Would you like to spend your holidays at a seaside resort called sheep shed? 100 years ago the inhabitants of Hammelstall (=sheep shed) on the island of Usedom deeply feared that the name of their village would put off tourists from spending their holidays (and money) at this very place. For this reason they decided to rename Hammelstall into Trassenheide, a designation, which is in fact less off-putting. Thus the way was paved for the village in 1910 to become a small, but successful holiday resort.
When
the village was founded in 1824, holidaymakers already arrived at other
places on the island. Trassenheide is therefore one of the latest
seaside resorts on Usedom. 26 years after the arrival of the first
holidaymakers at the village, the whole
northern part of the island including Trassenheide was declared a restricted zone
of the rocket research centre at Peenemuende. That is why all
the bathing seasons at the village were cancelled from 1936 until the
end of World War 2.
