Summary/Abstract: Health care in Szczecin in the years 1945–1946 in a culminating way illustrating with its ruined landscape sanitary problems of West Pomerania can be taken for a epitome of the post-war overall Pomeranian situation. Both the length of the World War Two and its repercussions were to thoroughly revise many spheres in the life of the inhabitants of Szczecin and Pomerania, including the German population, and finally they brought about a loss of the illusion of living in a little homeland, a ‘back country’ (German: Hinterland), which seemed not to be threatened with an attack of foreign troops. Death of hundreds of thousands of people and the annihilation in the industry, economy and culture of the region and its capital were just a sort of sad accompaniment for the general health of the society in Pomerania of the time.
