Dawn on the pier at Binz on the island of Rügen HFF!

This former lifeguard station was built in 1968 by local architect Ulrich Müther (1934-2007) whose concrete shell constructions in the former GDR are important examples of modern architecture. The station is now an outpost of Binz registry office used for weddings.

Granitz is a wooded ridge (mainly beeach and oak) and nature reserve on the island of Rügen. On the highest point is the 19th century Granitz hunting lodge. The gate cottage is now used by the forestry commission. HFF!

Granitz hunting lodge was built 1838-46 in neo-Renaissance style after designs by Berlin architect Johann Gottfried Steinmeyer. The famous central tower planned by Karl Friedrich Schinkel was added later. A cantilevered circular staircase consisting of 154 cast iron steps leads to a platform giving panoramic views of Rügen island. www.jagdschloss-granitz.de www.ruegen-inselinfo.de/sehenswert/jagdschloss.html
