Church of St Nicholas in Anklam
The church of St Nicholas, located in the heart of the Hanseatic town of Anklam by the Peene river, is one of the few remains of the brick Gothic architecture dating back to the founding of Anklam 750 years ago. The “Window Gallery of Hansa Coats of Arms” in the church is a unique monument to the Hanseatic League.
The St. Nicholas church has been named in honor of St. Nicholas, the patron saint of sailors, fishers and the tradesmen. It was built in gothic-hanseatic architecture and was completed during the second part of the 15th century. For centuries the church was the town’s landmark and a symbol for freedom and the prosperity of the hanseatic townspeople. The 103m high church tower – once a lighthouse – greets seamen on Oderhaff.
At the end of the Second World War – during the bombardment of Anklam - the church was almost completely destroyed. In 1994 the “Förderverein Nikolaichurch e.V.” was founded to protect the church. Since 1995 the church is gradually reconstructed. In 1999 the building was open to the public.
Nowadays Otto Lilienthal’s old baptistery is the exhibition house and event hall. Changing exhibitions are dedicated the dream of flying and town’s famous son.
The church tower is nowadays passable and leads you to the highest viewpoint of the town from where you can see the Peenetal in all its beauty. The project “Ikareum” should be realized in the future, a visitor center that is connected to the museum.
The St. Nicholas church is open from May till October. The Otto-Lilienthal-Museum offers tours through the church.

Karnin Bascule Bridge
The original bridge was a swing structure. In 1933, it underwent a major reconstruction which added the second railway track and rebuilt the central span so that it would rise parallel to the water surface. The spans were blown up in 1945, cutting off the island from the mainland. Only the bascule section has survived to this day. In 1990, it was granted the status of an industrial monument.

Museum in the Stone Gate

Otto Lilienthal Museum
The renowned museum is located in the hometown of the legendary pioneer of aviation, Otto Lilienthal. However, it is not an aviation museum per se, but rather a place dedicated to mankind’s eternal dream of flight, going back all the way to the mythological figures of Icarus and Wayland the Smith, telling the story of how the dream was finally achieved by presenting the development of aviation technology in cultural contexts.

Zecherin Bridge
A bascule bridge over the Peene river, leading to the Usedom Island. Outside the summer season (i.e. between October and March), the bridge is opened upon earlier arrangement and only until 3:00 PM.
