history

The Seehotel Templin was opened in 1984 as the "Friedrich Engels" rest home of the GDR unity union FDGB . Initially, the main complex was largely completed in a six-year construction period. In a second construction phase, mud was extracted from the shore area at the former “Kuhbad” seaside bathing area, sand was filled and a beach area 350 meters long and 20 meters wide and sunbathing areas were created. At the opening, 700 rooms with a total of 1023 beds were available. 500 workers were employed in and around the hotel. The hotel had its own bakery and butcher shop next to the main building. The occupancy rate was around 95 percent during the GDR era.

After the FDGB holiday service was closed in 1990, the hotel was managed in an emergency. After the layoffs, only 80 employees worked in the hotel in 1991. First a "Templiner Hotelgesellschaft" rented the hotel for one year from the trust, then the Thai company Euromill leased it and acquired it in 1994 for 15 million DM. The number of managed rooms was reduced to less than 500, in 1999 the hotel filed for bankruptcy on. Then the hotel group Albeck & Zehden from Berlin took over the operation with a new business division, from which the independent Ahorn hotel group emerged. After the hotel complex initially operated under the name "Ferienhotel Templin", it was renamed in 2004 to "Seehotel Templin" and in 2010 to "Ahorn Seehotel Templin".

architecture

The recreation home "Friedrich Engels" was built in 1984 as an industrial precast concrete building in the WBS70 system. The building is structured around an access core with three wings (so-called windmill house), the individual wings are all twelve storeys high. The facades consist of designed exposed concrete elements. The building corresponds to the usual prefabricated building in the GDR from the early 1980s.

The facade of the Seehotel was artistically redesigned in 2015/16 by Leipzig pop artist Michael Fischer-Art and has since been considered one of the largest facade works of art in Europe. At the Inkontakt trade fair in Schwedt, the Seehotel Templin was awarded the Uckermark Tourism Prize 2017.
