Ceremony for the Anniversary of the Oldest Seaside Resort on Usedom Island
The Baltic Sea resort of Zinnowitz in the Vorpommern-Greifswald district is celebrating its 175th anniversary as a seaside resort in 2026. The ceremony on June 26, 2026, is a cultural and historical highlight celebrating the town's long tradition as a spa resort. Recognized as a seaside resort since the mid-19th century, Zinnowitz developed from a fishing and farming village into one of the most traditional spa towns on the German Baltic Sea coast.
Zinnowitz's local history extends far beyond its bathing history – the first documented mention dates back over 700 years. With the enthusiasm for bathing in the Baltic Sea in the 19th century, its rise to a seaside resort began. Spa architecture, a spacious beach promenade, and today's Vineta pier still shape the town's image.

The anniversary is part of an entire year of celebrations, during which Zinnowitz commemorates its history and present as a "Sonneninsel" (Sun Island) seaside resort with numerous events.
With around 1,900 hours of sunshine per year, Zinnowitz is considered one of the sunniest places in Germany. The anniversary provides an occasion to celebrate the special location of the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Usedom Island, and to bring the town's identity closer to guests and locals alike.
