Fischerstube Mönkebude Local History Museum

Mönkebude

Since 2000, the Fischerstube has been home to everything that shaped life in the village and the region. The tourist information office is also located here. Here you’ll find information, room reservations, bike rentals, fishing permits, souvenirs, and much more. On May 11, 1996, the “Fischerstube” Mönkebude Museum opened its doors—and has since become a vibrant place of remembrance and community. What once began as a small exhibition on the history of fishing is now a lovingly maintained piece of village culture that delights locals and visitors alike. In the Fischerstube, you can feel the spirit of times gone by: nets, fish traps, tools, and photos tell the story of the hard but proud work of the fishermen on the Szczecin Lagoon. Many exhibits come from local families—each piece with its own story. The museum thus preserves not only old artifacts, but above all the knowledge, language, and sense of community of an entire generation. The tourist information office is also located here. Here you’ll find information, room reservations, bike rentals, fishing license sales, souvenirs, and much more.

St. Peter's Church, Mönkebude

St. Peter's Church, Mönkebude

Mönkebude

The church in Mönkebude is located on the southwestern shore of the Szczecin Lagoon within the Haffküste Landscape Conservation Area. To the south and west of the community lies the Ueckermünder Heide. St. Petri Church was built in 1933–1934 as the first church in this village, which is approximately 750 years old. The church is oriented east-west on a trapezoidal plot between a state highway and a local road, about 1,000 meters from the lagoon shore. The tower is 18 meters high, including the cross. The church is constructed of brick masonry (wall thickness: nave 50 cm, tower 62.5 cm) as a simple, single-nave hall church (roof pitch approx. 45°), with a recessed wooden beam ceiling and a barrel-vaulted chancel. A photovoltaic system (2002–2004) has been installed on the south side of the roof. With its octagonal spire, the church tower resembles a lighthouse with a viewing gallery.
