History

Glowe was first documented in 1314. The name "Glowe" comes from the Slavic Gluowa or Glova and means something like "head", named after the 9-metre-high Königshörn, a small headland. The small parish grew up on and around the Königshörn.

The area was part of the Principality of Rügen until 1326 and thereafter the Duchy of Pomerania. Under the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648, Rügen, and thus the territory of Glowe, became part of Swedish Pomerania. In 1815, Glowe went, as part of New Western Pomerania, to the Prussian province of Pomerania. Since 1818, Glowe has been part of the county of Rügen.

As seaside resort tourism began to take off in the early 20th century, the former fishing village expanded more and more into the neighbouring woods of the Schaabewald.

From 1952 to 1955 Glowe was part of the county of Bergen. Thereafter the village became part of the county of Rügen again, this time in the district of Rostock until 1990, when it became part of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. In 2011 the county of Rügen was merged into Vorpommern-Rügen.
