Alt Tellin is a municipality in the Vorpommern-Greifswald district, in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany.
Originally named Siedenbüssow, the region has long been associated with the porcine trade. The region is primarily characterized by farms. Its name was changed to Alt Tellin on January 1, 1951. The word "Bussow" derives from Burgh, meaning "hill." In 2021, it was the site of a large fire at a pig farm where 55,000 pigs are believed to have died.[2]
