The Große Werder was inhabited until the first half of the 20th century. Due to the solitary location of its only farmstead, the island was also given the nickname Ostsee-Hallig ("Baltic Sea Hallig" – a hallig being a desolate, marshy, North Sea island off the Jutland coast). Today the island is part of the municipality of Groß Mohrdorf and is a nature reserve belonging to the West Pomeranian Lagoon Area National Park. South of the island is the Grabow bodden and to the north lies the Baltic Sea. As a result of increasing siltation of the inlet at the eastern tip of the Zingst, the Große Werder became a peninsula (as at summer 2006). This phenomenon occurred in the 1970s and 1980s and, as a result, depending on the date and the base material used, the peninsula may either appear as a peninsula or an island.
