Beginnings and naming 1882 - 1951

In 1882, the Hotel Nordpeerd was built at the highest point of the village of Göhren next to the historic water tower. The hotel got its name from the sand cliff jutting out into the sea on which the resort is located. The name "Nordpeerd" comes from the Slavic word "peert", which means "projection (into the sea)."

Hotel Nordpeerd has changed hands several times over the years. In the 1920s, it was acquired by the Herrmann and Johanna Abraham Foundation, which converted the hotel into a children's home for socially disadvantaged Jewish children from Berlin, Silesia and Saxony.

Public property and vacation home 1951 - 1994

In 1951, the property became the property of the people, Ministry of the Interior, Main Department of the German People's Police, Department of Public Health. This also changed the name of the house to the vacation home "Haus Thälmann". From then until reunification, it served as a vacation home for members of the People's Police. After reunification, the home was managed by a tenant for a short time and then stood empty for several years.
