'''Brandshagen''' is a village and a former municipality in the [[Vorpommern-Rügen]] district, in [[Mecklenburg-Vorpommern]], [[Germany]]. It is located on the Pomeranian mainland opposite the island of [[Rügen]].
It was named after ''Borante'', an early member of the [[House of Putbus]], who built a [[motte-and-bailey castle]] in the 13th century which has been proved by excavations. ''Hag(en)'' is an old word for an area enclosed or fenced in by a hedge  (like ''[[The Hague]]'').
Since 7 June 2009, it is part of the [[Sundhagen]] municipality.
