Kölpinsee stop with museum of local history

The local history museum is located at the Kölpinsee stop.

Here you can see lots of interesting facts about the history of the seaside resort of Kölpinsee and the farming and fishing village of Loddin. The village of "Colpin" was first mentioned in a document in 1610. The small museum informs visitors about the development of the village, which experienced its boom at the end of the 19th century with the development of the seaside resorts on the Baltic coast. The exhibition includes the areas of agriculture, fishing, crafts and the development of the seaside resort and amber, whose rich deposits on its beaches gave the village of Kölpinsee its name "Amber Spa". Interesting facts about the history of the Kölpinsee seaside resort and the farming and fishing village of Loddin can be seen in the local history museum in the station building.

Home museum at the Kölpinsee stop - history since 1610

The Kölpinsee stop on the island of Usedom is home to the village's Heimatstube - a small but fine museum in the historic station building. The village was first mentioned in documents as early as 1610 under the name "Colpin". The exhibition provides a vivid insight into the eventful history of the seaside resort of Kölpinsee and the neighboring farming and fishing village of Loddin.

Amber, fishing and the development into a seaside resort

The Heimatstube is dedicated to several topics at once: Agriculture, fishing, crafts and the development of Kölpinsee into a popular seaside resort at the end of the 19th century. A special chapter is dedicated to amber - there are rich deposits of the golden sea resin on the beaches of Kölpinsee, which is why the town is also known as the "amber spa". Similar coastal traditions and spa histories characterize the entire Baltic coast of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, from Rügen to Usedom to Fischland-Darß-Zingst.

Small museum with regional significance for Usedom

The Heimatstube is aimed at visitors who want to find out more about the life and culture of the people on the Baltic coast of Usedom. Anyone exploring the island away from the beach and promenade will find an authentic insight into the regional past here - embedded in the charming ambience of an old railroad station building.
