Places to see in ( Cuxhaven - Germany )
Places to see in ( Cuxhaven - Germany )
Cuxhaven is a seaside town on Germany’s North Sea coast. Brightly colored shelters dot its sandy beach. The Kugelbake, a wooden navigational tower, stands at the mouth of the Elbe River. The UNESCO World Heritage Wadden Sea Visitor Centre Cuxhaven has a nature trail and exhibits on the area’s tidal flats and wildlife. The port is a gateway to the nearby tidal island of Neuwerk and the small Heligoland archipelago.
Until 1937, Cuxhaven was part of Hamburg; in a reorganization two towns near Hamburg that were part of Prussia were given to Hamburg in exchange for Cuxhaven. With 55000 citizens, Cuxhaven isn't a very large city. It still can boast roughly 3 million booked nights a year, making it one of the largest seaside resorts in Germany.
Tourism is one of the traditional businesses of Cuxhaven. The other two are the fish industry, and the harbour. The city is trying to expand the latter and has invested a lot of money in the modernization and expansion of the port facility. Still, the economic situation isn't all too good and tourism remains the major industry of the city. Many people have left Cuxhaven in the past decades to settle elsewhere. Many of those who remain are retired, contributing to the small, quiet town ambiance.
Near Cuxhaven, between 1945 and 1964 about 500 rockets were launched. The best known rocket launches which took place in the area of Cuxhaven, were the launches of three V2 rockets in the operation Backfire, in order to demonstrate Allied forces the technique of the wonder weapon V2 in October 1945. The only thing remembering to rocketry at Cuxhaven is a trough near the way from Arensch to Sahlenburg.
Cuxhaven is a quiet place. If you're looking for action and parties, it's probably not the right destination. If you're looking for a quiet city by the sea, Cuxhaven becomes a much more interesting choice. Most people come to Cuxhaven either via train or car. Some ferry services exist, but they are overall negligible.

Island Usedom under Summer Clouds
Usedom represents the second largest island of Germany and is located in the southwestern Baltic Sea. The Border between Germany and Poland runs along the island, dividing it into a bigger German part (373 km²) and a much smaller polish part (72 km²).
The Peenestrom (a gut) and the Stettin Lagoon separate Usedom from the mainland.
The island is famous for its kilometer long sandy beaches. Additionally the area has the greatest number of sunny days within whole Germany. Due to these georgaphic and climatic conditions, Usedom looks back to a longer history of bath tourism.
In Prussian times, the island developed into a resort. This was supported by the fact that in 1825 the villages Swinemünde and Heringsdorf were modified into bathing-beach-areas.
But the major times of the great seaside resorts finally began in 1871 after the foundation of the Deutsches Reich (German Reich, nation state).
During the Nazi-Regime the island became famous for its Army Research Center in Peenemünde. There the V-2 was produced.
This was the reason for a remarkable air attack by the Royal Air Force and the United States Army Air Forces against Swinemünde in 12 March 1945. Many people (civilians) died.
Today Usedom is a bathing resort and popular Germany wide. But the island offers much more than only beautiful beaches and sunny days. There are 12 nature reserve areas existing, which already in times of the GDR became protected zones (NSG and LSG).
One of them is located at the top of the Peenemünder Peninsula (Peenemünder Haken, Struck and Ruden). I unfortunately could not reach this Nature Reserve, but most of the nature footage was captured along the Peenemünder Peninsula between Zinnowitz, Trassenheide and Karlshagen.
The historic bridge of Ahlbeck is the oldest pier of Germany and was constructed in 1882 and upgraded 1898, 1905 and in the 1930th. It's well visible to in my footage too.
Prora, The Massive Nazi Resort Complex with 10000 Bedroom
Prora, The Massive Nazi Resort Complex with 10,000 Bedroom
Prora the concrete complex is extend over a length of 4.5 km or 2.8 miles long and stretches like a ribbon along the beautiful sandy beaches of the East German, Ruegen Island. It is especially known for its colossal Nazi-planned tourist structures, in fact, the mega-resorts complex is six stories high, with a usable area of 185,000 square meters and 10,000 rooms, all are sea facing. Approx 150 meter from the beach and although they were planned as a holiday resort by the infamous Adolf Hitler, they were never used for this purpose. The complex has a formal heritage listing as a particularly striking example of Third Reich architecture. This massive building complex was began to construct in between 1936 and 1939 as a Strength Through Joy Kraft durch Freude or KdF Seebad Prora project and originally envisioned by Nazi politician Robert Ley. During the few years that Prora was under construction, all major construction companies of the Reich and nearly 9,000 workers were involved in this project. The onset of World War II in 1939, building on Prora stopped and the construction workers transferred to the V-Weapons plant at Peenemünde.
The hotel would be operational in the summer of 1940, but in 1939 when World War II broke out, the construction was halted immediately. Only the hotel blocks, the theater and the quay were at that time in carcass ready. Prora was never used for the purpose for which it was designed. During the war, parts of the complex used as a military hospital, an SS training school and, when the war was nearing its end, an inn for Germans whose homes were destroyed by the Allies.
In 1945 the Soviet Army took control of the region and established a military base at Prora. The Soviet Army's 2nd Artillery Brigade occupied block 5 of Prora from 1945 to 1955. In the late 1940s two of the housing blocks - one on the North and one on the South - were demolished and the remains mostly removed.
Hitler’s plans for Prora were ambitious. He wanted a gigantic sea resort, the “most mighty and large one to ever have existed”, holding 20,000 beds. In the middle, a massive building was to be erected. At the same time, Hitler wanted it to be convertible into a military hospital in case of war. Hitler insisted that the plans of a massive indoor arena by architect Erich Putlitz be included. Putlitz’s Festival Hall was intended to be able to accommodate all 20,000 guests at the same time. His plans included two wave-swimming pools, a cinema and a theatre. A large dock for passenger ships was also planned.
In the late 1950s the East German military rebuilt several of the buildings. Since the buildings had been stripped to the bare brick in the late 1940s, most of the exterior and interior finish that can be seen today was done under East German control. After the formation of the German Democratic Republic's (GDR's) National Peoples Army in 1956, the buildings became a restricted military area housing several East German Army units. The most prominent were the elite 40. After German reunification, the National People's Army of the GDR was absorbed into the West Germany Bundeswehr, that took over the building. Initially consideration was given to demolishing the buildings, but it was later given landmark protection and a tax break offered to developers to renovate it. Parts of the building were used from 1990 to 1992 by the Military Technical School of the Bundeswehr. From 1992 to 1994 a part of the building was used to house asylum seekers from the Balkans.
Today, Prora still stands mostly empty. Some of the rooms are used as gallery space, while another section houses a small museum devoted to the site, and most successfully, a portion houses Germany's largest youth hostel. Most recently it seems that there are attempts being made to turn some of Prora into luxury condos. Turning Hitler's vacation rooms for the common man into homes for the wealthy may be the best way to make sure Prora is purged of its checkered beginnings.
