The Pomeranian Goose (German: Pommerngans, French: L'oie de Pome'ranie), also known as the Rügener Goose, is a breed of domestic goose.
Although only an officially recognized breed since 1912, this fowl was developed by Northern German farmers of Pomerania as early as 1500. While it is popular as a market goose throughout Europe -- especially in Germany, Poland and in Slavic communities around the Baltic region -- today "there are few breeders of the Historical Pomeranian goose."
