Prerow is a village. Location: Landkreis Vorpommern-Rügen, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Population: 1,269. Elevation: -3 m.

From Wikipedia

Prerow (German pronunciation: [ˈpʁeːʁoː]) is a municipality in the district of Vorpommern-Rügen in the German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. This Baltic seaside resort on the Darß peninsula is located about halfway between the historic Hanseatic towns of Rostock and Stralsund. It is one of three main settlements on the Darß, the others being the villages of Born and Wieck. Prerow has fine, sandy beaches and a picturesque landscape. It is hard to say where the forest ends and the village begins.
