  abstract  = {Although the Pleistocene deposits exposed in the steep coastal cliffs of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern have been studied for more than a century, the depositional conditions of many lithostratigraphic units remain unclear. There is, in particular, a question whether the individual tills (locally more than 9 successive till units) are mainly subglacial deposits or resedimented (mass flows) in origin (at least in part). The Pleistocene deposits preserve information concerning the former glacial depositional processes. Detailed micromorphological analysis of these deposits can provide key information regarding these processes and thereby aid in the reconstruction of former glacial environments. The island of R{\"u}gen is located on the southwestern Baltic Sea coast and was situated in the marginal zone of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet during the last glacial period (Weichselian). Therefore, the region is considered as an ideal area for reconstructing the complex fluctuations in the position of the margin of this ice sheet as it expanded across the Baltic Sea and into northern Germany. Successive glacial advances and retreats of the ice sheet can be reconstructed by specific glacial sedimentation processes and flow-direction criteria derived from a variety of glacial deposits. The investigation area is located near Sassnitz on R{\"u}gen, where an imbricated and folded Weichselian succession disconformably overlies Maastrichtian chalk bedrock. The individual till units were sampled for micromorphological analyses to identify the former depositional conditions. Detailed description of the sedimentology and variation in facies, the description of macroscale deformation structures provides the context for the detailed micromorphology study. The three dimensional analysis of the microfabrics is based on the microstructural mapping methodology which enables the identification and interpretation of polyphase deformation within subglacial sediments.},
