New hotel project in Prora: living space for employees or conflict?

In the picturesque community of Prora on the island of Rügen, there are currently exciting developments. The conversion of a former workshop near the Edeka into apartments for hotel employees is planned. However, this project meets resistance: The municipal council initially refused to consent, as it is concerned that the use of the living space could conflict the new development plans for the district. Especially in times when hotels and restaurants on the island are fighting with a lack of personnel, partly due to the lack of accommodations for employees, this is a hotly discussed topic. The administration is now asked to find solutions in order to exclude different residential uses and possible conflicts of goals. This problem is becoming increasingly urgent in Rügen, since the demand for qualified staff is increasing steadily and corresponding living opportunities are missing.

A ray of hope in the region is Anja Lamouchi from Göhren, who has launched a delivery service for healthy breakfast. The aim is to improve the supply in the Mönchgut hinterland. With her background as a trained geriatric nurse, wellness practitioner and hypnosis coach, she not only brings fresh products to the door, but also plans to open a practice for massage, foot care and cosmetics next year. In doing so, it meets several needs of the local population and vacationer.

The day at the Sea Festival: A highlight in Prora

Another event that enriches the summer complaint is the day at the Sea Festival, which takes place in Prora on July 19th and 20th, 2025. This festival combines electronic music with a sustainable festival idea and offers a family atmosphere on the beach. Visitors can look forward to DJs from the areas of House, Reggae and Techno, as well as regional food stands, yoga sessions, workshops and a safe kids area. The Landjugendverband M-V e.V. is also part of the party and offers various activities that encourage participation. The number of tickets remains the same, which means that many young people should not miss this event.

The organizers of the festival attach great importance to sustainability, which is an indispensable aspect in the planning of events these days. A guide from the Federal Environment Ministry and the Federal Environmental Office offers useful information. The recommended focus of action includes mobility, the venue, energy consumption, waste management and accessibility. So if you want to experience a good party without a guilty conscience, you shouldn't miss the day at the Sea Festival.

further developments in the region

While there is a lot in prora, there is also news from Stralsund: a new KFC restaurant was opened in the city, the first in Western Pomerania and the 18th restaurant of the franchise partner Ingo Brauer. With a capacity of around 70 seats indoors and an outside terrace, the new restaurant is waiting for hungry guests.

Between all of these developments, the historical fish cutter "Rudolf Virchow" was recovered after one and a half months after he had been on the port edge of the Dänholm for some time. The 24-meter-long ship, which was built in Barth in 1952 and was part of the GDR fishing fleet, is to be dismantled after the rescue. The water protection police are already investigating the exact cause of the incident.

Overall, it turns out that a lot is moved on the island of Rügen. The needs of citizens and tourists are becoming increasingly important, and projects such as the day at the Sea Festival or the delivery service by Anja Lamouchi are important building blocks that enrich life and culture in the region.
