Heiligendamm

Germany's oldest seaside resort, founded in 1793. Its white neoclassical buildings are known as the 'White City by the Sea'.

Heiligendamm was founded by the Dukes of Mecklenburg in 1793 and was Germany's first seawater bathing resort. The coastal ensemble of white neoclassical villas and grand hotels is known as the 'White City'. In 2007 it hosted the G8 summit. The grand hotel is now a luxury resort, while the rest of the area can be explored on the seaside promenade and along the pier. It is about a 1.5-hour walk along the shady coastal path to Kühlungsborn. The Molli train also serves the village.
