Grimmen turned into founded in the course of the Ostsiedlung, while about 1250 traders and craftsman from Lower Saxony, Westphalia and the Lower Rhine settled the site which then became a part of the Principality of Rugen. The first file bringing up Grimmens is of 1267.

In 1287, a document mentions Vogt Berthold taking office within the city, and similarly mentions that Grimmen had already been granted Lubeck regulation earlier than. The actual constitution is lost, as a consequence the exact date when the town obtained Lubeck law remains uncertain. Accordingly, the 700th anniversary changed into celebrated in 1987. Since 1325, Grimmen belonged to the Duchy of Pomerania. During the Thirty Years' War, the metropolis was looted several times. After the conflict, Grimmen became part of Swedish Pomerania, a dominion of the Swedish Empire.
