Hitler’s seaside resort to be converted into tourism hub
Investors are cashing in on the redevelop- ment of a beach resort originally built by the Third Reich as part of a Nazi vision for the future of tourism in Germany. The resort on the island of Rügen in the Baltic Sea was built in the run up to World War II and nicknamed the ‘Colossus of Prora’ due to its sheer size. Its eight iden- tical six-storey buildings stretch 2.8 miles (4.5km) along the coast. Construction slowed during the war and the blocks were eventually sold off to inde- pendent developers.

and spa. Other parts of the site will be transformed into luxury beachfront fl ats according to The Independent newspaper. Read more:
