A Bauhaus Masterpiece by the Baltic
The Kurhaus Warnemünde stands as one of Germany's finest examples of Bauhaus architecture, commanding a prime position on the Seestraße with unobstructed views across the Baltic Sea. Constructed between 1917 and 1928 with a brief interruption during World War I, the building represents the pinnacle of early 20th-century seaside resort design. Its clean lines, functional elegance, and harmonious proportions reflect the Bauhaus philosophy of marrying form with purpose. The exterior has been meticulously preserved in its original state, while the interior underwent comprehensive modernization in 1996 and again in 2002, ensuring contemporary comfort without compromising historical integrity.From Concert Garden to Cultural Hub
Before the Kurhaus was built, this location hosted a concert garden that served Warnemünde's growing community of visitors. The original Lesehalle (reading hall) and pavilion from that era remain standing in the adjacent Kurhausgarten, serving as tangible links to the resort's 19th-century origins. During the Kurhaus's golden age from 1928 to 1939, the complex thrived as a vibrant social center, with the restaurant, café, and grand hall hosting an endless stream of guests. The tradition continued through the German Democratic Republic era, when the building became the cultural heart of Warnemünde, hosting concerts, open-air cinema, and major conferences on the natural stage within the garden.Culinary Excellence Overlooking the Sea
Restaurant Paulo Scutarro occupies the heart of the Kurhaus, offering Mediterranean and regional cuisine served in an atmosphere of understated sophistication. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame panoramic views of the Baltic, transforming every meal into a seaside experience. The restaurant operates Thursday through Sunday, with the kitchen closing at 21:00. Sunday brunches from 11:00 to 14:00 have become a beloved tradition, featuring an extensive buffet with fresh pastries, breakfast specialties, and seasonal dishes, accompanied by complimentary beverages including prosecco and specialty coffees. The venue also hosts special culinary events, including the annual Adventsbrunch during the festive season, where elegant dining meets holiday atmosphere.Gardens, Concerts, and Open-Air Celebrations
The Kurhausgarten extends the Kurhaus experience into a landscaped outdoor realm, completely redesigned in 1996 according to historical precedent. A modern concert shell with extensive stage facilities and supporting rooms now anchors the garden, hosting free live concerts every Sunday and holiday from May through September under the "Meeresbrise" banner. Local bands perform everything from traditional shanties to folk, soul, and rock, creating an informal festival atmosphere. The garden serves as the primary venue for Warnemünde's major seasonal events, including the Warnemünder Woche sailing festival in July and the Hanse Sail in August, both drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors annually.A Versatile Event Destination
The Kurhaus functions as a premier event venue, with multiple stylishly appointed halls and modern technical infrastructure accommodating everything from intimate gatherings to large conferences. The banquet hall hosts weddings, corporate celebrations, and cultural performances, while smaller spaces serve private functions and exhibitions. The venue's barrierefree design, including a side elevator, ensures accessibility for all guests. An adjacent public parking garage with 550 spaces provides convenient parking, with rates of 3.50 euros per hour for the first three hours, then 2.50 euros per additional hour, capped at 18 euros for 24-hour parking.A Living Monument to Seaside Elegance
Today, the Kurhaus Warnemünde remains a symbol of Warnemünde's identity and a beacon for visitors seeking authentic Baltic Sea culture. Whether attending a concert in the garden, dining with sea views, or celebrating a milestone event, visitors experience a venue that honors its storied past while embracing contemporary hospitality. The building's enduring appeal lies in its ability to blend historical significance with practical modern comfort, creating an atmosphere where the rhythm of the Baltic sets the pace for unforgettable moments.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
