Ruins of the Prora KdF complex

Highlight • Historical Site

The size of this former holiday property alone is impressive enough. After its (re-)use by the GDR holiday authorities, it has finally found another useful use. A suitable clientele has now been attracted, which is probably also in the interests of the town of Binz. I hope that the last buildings will also find a use.

Prora — Abandoned Buildings

Highlight • Historical Site

The part that is really dilapidated is in the far north.
Prora is a bit confusing for the first time visitor. Here is a little orientation
The hostel is the northern start of the building. Shortly behind it comes the Museum Prora Center.
prora-zentrum.de In the museum there is information about the history and also guided tours
This is followed by a section with unused parts of the building and partially used areas.
This is followed by a first block that is turned into apartments.
This ends the first building complex.
You now come in the middle, clearly recognizable by the one realized central wing with the blue semicircular building. Here is the Documentation Center Prora.
proradok.de
Again, there are exhibitions and guided tours. I personally liked that very much (6 € admission)
From here it is bizarre, now you come to the "New Prora" dust gives way asphalt, wheels soft Porsche Cayenne and BMW X5. This is crowned by the luxury hotel in the middle of the building.
Sounds critical? Yes, but it is precisely because of these contrasts a visit that I can recommend. With this orientation, you can choose what you want to see.

Binz–Prora Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

There are very good cycle paths on the island of Rügen and some should be ridden with caution.

Prora Architectural Complex

Highlight • Monument

Meanwhile, the "Prora Documentation Center" of the New Culture Foundation provides political background information and shows the use of Prora from 1936 to the present day.
In 2008, the opening of a high ropes course was celebrated on the coastal forest area of the complex. In 2011, a long-planned youth hostel was completed in the northern part of the complex. With one exception, the Federal Agency for Real Estate has now sold all of the building blocks to private investors. Luxury apartments and a hotel are to be built here.

Lake Schmachter

Highlight • Lake

And yet a beach holiday in Binz is much more than just enjoying the Baltic Sea with a view of the chalk cliffs.

Cycle path between Prora and Binz

Highlight • Cycleway

Fast connection from Prora to Binz and back, as unfortunately you are not allowed to legally drive along the promenade ...

Prora Building Complex

Highlight • Historical Site

They may be “old architectural sins”, but they are currently being extensively renovated and some of the results are quite impressive
