Hohe Düne (state-approved Baltic Sea resort; official title: Seebad) is a district of Rostock .

history

In the Middle Ages, the first Rostock Baltic Sea port was located in the area of ​​today's district. At that time the Warnow still flowed from the Breitling into the Baltic Sea at various points . As early as 1264 the Rostockers received municipal rights over this port.

The mouth of the Warnow was changed several times. New electricity was created at the beginning of the 20th century. With the construction of the Rostock overseas port at the end of the 1950s, the much wider sea canal was created east of the Neuer Strom. At the end of the 1990s, after the demolition of the old east pier, the Neuer Strom and Seekanal were combined to create a new approach to the Rostock ports.

In 1910, an electric beach tram was a very advanced means of transport for the time. It ran from the ferry pier to Markgrafenheide and was discontinued at the end of the war in 1945 and replaced by buses.

In its history since 1913, Hohe Düne was strongly influenced by military use and, for a short time, by civilian airfield use. In 1913 the Seefliegerhorst was built, from which an airline Berlin – Warnemünde – Copenhagen – Stockholm started its service in 1919. The airfield was closed as a commercial airfield in 1922. The aircraft designer Ernst Heinkel rented an aircraft hangar and began building aircraft. In 1924 the airfield temporarily became a commercial airfield again. In 1925, Junkers Flugzeugwerk AG tested a night flight line on the Berlin –Warnemünde – KarlskronaStockholm route . In the same year Seeflug GmbH was founded as a training center for seaplane pilots and observers.

Hohe Düne was closely connected with the history of sea flights. In 1926, the Second German Sea Flight Competition took place here. To commemorate this tradition, seaplanes and seaplanes meet every year at the Hanse Sail .

After the seizure of power by the National Socialists, the airfield and was founded in 1927 were German Pilot School in 1934 the Reichswehr assumed. The aircraft construction was relocated. Housing and barracks were built in Hohe Düne and Markgrafenheide . In 1935 the sea pilot school was converted into the pilot school (lake). After the end of the Second World War , Hohe Düne was again a commercial airport. The Lufthansa flew to 30 April 1945, after Denmark , Sweden and Norway . From 1946 to 1947 the facilities on the airfield were blown up or dismantled.

In 1953 the first "AWG-Siedlung" ( workers' housing cooperative ) of the GDR was built in Hohe Düne on the former Arado airfield

From 1965 to 1970 the 25 meter high pilot station was built at the ferry terminal. The building, designed by a group led by H. Schultz, is a steel frame construction made of precast concrete elements with six upper floors on a low-rise building.

A part of the areas used by the military in GDR times between the beach and the road to Markgrafenheide in the east of the district and between the housing estate and Breitling were opened for public use after the reunification of Germany .

A large marina with a hotel complex was opened directly on the Baltic Sea in 2005 . It offers 750 berths. The construction of the marina in High Dune was with the resort part of the Olympic bid of the city of Leipzig for the 2012 Summer Olympics .

After 2005, the Hohe Düne residential park (also known as the Tonhof) was built in the immediate vicinity of the sea canal south of the original settlement area.

In 1956 the fourth flotilla of the People's Navy of the GDR (renamed 1960) was founded. The military port was built on the northern bank of the Breitling . In 1990, after the political change, the service flags of the NVA and the People's Navy were brought down and the federal service flag was hoisted, and the 3rd Federal Border Guard flotilla was set up. In 1993 the 2nd and 7th Schnellbootgeschwader were relocated from Kiel to Warnemünde.

Today the only naval base of the German Navy in the new federal states is in Hohe Düne . There, that's the first Corvette Squadron with corvettes of the Class 130 and tenders of Class 404 stationed.
