Pommern is an Ortsgemeinde – a municipality belonging to a Verbandsgemeinde, a kind of collective municipality – in the Cochem-Zell district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Cochem.

The municipality lies on the river Moselle’s left bank roughly 2 km upstream from Treis-Karden.

In 936, the municipality had its first documentary mention as Ponieries villa in a document from Otto I. In a despised act of the gift of Bishop Chrodegang of Metz in 745 in favor of the monastery of Gorze, he gave "753 to Pomaria" (75R) to the Pomeranians (MRR 1,2140). This property was confirmed in 936 and 944 by Otto I of the Abbey of Gorze (MRR I, 892 and 917). In 1107 the monastery of St. Trond also had a property in Pomerania; In the 13th century it was one of the largest landowners in Pomerania (MRR I, 1612). This property was purchased in 1264 by Himmerod Abbey (MRR III, 19555), Beginning in 1264, Himmerod Abbey was the biggest landholder in the village. Previously Arnold von Braunshorn had given 1234 "in Pumere" to the monastery Himmerod a vineyard; The St. Kunibert Abbey sold to Himmerod 1252 estates, in 1256 a Trier domicile (MRUB III, 499,1553 and 1347) was founded. The Abbey of Himmerod in Pomerania maintained its own High Court, which still belonged to the Monastery of St. Trond (LHAKO 1 C 15601). Pomerania was named after Pomerania. In 1312, Kurtrier gave the "Castrum sive domum in Pumere" to the Wilhelm named Walpode of Pomerania (LHAKo lA 4467). In 1330, Winand was called Bock of Pomerania with the "turris" to Pomerania (LHAKo 1 C 2, No. 616). Gender is not named after 1376. Beginning in 1794, Pommern lay under French rule, and Himmerod Abbey was dissolved in 1802. In 1815 Pommern was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia at the Congress of Vienna. Since 1946, it has been part of the then newly founded state of Rhineland-Palatinate.
