A sign with the words "Nord Stream" stands in front of the gas receiving station of the Nord Stream 1 Baltic Sea pipeline and the transfer station of the OPAL long-distance gas pipeline (Ostsee-Pipeline-Anbindungsleitung - Baltic Sea Pipeline Link). The Nord Stream1 Baltic Sea pipeline, through which Russian natural gas has been flowing to Germany since 2011, ends in Lubmin near Greifswald. After the start of the war against Ukraine, Russia openly threatened for the first time to stop gas supplies through the Nord Stream 1 Baltic Sea pipeline.
