Kölpinsee is a district of the municipality of Loddin on the island of Usedom .
Geography and traffic
Kölpinsee is located on the sea-facing side of the municipality of Loddin, between the Baltic Sea coast and federal highway 111 . The neighboring municipality of Koserow is located in the northeast , and the Loddin district of Stubbenfelde joins it in the southwest .
In Kölpinsee there is the lake of the same name with a water surface of around 28 hectares. The lake is only two hundred meters from the Baltic Sea and separated from it by a low fore dune and a protective dike.
The north-western part of the village is characterized by beech and pine forests and a steep coast that gradually rises towards Koserow. To the east there is a flat stretch of coast, which rises again to the Teufelsberg located between the coast and the Kölpinsee .
The Kölpinsee stop is on the Züssow – Wolgaster ferry – Swinemünde railway line .
history
Kölpinsee was first mentioned in 1421 as "Culpin". The Slavic founding name is interpreted with "swan" and in connection with the lake as "swan pond". The place belonged to the Pudagla Monastery.
In 1610 the place Colpin (colpa = swan) near Loddin was mentioned again. The place was burned to the ground and plundered by Wallenstein's troops during the Thirty Years War and then not mentioned any further. Loddin came to Prussia as a state domain after the Treaty of Stockholm on February 1, 1720 . In 1848 the land was settled.
With the name Kölpinsee, the place was mentioned in the table sheet of 1880 and 1906 in the place directory. In 1880 the place consisted only of the small villa district on the lake and the Loddiner boat station (herring packing) on the beach of today's Kölpinsee.
At the end of the 19th century, Loddin sought a connection to bathing tourism, which was already flourishing in the imperial baths in the east of the island. In 1896 Carl Prutz had the Hotel Wald und See built on the Baltic Sea coast , which no longer exists today, thereby expanding the new Loddin district of Kölpinsee . According to the name only, this designation is linked to the former place "Culpin" or "Colpin", the actual location of which can no longer be traced.
As early as 1920 the place extended from the villa colony to the street or railway line, and a bath was installed on the beach.
Twice on a New Year's Eve (1904/1905 and 1913/1914) the dune was breached during storm floods, and the Baltic Sea poured over the Kölpinsee to the Achterwasser. For this reason, the construction of a protective dike between the Kölpinsee and the Baltic Sea began in 1928. This was completed a year later. In the 1950s, a 300 meter long wall of surf was built in front of the beach to prevent the cliffs from being washed away. However, this was destroyed in a storm flood in 1954 and was not rebuilt.
tourism
The wide white sandy beach typical of Usedom makes the place very attractive for bathers in summer. The Kölpinsee is an attractive destination for hikers and anglers. Many hotels and restaurants are based in the village. Kölpinsee / Loddin belongs together with Ückeritz , Koserow and Zempin to the Usedomer Amber Baths Association , the aim of which is joint tourist marketing.
In the 1920s / 30s, the small seaside resort was a meeting place for UFA film stars such as Willy Fritsch , Lilian Harvey , Grethe Weiser , Anny Ondra and Hans Söhnker in the Hotel Seerose, which opened in 1897 .
After 1949, the existing hotels in the districts of Kölpinsee and Stubbenfelde were nationalized and some FDJ holiday home settlements were established. After the fall of the Wall in the 1990s, some of these were privatized and a rehabilitation center for children and adolescents and a clinic for mother-and-child cures were created, whose therapeutic facilities specialize in skin and respiratory diseases.
On a hill on the edge of the coastal forest there is a spa pavilion where events take place during the bathing season. In the historic station building completed in 1911 there is a small museum with a local exhibition.
