History and setting
Hermann Schröder, a Güstrow native, started building the house in March 1913 and opened it on July 3, 1914. In the 1920s a motorboat brought guests across the lake, and by the 1930s buses ran from town every half hour. The building served as a military hospital from 1942, was sold in 1976 to the East German state trading organization, and was close to shutting in the 1990s before Erich Alexander Hinz took it over in October 1995. The main building was completed and the Kurhaus reopened in May 2002.
