While on a spring vacation in the north-east of Germany the “Colossus of Rügen” in Prora was a given stop. The calmness of the pre-season seaside fit well with the quiet massiveness of the almost endless housing blocks. It was a great day.
The Prora KdF was intended as a seaside resort for up to 20,000 people – mainly workers and their families – by the organisation “Kraft durch Freude”. The many kilometres long buildings lining the water of the Prorer Wiek were constructed between 1936 and 1939 but was never finished.
