The current pier was reconstructed and reopened in 1992 following the destruction of the original 1911 structure during a severe ice winter in 1978.
It is an integral part of Boltenhagen’s status as a state-recognized climatic seaside resort.
The pier's length of 290 meters allows for clear views toward the Klützhöwer Winkel, a prominent coastal landscape to the west.
The structure serves as an active docking point for passenger ships connecting to Wismar and other nearby coastal towns.
The Seebrücke Boltenhagen is a 290-meter-long pier extending into the Baltic Sea in the German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. It serves as the central focal point of the Boltenhagen resort, which is the second-oldest Baltic seaside spa in Germany. The pier provides a vantage point for viewing the Bay of Mecklenburg and the coastal cliffs of Klützhöwer Winkel. Visitors can access excursion boats from the end of the pier during the season. The structure is constructed primarily of wood and steel, designed to withstand seasonal Baltic weather conditions. It is connected directly to the resort's promenade, which features historic spa architecture and landscaped gardens. The pier is a popular site for seasonal events, including fireworks and local maritime festivals.
From the beach level looking up at the pier entrance at sunset.
Bring a windbreaker even in summer, as temperatures on the pier can be significantly cooler than on the beach due to sea breezes.
Walk to the very end of the pier for the best opportunity to spot local birdlife or passing ships.
Visit during the evening to see the pier lighting, which illuminates the structure after sunset.
Avoid feeding the seagulls, as they can become aggressive and are a nuisance to other visitors.
No cycling or skating on the pier to ensure pedestrian safety; keep dogs on a leash.
