    The Monumental Project of National Socialism Kraft durch Freude was never realized because of the Second World War. Only the shell was finished by 1939. After the war, the northern part of the colossus was blown up over a length of 2 km by the Soviet army and only badly damaged.

        Even though a large part has already been renovated, there are still many old buildings in Prora and old ruins in the forest

          Located directly on the Baltic Sea coast in the center of the Prorer Wiek and emerged from the KdF seaside resort of Rügen, which was built between 1936 and 1939 but remained unfinished. In the complex, the organization Kraft durch Freude (KdF) should be able to vacation 20,000 people at the same time. The start of World War II in 1939 prevented completion as a seaside resort. Instead, Prora became a barracks for the National People's Army (NVA) and was inseparably linked to the development of the GDR - from the covert rearmament since 1949 to the peaceful revolution in 1989.

                A place that always reminds me of the old days. I hope it will remind us for a long time that things used to be different in Germany.
