Guided tour with Dr Angela Pfennig | Meeting point: Stralsund | Kurhaus Devin| Participation: 9 euros

From the middle of the 19th century, the Deviner Park, which had developed from a pine grove, became a favourite excursion destination for Stralsund residents. Especially in the 1920s, it became an important place of socialising for the townspeople. The construction of a landing stage in the 1860s and the establishment of a regular steamer connection to Stralsund and the Grahl ferry revitalised the summer excursion traffic until the Second World War.

The construction of a restaurant building in 1887 marked the beginning of the Kurhaus's rich history, which has continued to this day, alternating between boom and bust. It is located at the highest point of a naturally formed, highly undulating terrain, which forms the charming setting for the landscaped gardens of Devin. From here, there are picturesque views of Devin Bay and Stralsund.

With the reopening of the Kurhaus in 2002, the temporary revitalisation of shipping traffic and the partial restoration of the park, an attractive excursion destination has been regained.
