Contemporary witness series

Each film documents the exciting and multifaceted history of the imperial baths in its own way. Some videos are commented on by historians and experts - in others we let the images and music alone do the talking. But what all clips have in common: They are intended to give you an entertaining insight into the history of Ahlbeck, Heringsdorf and Bansin and inspire you to go on a discovery tour yourself, for example on the new one Kaiserbäder adventure trail.

A big thank you to the creative agency C4 around Alicia Bühler, Studio Regenbogen around Martin Bolik and everyone involved!

“Only he is free […] who is allowed to carry out his duties on the endless expanses of the sea, even if it is heavy.” This is what it says in the book “The Fisherman of Usedom” by Rosa Maria Barth, published in 1937. And 85 years later, the then 16-year-old Nils Krüger, an aspiring fish farmer for coastal and deep-sea fishing, says: “I don't want to do anything differently. Being on the sea is freedom for me…”

Here in the Kaiserbäder, at the oldest location still producing beach chairs, we are proud of our typical beach furniture. We come up with a lot of ideas for this: from the XXL mega beach chair with three seating levels to the world championships in the beach chair sprint. Even a luxury beach chair “Pompöös” was built in Heringsdorf and personally approved by Harald Glööckler.

With their columns and bay windows, turrets and balustrades, stucco decorations and outside staircases, representative buildings like the Bleichröder Residence are reminiscent of times long past. The imagination of the Berlin aristocracy and elite at the time of the last German Emperor probably did somersaults when they designed the magnificent villas. Whether it's a classicist summer residence, an Art Nouveau mansion or a baroque fairytale castle. They are all witnesses to a historical era that has become a cultural heritage for the imperial baths.
