Former Imperial Post Office in Wustrow (Fischland)

The former Imperial Post Office is a listed building at Ernst-Thälmann-Straße 11 in the Baltic resort of Wustrow in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania on the Baltic Sea .

History and function of the building

In 1850 a mail expedition was set up in Wustrow , which exchanged messages with the post office in Ribnitz with the help of a boat . This was in 1971 in a post agency, in 1877 in a post office of the III. Upgraded class . The Imperial Post Office, a second class post office, was built by 1895.

The facade of the two-storey building is made of red brick . The first floor is optically separated from the ground floor by a double cornice . The corner of Berlin is striking , above whose window on the first floor the German imperial eagle from the German Empire and in a smaller window above in the gable surface the year of completion is let in.

The Imperial Post Office was initially renamed the Reich Post Office , and during the GDR it was renamed an office of the Deutsche Post . After the fall of the Wall , the municipality acquired the building from Deutsche Telekom in 1997 . In 2001 the post office moved out and closed the building on January 27, 2002. The community used the opportunity to renovate it in the following two years with the help of funds from the Ministry of Economic Affairs and urban development and to use it as the seat of the spa administration in the future. It was reopened as the “Haus des Gastes” on October 28, 2003. Concerts, lectures and temporary exhibitions take place on the upper floor. Concerts are also held in the orchard behind the building in the summer months.
