The place Prora was probably only created around 1800 by the von Putbus family. The origin of the settlement, which is located a bit away from the sea in the large forests near the Jasmunder Bodden, was a forester's house in the style of historicism, which was modeled on that of the Granitz hunting lodge. It was probably built between 1864 and 1867. The first known mention of the Prora forester's house is in 1867, with seven residents. The forester's house Prora is located directly on the B 196a, from Prora towards Karow, on the left hand side on the approx. 1,900 hectare property Prora / Stedar-Pulitz. At the time, the forester of Prince zu Putbus resided here. In GDR times it was the seat of the forest administration and until 1992 it still had tenants. The last resident is said to have been the district forester of Prora. Then the forester's house began to fall into disrepair. In the spring of 2009, the German Federal Environment Foundation took over the "Old Forester's House Prora" in order to build an environmental information center on the area of the former Prora military forest on the island of Rügen, which is now the Rügen Natural Heritage Center.

At the foot of the treetop walk lies the former Prora Forester's House and the newly created information center. Here, you'll find an experience-oriented exhibition area with permanent and temporary exhibitions that address and present the topics of natural heritage, flint fields, biological diversity, and the future of sustainability in an entertaining way.

The multimedia permanent exhibition covers the topics of "National Natural Heritage" and "Prora Natural Heritage Area."
