Construction site on Timmendorfer Strand: Detours and trouble for visitors!

Timmendorfer Strand is currently very hot. Directly in front of the Maritim Hotel, a construction site is causing excitement among visitors. The passage to the popular Baltic Sea promenade remains closed, so holidaymakers and walkers are forced to take a detour through the sand. However, the municipality has assured that the remaining work on the pier forecourt should be completed by the end of October 2025. This measure has recently come into focus because it is part of a comprehensive redesign of the beach area. That reports moin.de.

The lack of clarity regarding poor signage creates additional confusion. Passers-by ask construction workers for information, while people wonder when the longed-for passage will finally be reopened. In the last few meters it becomes obvious that the small diversion is currently unavoidable for anyone who wants to enjoy the fresh sea air.

Festive opening and new pier

The good news: The new maritime pier in Timmendorfer Strand was recently officially opened. After several delays - caused by stormy weather, delivery shortages and even an accident - visitors now have the opportunity to use the beautiful new bridge. This first of three planned piers in the region is 427 meters long and designed to last an impressive 100 years. The construction costs climbed from the original 7.5 million euros to ultimately 11.8 million euros, but still remained below the approved budget of 11.9 million euros ndr.de reported.

The old bridge had to be demolished after 44 years due to dilapidation, but the new construction now offers visitors a circular route that opens up different perspectives of the sea. The bridgehead is equipped with comfortable wooden furniture that offers space for pleasure boats and bathing boats. Prime Minister Daniel Günther gave a speech at the opening and the celebrations were accompanied by a beach party that lightened the mood.

A look at the future

With this new pier, the beach area will not only be more attractive, but will also be very popular with holidaymakers. The community is already working on another new pier in Scharbeutz, which is scheduled to be completed at the end of 2025. These developments make it clear that Timmendorfer Strand is well on its way to becoming an even more popular destination for tourists while at the same time improving the living space of the locals.

While construction work is still ongoing, visitors can look forward to the exciting news in the area and enjoy the maritime flair that the new pier brings with it. However, until the passage to the promenade can be reopened, the small diversion will remain a constant companion over the next few days. Keep your eyes and ears open!
