Lübs Motor Mill

Lübs Motor Mill

Lübs

The historic Lübs Motor Mill, built at the turn of the century, has been lovingly restored and now serves as a museum and demonstration workshop. Discover the history of technology and experience the journey from grain to bread. The Lübs motor mill was built around the turn of the century following a fire at the old windmill and was the first motor mill of its kind in the region. It quickly developed into an important economic hub for the village. The complex includes the over 100-year-old miller’s house, the motor mill itself, and several outbuildings added in the 1980s. During World War II, the mill was severely damaged when tank shells struck the facade. Despite this damage, the mill remained in operation until the fall of the Berlin Wall and was renovated several times to meet the needs of its respective operators. After the LPG Tierproduktion ceased using the building, it stood empty and fell into disrepair. In 2004, however, the municipality of Lübs decided to save the mill and convert it into a museum with a demonstration workshop. Thanks to funding from the EU’s LEADER+ Community Initiative, reconstruction work began in 2005. The machinery and the historic transmission technology were restored and can now be partially demonstrated. A wood-fired oven was also built in the courtyard, where bread is baked on special occasions. Today, the mill is a vibrant cultural center for the village. Here, visitors learn all about the journey from grain to bread, the history of technology, and the history of Lübs. Since 2024, “Mill Friday” has been held regularly once a month, when the village community gathers for a cozy afternoon. In addition, the mill offers a unique setting for events such as weddings and family celebrations in a historic atmosphere. The Lübs community is actively involved in the mill

Steam ferry museum - single-railway steam ferry

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.

Lassaner Mühle Museum

Lassaner Mühle Museum

Lassan

The Lassan Watermill, now a local history museum, offers a fascinating journey through the town’s history and the milling trade. Experience the historic machinery and a unique exhibition on local craftsmanship. The former Lassan Watermill, an impressive 19th-century structure, tells the long history of the town of Lassan and its residents. The mill was first mentioned in a document in 1410 and played an important role in the local economy. In 1803, however, it was destroyed by fire before being rebuilt on its original foundations in the 19th century. Originally, the mill was used for flour production until around 1930, powered by an overshot waterwheel, before it was converted to diesel and later electric motors. The mill remained in operation until 1976, supplying the surrounding communities. After it was decommissioned, the building stood vacant for several years until dedicated citizens took on the restoration in 1982. Thanks to these efforts, the mill was opened as a local history museum on July 9, 1988. Today, visitors can admire the preserved technical equipment, including original machinery and roller mills, which offer a glimpse into the traditional milling craft. In addition to milling technology, the museum documents the history of the town of Lassan from its beginnings as a fishing village in the 12th century through to its heyday in the 19th century, when up to 200 carpenters were working in the town. A special exhibition showcases the woodworking trade between 1890 and 1910, when Lassan was famous for its carpentry. The history of fishing and the harbor is also vividly presented. The watermill, which is a listed historic building, is an important testament to the region’s industrial and artisanal history and offers a unique opportunity to experience the town’s past up close.

Rungehaus Museum

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.

Museum of Technology and Transportation

Museum of Technology and Transportation

Szczecin

Established in 2006 in a former tram depot, the museum is one of the largest technology museums in the country. The exhibition is dedicated to Szczecin’s public transportation system and the automotive industry. The Museum of Technology and Transportation is located in the former tram depot on Niemierzyńska Street, which was built at the beginning of the 20th century, specifically in 1907. The construction was necessitated by a lack of space for the growing number of trams. Land used for allotment gardens and the site of a county cemetery were acquired for the project. The building was designed by two Berlin architects—Steinmetz and Griesbach. The gabled roof with a glass front, in which a clock was installed, is particularly striking. Before the outbreak of World War II, the depot was modernized twice—in 1912 and at the turn of the year from 1929 to 1930. The Niemierzyn depot was the first depot in Szczecin to resume operations after World War II—it opened as early as 1945. The facility is a terminal depot with 16 tracks inside. Starting in 1945, Niemierzyn served only tram line 3; toward the end of its operation, it also served lines 4, 11, and 12. The last departure from this depot in history took place on October 1, 2004—it was tram line 11. In 2009, the modernization of the Niemierzyn depot began, and its interior spaces were handed over to the Museum of Technology and Transportation. The museum opened its doors a year later. Today, visitors can see historic trams, buses, cars, and motorcycles in the former depot. Permanent exhibitions include, among others: “Szczecin Automobiles, 1919–1944,” “Polish Automobiles—Vehicles of the People’s Republic of Poland,” “Single-Track Vehicles from the People’s Republic of Poland,” “Polish Prototypes,” and “Vehicles of Uniformed Services.” Ticket prices are: 10 PLN (regular), 5 PLN (reduced), 24 PLN (family ticket, 1 or 2 adults and children, maximum 5 people), group ticket 5 PLN (10 or more people). Admission is free on Tuesdays (except for “Eureka of Movement”). The Niemierzyn Depot was added to the Voivodeship List of Historic Monuments in November 2005. The museum has an elevator for people with limited mobility, which allows wheelchair users to access the exhibition in the basement and the café on the upper floor. Visitors can purchase souvenirs at the ticket office.

Museum ship Luise

Museum ship Luise

Göhren

The museum ship "Luise", built in 1906, documents the working and living conditions of the Rügen coastal skippers and the importance of coastal shipping for the island's population. The museum ship "Luise" is a fully accessible and completely furnished coastal freighter and is particularly popular with technology enthusiasts and children. Until the 1960s, the motorsailer, which was launched in 1906, sailed the waters around Rügen to supply the island's population with all the necessities of life.
