600 spectators visit the Ralswiek open-air stage for each performance to experience the adventures of Klaus Störtebeker in a unique way.

Unfortunately the festival doesn't open for another 2 weeks, highly recommended 👍
We just got terribly wet back then, you would have to know in advance which day would be perfect 😂
