Bäderstilarchitektur - Baltic Sea style architecture



Sellin, a seaside resort on the Isle of Rügen, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.


The municipality is known for its famous style of Bäderstil / Baltic Sea style architecture.


Especially the main road Wilhelmstrasse is flanked by perfectly refurbished white timber cottages.


In the same style they built up again the Sellin pier.
The Sellin Pier at the Baltic Sea was re-built in 1998 in the shape of its historical pattern from the beginning of the twentieth century which had been destroyed several times. Now it is more beautifully than ever before.

Rügen - Koenigsstuhl



Koenigsstuhl chalk cliffs - Ruegen's famous steep coast
For the statisticians: The Königsstuhl has a total height of 118 meters above sea level.


Jasmund National Park is situated in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, in the far north-east of Germany. Its most spectacular feature is without doubt the Königsstuhl chalk cliffs, immortalised by the painter Caspar David Friedrich. 





struggle for survival - trees versus chalk - the dynamics of the coastal erosion typical for this region

As well as white chalk for writing, observant visitors can spot ice-age sediments and fossils on the beach. 


The firestone beach - millions of interesting stones to look for


One of my favourite sports on the firestone beach - stone stacking ;-)


...my masterpiece! ;-))
