The world's largest hotel stands in the German city of Rügen in the Baltic Sea, along with a vast sandy beach, which stretches over an amazing distance of three miles and has 10,000 rooms all facing the sea
Three years before the German invasion of Poland in 1939, Adolf Hitler ordered the construction of the largest tourist resort in the world, on the coast of the German island of Rogen. The Nazis called it "Prora"

The world's largest hotel overlooks the sands of the white beach at 3 miles on the Baltic island of Rogin, but although it has 10,000 rooms, this hotel has remained empty since the Nazi leader ordered it built in 1936. The purpose of the hotel was to provide recreational activities for German workers and soldiers, to support the tourist economy of the island and to make it a center for European tourists and to turn it into a Nazi facade that reflected the power of Hitler and his regime.

More than 9,000 workers participated in the construction of the resort and were completed after 3 years of continuous work and were designed to be all rooms overlooking the sea. However, the project was never inaugurated due to the outbreak of the Second World War and the Nazi preoccupation with armaments and fighting. The war and the rest of the resort ended up as mere ruins telling the story of a regime that ended. Today, Germany is considering revisiting this project and returning it to life, especially as the region is already an attractive tourist destination and much can be achieved if the construction and maintenance of resorts are supported

While the status of the Nazi police was evolving, Germany's overall vision was full of hope, Morhouse told Business Insider. "And here comes the role of something like perora "

Each room is 5 meters in 2.5 meters and has 2 beds, a basin, and a chest of drawersIn the middle of Prora, Hitler commissioned a large ballroom to accommodate the entire 20,000 population at one timeAlthough this sea resort was built over 70 years ago, it did not have one visitor until 2014, due to the fact that this resort was built by the Nazis between 1936 and 1939. On the orders of Hitler.
During this period Hitler was preparing for war Which was the priority, which led to the failure to finish the project of this large building during the few years that was "Prora" under construction.

This project is shared by all the large construction companies in the Reich (in Germany), in addition to nine thousand workers. In 1939, the construction of the eight buildings, the theater and the cinema were halted After the war, Prora was used as the military base of the East German Army, but its buildings were empty again after the reunification of Germany in 1990.

This large, complex project, designed to accommodate 20,000 visitors, was Part of the "Kraft durch Freude" Nazi program, and locals call Brora the name of the giant, a sign of its huge structure.

After years of discussion, the plan now turns Prora into a modern tourist resort .
