Karlshagen is a Baltic Sea spa in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in the North of the island of Usedom. Karlshagen is a small and quiet town and is located between Zinnowitz and Peenemuende. Originally Karlshagen was a fishing village with one of the largest fishing ports of the island of Usedom. In the years of 1920 Karlshagen bekame known as a holiday resort and got the title of a Baltic Sea Spa. Unfortunately the beach area of Karlshagen was completely destroyed by the disturbances until 1945 and was integrated in the military area round Peenemuende. In the year of 1998 new holiday accomodations were created in the beach area of Karlshagen that were adjusted to the town’s maritime flair. The Strandstrasse (beach sreet) appeared in an all new shine and became the centre of tourism. Since the year 2001 Karshagen has been allowed to call itself Baltic Sea Spa Karlshagen again. There is no other town on the island of Usedom, where there were more changes since 1990 than in this one.
