Vju Hotel Rügen
Göhren, Germany · Independent · Accessible Luxury
On Göhren's Nordperd, the cape whose Slavic name means a projection into the sea, a hotel has stood since the Nordpeerd of 1882. The Herrmann and Johanna Abraham Foundation later made that house a home for Jewish children from Berlin, Silesia, and Saxony, and from 1951 East Germany ran it as Haus Thälmann, a holiday house for the People's Police. The old building was demolished in 1998. The present house opened as the Hotel Hanseatic on 1 June 2000, tower and all, and on 14 April 2021 it became the Vju.

History
The Hotel Nordpeerd went up in 1882 at the highest point of Göhren, beside the water tower, and took its name from the cape. Before the end of the century it was enlarged more than once and given a tower meant to recall a castle keep. In the 1920s the Herrmann and Johanna Abraham Foundation turned it into a children's home for Jewish children from Berlin, Silesia, and Saxony. In 1951 it became public property and was renamed Haus Thälmann, a vacation house for the People's Police, until reunification left it briefly tenanted and then empty. Two private owners bought it from the federal government in 1994, demolished the old building in 1998, and opened the Hotel Hanseatic on 1 June 2000 in the manner of classic resort architecture. Villa Fortuna, which is listed, opened on 10 May 2005. Villa Felicitas and the Bernsteinpalais followed in September 2008. arcona of Rostock took the management in July 2018, renovated the main house from November 2020 to May 2021, and on 14 April 2021 renamed the hotel Vju, pronounced like the English word view.
