Abotrites

The Abotrites were a Slavic people who lived in the Baltic coastal region of present-day Germany, between Lübeck and Rügen, during the twelfth century C.E.

During the Northern Crusades the heathen Abotrites were defeated and forced to convert to Christianity by their German neighbors, and were absorbed into the German nation.
