Western Pomerania — the fascinating state by the sea.
The cries of seagulls, fishing boats in the port, wide Baltic Sea beaches with piers and beach chairs, fancy promenades with villas in the spa architecture style, tranquil coves, white chalk cliffs, UNESCO-listed Brick Gothic architecture, castles and manor houses and endless rapeseed yellow fields beneath an immense blue sky. These are the images that come into most people's minds when they think of the eastern part of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. They generally also associate it with wonderful holiday memories — Western Pomerania is undoubtedly an outstanding tourist region.
Yet life here is more than this. The state has a history and many stories to tell. Stories about the people who live and work here. This book tells the stories of some of the people who have made the state their home and transformed their ideas into success. Western Pomerania — Germany's sun deck is more than just a place to go on holiday.
