Strandhotel Ostseeblick
Heringsdorf, Germany · Independent · Near Luxury
Kurt and Elisabeth Wehrmann bought the Ostseeblick in 1936 and lost it in 1953, when Aktion Rose seized the house and sent them to prison as economic criminals. The old spa building came down in the 1980s and a plain replacement went up. Grandson Uwe and Sibylle Wehrmann bought it back in 1993 and reopened on 14 June 1996, among the first hotels on Usedom with a spa of its own. Daughters Lisa and Muriel are the fourth generation at Kulmstraße 28, above the promenade, with the MEERness spa and Restaurant Bernstein facing the Baltic.
- 60 rooms
- Opened 1996
- Rooms from 269 sq ft (25 m²)

About Strandhotel Ostseeblick
- Room 333, the Panorama Mastersuite, opened in July 2019: three rooms, a master bath, and the widest sea view in the house.
- In 2010 Gault Millau scored Restaurant Bernstein at 15 points and two toques, which the hotel counts as the best mark on Usedom that year. Interior designer Susanne Kaiser has shaped these rooms for three decades.
- In 2004 the family opened Villa Usedom beside the hotel, 33 apartments in an old villa and a new wing. Günther and Felicitas Wehrmann had already run the former union home as a hotel garni while the courts undid the expropriation.
- The rebuilt MEERness spa opened in November 2021, the year of the 25th anniversary, and readers of SPA Inside named it their favorite in 2023.
- Entry-level rooms start at 269 sq ft (25 m²).
History
Kurt Wehrmann and his wife Elisabeth bought the Ostseeblick in 1936 and ran it as a family hotel until Aktion Rose in 1953 expropriated the house and sent them to prison as economic criminals. The FDGB then used it as a holiday home. In the 1980s the original Bäderarchitektur building, already ruined, was demolished and a plain new block put up in its place. After reunification Günther and Felicitas Wehrmann ran that home as a hotel garni while they fought the old judgments. Sibylle and Uwe Wehrmann bought it in 1993 and reopened on 14 June 1996. The family counts that day as the start of the present hotel, which is why 2026 is the 30th anniversary, even though the Wehrmann story begins in 1936. Lisa and Muriel Wehrmann are now the fourth generation. Susanne Kaiser has been the interior designer for three decades.
