Just picked up your post.I was there 3 years ago. Very interesting site, there is a youthhostel also on site, so you could ask for accomadation if required.

I have read a lot about it but never actually made it there.

The buildings are very austere, but hopefully something will be done to improve their image.

But thats the point...its a protected site showing people how it was....

Yes, but use of the buildings will create changes.

There was a movement or lobby that tried to incorporate the idea, to rekindle it
as a resort, but I havent been able to find further advanced information on this.
There were some organisations who threw their cap in the ring, but expense and
Yes health and safety scuppered some.Then a well known German Hotel group,
shown interest, but I believe that was to incure too much face/fassad changing of the site and the historical/museum loss of value.

Well what do you know just now found a site...www.neues-prora.de seems interesting, maybe a positive step.

Here is another building that has long interested me. It is in what used to be West Berlin but when I lived and worked there in the 1960s was a taboo topic.
