Classical columns, baroque putti, rococo tendrils, gothic towers, crenellations, wooden loggias, bay windows and Art Nouveau windows – what sounds like a congeries of different artistic styles is one of the most beautiful things the coastal region of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern has to offer: its Seaside Resort Architecture.

Created mainly in the second half of the 19th and in the early 20th century, it is among the most popular sights of the state. The often brilliant white buildings today once again house magnificently furnished hotels, cosy guest houses, shops, cafés and restaurants and attract thousands of visitors to the German Baltic coast each year.

In text and pictures, Reno Stutz and Thomas Grundner describe the buildings that owe their existence to resort life on the coast in all their number and variety, including assembly rooms and piers. Examples are the famous Ahlbeck pier on Usedom or the newly built one in neighbouring Heringsdorf; the premises of Prince Malte of Putbus in Lauterbach, the integral ensemble in the oldest German seaside resort of Heiligendamm or the consciously modest buildings in Boltenhagen and on the lakes.

”Bäderarchitektur” (”Seaside Resort Architecture”) – an illustrated book about an architectural phenomenon that contributes greatly to the charm of the coastal region of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
