Beach people in Prora, Ruegen
Prora on Ruegen, Germany largest island, offers fantastic beaches and much more. The visitors will have to pass the ruins of the Prora buildings which were planned in 1933 in Germany as a part of Hitler´s KdF program. With a capacity for 20000 people they were never completed and still stretch out for 4.5 kilometers.
We were stunned by the monstrous architecture.

Beach people in Binz, Ruegen island
The baltic sea resort Binz is located on the southeastern part of Ruegen. First mentioned in the 14th century as a fishermen´s village it is nowadays the largest beach resort. In the 1980s the beach was frequented by nudists. Now manners have changed a lot.

We were on a sailing trip around Ruegen and visited many interesting places on this island.
I sketched the people as they were passing by. In the background the white cliffs of Ruegen are visible.
My recommendation for reading:
In the beginning of the 20th century the New Zealand born writer Elizabeth von Arnim wrote her famous book " The Adventures of Elizabeth in Rugen". first published in 1904 by Macmillan. 216.74.34.10/book/show/1395206.The_Adventures_of_Elizabet...

Southern Lighthouse, Hiddensee 2010
The Suederleuchtturm in the southern part of the island Hiddensee was built in 1905 to help navigators coming from Stralsund to find their way. Three differently colored sectors in green, white and red give guidance. In the beginning of the 20th Century the famous writer Gerhart Hauptmann and many other artists were attracted to this part of the world.
We were there for two nights on our sailing boat trip around Rugen. No cars, only bicycles allowed. Just wonderful.
Wismar, Market place 2010
Renovated houses at the Wismar market.
End of June 2010 we were travelling along the Baltic coast of Germany to Wismar and further on to Stralsund. This sketch I made at 10 pm while waiting for a cool beer next to the famous restaurant Alter Schwede. This part of Germany was once occupied by Sweden.
Timmendorf, Baltic sea 2010
A couple of young students were watching the sun set on this beautiful beach spot. The island of Poel is just next to the city of Wismar, also an old Hanse town.
What impressed me the most is that in the age of ipod and iphone the guitar seems to be still the number one.
Stralsund, city view
Stralsund, city view from the marina. It was at 10 p.m. at night and I could hardly see the archtecture.
