________________________________________________________________________________

Heringsdorf is a seaside town bathed by the Baltic sea and neighbouring Poland. The postcard Eve sent me inside cover #46  contains vintage views of the beachfront and also of 4 of the many hotels in the area: the Neptun (top right of the card);  the Camara M'Balia (bottom, left corner); the Guiseppe de Vittorio (bottom centre) and The Einheit (bottom right corner).

It seems Heringsdorf has been a very popular seaside resort ever since the 19th century, when it was one of the favorite summer destinations of the aristocracy. It is also famous for  having the longest promenade pier in Germany, built in 1995 to replace the original Emperor William Pier, built in 1893, that fell pray to fire.
