Steam ferry museum - single-railway steam ferry

● Wolgast

Built in 1890, the steam ferry "Stralsund" offered space for up to three passenger carriages with around 300 passengers and was originally built for the Stralsund - Altefähr (Rügen) route. Today, the ferry is in its last place of operation as a museum ship in Wolgast harbor and can be visited. The single-railway steam ferry "Stralsund" from 1890 is the only surviving ship of its kind in Germany. Originally built for the ferry service between Stralsund and Altefähr on Rügen, it was used in Swinemünde from 1901 due to increased capacity requirements on this line. After the war, the ferry was used for the trajectory between the island of Usedom and the mainland in the port of Wolgast, as there was no longer a rail connection between the island of Usedom and the mainland between the blowing up of the Karnin railroad lift bridge in 1945 and the new track over the Wolgast Peene Bridge until 2000. It was last used in the 1990s to replace the old railcars with new vehicles from the Usedomer Bäderbahn. Visitors can view the engine room, the mess room and the bridge of the ferry moored in the museum harbor.

Rungehaus Museum

● Wolgast

The Rungehaus Museum is the birthplace of the painter and Romantic artist Philipp Otto Runge (1777–1810). Alongside Caspar David Friedrich, he is considered one of the most important painters and printmakers of the German Romantic period. While original works by the artist Philipp August Runge can be found at the Hamburger Kunsthalle, his life story is chronicled at his birthplace in Wolgast. In addition to painting, Runge made a decisive contribution to three-dimensional color theory, designed playing cards, and wrote down the first fairy tales in Germany. The best-known of these—“The Fisherman and His Wife”—was included in the Brothers Grimm’s collection. Route of North German Romanticism: Runge House in Wolgast – Runge’s Birthplace Philipp Otto Runge was born on July 23, 1777. Like Friedrich August von Klinkowström, he had ten siblings. Even in his early childhood, his teacher at the Wolgast school, the poet Ludwig Gotthard Kosegarten, recognized and nurtured his artistic talent. After an apprenticeship in Hamburg, Runge decided in 1799 to study art in Copenhagen. After his return, he met Caspar David Friedrich and also moved to Dresden. Runge nevertheless spent several years in Wolgast, where, among other things, he developed his theory of three-dimensional color theory. One of his most famous works, “Wilhelmine Helwig,” is housed at the Pomeranian State Museum in Greifswald.
