Trassenheide is a seaside resort on the island of Usedom in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, in Germany.
The first documented mention of Trassenheide was in 1786, first under the designation "mutton stable"; a large sheep stable had been established to protect herds of sheep against sudden flooding by the Baltic Sea.
In August 1943 it was heavily damaged by a bomb attack aimed at the neighbouring Luftwaffe rocket research station in Peenemünde.
Hundreds of enslaved people in the Trassenheide labour camp were killed in the bombing.
The architects, Polish partners Klaudiusz Golos and Sebastian Mikiciuk designed the house as part of the project 'The World Upside Down' that should allow visitors a different view of everyday items.
