Abstract
Abstract. This paper aims to combine the knowledge of more than 100 years of Quaternary research in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (Geinitz, 1922; Deecke, 1907; Schulz, 1967, 1971; von Bülow, 2000; Rühberg et al., 1995; Müller et al., 1995; Katzung, 2004; Kenzler et al., 2015, 2018) including a summary of the areas of specific interest, a general overview of the most recent scientific results and of the ongoing investigations presented during the Field Symposium of the INQUA PeriBaltic Working Group 2019.

The early Pomeranian advance (W2FP) pushed locally more southward as the “Pomeranian main advance” (W2P, Fig. 2), whereas the main Pomeranian advance formed pronounced end moraines, representing the main watershed between the catchment area draining into the Baltic Sea and the Elbe river catchment area flowing into the North Sea
The most important gravel and sand resources of MWP are related to the large proglacial outwash plain of the Pomeranian sandur areas
Summary
New luminescence ages for sandur deposits genetically related to the Brandenburgian ice marginal position (Lüthgens et al, 2010a, b, 2011) raised the possibility of a two-folded LGM in NE Germany (Lüthgens et al, 2011; Hardt et al, 2016), casting doubt on the traditional interpretations of the main Weichselian ice advances in this area. We still only have limited knowledge about the depositional environments and processes, the oscillation of the SIS during the LGM and early Late Glacial, and especially the deglaciation sequence of NE Germany between 25 and 14 ka, which has only been locally dated.
