The aristocratic family of Putbus is of Slavic origin and a collateral line of the Rügen princely house. It is descended from Stoislav, who was documented in 1193 and was probably a close relative of Prince Jaromar I - perhaps a brother. To begin with the lords of Putbus had the same territorial status as the Rügen princes, but later became their vassals. Their original possessions were near Vilmnitz (today in the borough of Putbus) on the island of Rügen and near Brandshagen. The name Putbus first appeared in 1286 and was adopted by all members of the family in the mid-14th century.

The family continued to hold lordship in some parts of Rügen, actually until the communist takeover after World War II.

In early modern epoch, lords of Pedebuz became recognized as barons.

In 1672, they were created counts of Holy Roman Empire and in Sweden.

In 1807 they were created princes (Fürsten) by king Gustav IV Adolf of Sweden.

When the original male line became extinct in 1854, the lordship and the titles were inherited by progeny of daughters (see Wilhelm Malte I: Progeny).

The Communists in East Germany confiscated the estate and destroyed the castle.

The present-day heir is Malte, prince of Putbus (b. 1964).
