The sea promenade is lined with picturesque neoclassical villas. A large number of hotels have been built here in the style of spa architecture. One of the oldest hotels on the promenade is the Hotel Hübner. It was built in 1852 as a residential and bathhouse by the shipowner Friedrich Gustav Hübner from Rostock.
Two other impressive buildings on the promenade are the “Heinkel Villa” and the villa of the weather service. The house at Seestraße 15 is the so-called “Heinkel Villa”. This house was built in 1880 and acquired by the aircraft engineer Ernst Heinkel in 1930. Today it houses the “Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde”. To the right of the Heinkel Villa is the weather service building. You can already recognise it by the measuring instruments on the roof and in the dunes. This “weather house” was once the former summer residence of the well-known Rostock schnapps manufacturer Conrad Lehment, from whom the double caraway speciality “Mann un Fru” comes.
From the sea promenade you have a great view of the beach and the harbour entrance or enjoy the sun and the hustle and bustle in one of the numerous promenade benches.
