Görmitz belongs to the parish of Lütow in the Amt of Am Peenestrom. In the south of the island there is an inhabited farm, the remains of a holiday home and a beacon.
In the 1960s Görmitz was linked to Usedom near the village of Neuendorf by an embankment. Its construction was connected with oil extraction in Lütow; oil was also extracted on Görmitz in the 1970s and 1980s.
At the end of 2016 the controversial dismantling of the causeway was agreed.[1]
