Sellin Pier

Initial plans in 1901 foresaw a 60-metre-long landing stage, but this was deemed insufficient due to the very high number of anticipated visitors.

[1] In 1925 a new pier was built with a platform and concert hall, that had a length of approximately 500 metres.

The undamaged bridge house survived, however, and from 1950s to the 1970s was the site of a popular dance hall.

On 27 August 1992, reconstruction began in several sections based on models of the buildings from 1906 and 1925.

[2] On 20 December 1997, Sellin honorary citizen Hans Knospe symbolically cut the ribbon for at the handover of the structure.
