Beach at the Lagoon in Ueckermünde
The 800 m long sandy beach in Ueckermünde has a long history, serving the local people since 1926. The shallow waters by the shore are perfect for taking a plunge with children. There are two children’s playgrounds, a dog beach, and a nudist beach (known as FKK-Strand).

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.

Haffmuseum in the Castle Ueckermünde
In the middle from the old Town from the seaside resort Ueckermünde in the castle the Pomeranian duchess, there is the Haffmuseum.
The museum’s entrance with its late gothic cladding design is already very interesting for fans of architecture. The visit already starts in front of the entrance. You will find exhibits of prehistoric times, early history and the town’s history. In the past, casting, brickyards and the fishing were the main branches of the economy in Uckermünde. There are also some special exhibitions depending on the season, which are especially aimed at families. During the Easter or a Christmas exhibitions, children can learn about history through playful quizzes. Also the crafting stations and play offers are very popular with younger visitors.
The topic, “family trip to the museum” with special exhibitions plays an important role. Additional information can be found at the multimedia station (fitted for every age).
The museums shop has a lot of offers for children. The museum’s family friendly prices are one of many factors why it is such a beloved attraction for visitors.

Observation tower

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.

St. Marien Church Ueckermünde
The steeple of St. Marien’s Church is visible from afar before the entrance to Ueckermünde. Since 1766, the St. Marien Church stands at this point. From a predecessor building, a part of the council stalls, which dates back to 1593, has been preserved. Coats of arms and house marks of the council members let us guess their tasks today. Worth seeing in the church are also the completely painted wooden ceiling and the three beautiful chandeliers. Several large oil paintings show personalities, such as the reformers Luther and Calvin, as well as some Ueckermünde pastors. Like the paintings, the baptismal font dates from the 17th century. The altar was renovated in 1961.
In the past few years, many works have been carried out on the church building, which are important for the permanent preservation of this sacred building. The tower of the church was rebuilt in 1866 and renovated in the nineties. There are five bells in it, which could be re-poured thanks to a one-time donation campaign, as they were unfortunately defective. The roof was completely renewed. Inside, the valuable painted wooden ceiling was initially secured and restored a few years later with great effort. In 2013, the façade was extensively renovated. The church now shines again in ocher and white, the original color version of 1766.
Take a look at St. Mary's Church, attend a church service or one of the many concerts that take place here, especially in summer.
