Beach chairs on Steinwarder in Heiligenhafen, Germany Apr 23, 2025

Did you know that the first beach chairs were developed in the 19th century to protect against the fine sand and wind? Beach chairs have a special charm even in stormy weather, as in the picture today in front of the pier on Steinwarder in Heiligenhafen, Germany. Steinwarder, a picturesque peninsula, was originally only connected to the mainland by salt marshes and the Eichholz lowlands. Today, it is a paradise for vacationers seeking peace and nature.
