But for 70 years since it was built, no holiday maker has ever stayed there.
The aim was to provide leisure activities for German workers and spread Nazi propaganda.
Locals call Prora the Colossus because of its monumental structure.

Hitler’s plans for Prora were ambitious.
All rooms were planned to overlook the sea, while corridors and sanitation are located on the land side.
Each room of 5 by 2.5 metres was to have two beds, a wardrobe and a sink.
There were communal toilets and showers and ballrooms on each floor.
War, indeed happened, before the building could be completed and Hitlers priorities changed.
He transferred the construction workers to build the V-Weapons plant at Peenemunde instead.
By the end of the war, these buildings housed female auxiliary personnel for the Luftwaffe.
After the war, Prora was used as a military outpost for the East German army.
