KOLOSS VON PRORA

Deutschland, Rügen, 2022

In 1936-1939 by order of the “Strength through Joy” movement, a huge holiday home “Koloss von Prora” was built on the island of Rügen in Germany, which stretched along the Baltic Sea coast for 4500 m. In 1937, at the World Exhibition in Paris, the project received the Grand Prix.Since 1993, knowledge has been subject to destruction and vandalism.This building was an example of the architecture of the Third Reich and the social policies of the Nazi regime. Small rooms were supposed to accommodate 20 thousand vacationers.


Now there are hotels, hostels, cafes and restaurants here. There is a Center for Documentary Evidence of Prora.
