Das alte Usedom

Kaiser's favorite, Berlin's bathtub, a dream destination for hundreds of thousands - the island of Usedom has long become synonymous with relaxation. But what was it like there once? The photo book edited by Heiko Wartenberg brings together numerous historical images. These images vividly tell the story of the past and clearly show: there were already wide promenades between elegantly designed hotels and the expansive Baltic Sea beach, elegantly dressed strollers, and bathers in more or less sporty attire, intricately designed piers, and countless sandcastles. And - more than just a backdrop: there was already that landscape that continues to make the island so attractive today. Old Usedom - a volume that demonstrates with each of its over 150 photos how exciting the view back can be.
