At 4.5 kilometers in length you will find here from the Nazi era planned and started building blocks of tourists, which are now completed by wealthy investors and should be used as a hotel, condominiums and holiday complex, It is already gigantic what arose there for a building.

The Prora Documentation Center is located in the complex of the planned "KdF Seaside Resort Rügen" in Prora, which became known as the "Colossus of Rügen". Prora is part of the Baltic Sea resort of Binz and is located on the Prorer Wiek, the most beautiful bay on the island of Rügen. The approximately 4.7 km long complex was built here on behalf of the "NS Community Strength Through Joy" between 1936 and 1939 and largely completed.
The complex is a listed building. Alongside the "Reich Party Rally Grounds" in Nuremberg, it is the largest closed architectural legacy of the National Socialist era. 20,000 people were supposed to vacation here at the same time. The "KdF Bath of the Twenty Thousand" is not only an interesting example of the use of modern architecture in National Socialism, but also an important social-historical testimony to the efforts of the Nazi regime to pacify the workers, whose parties and organizations had been crushed in 1933, and to win them over to the war, living space and racial policy. The "nerves of the people" were to be strengthened for the next war, an alleged quote from Hitler was surprisingly clearly spread in propaganda.
The NEW CULTURE Foundation opened the Prora Documentation Center in 2000 to close a gap in the memory landscape of the Federal Republic. In 2012, the Documentation Center Prora e.V. association, which emerged from a support group, took over the documentation center.
