History
The place was a sea port, as in 1464 the city Treptow an der Rega received permission to build a new seaport on the newly created outflow Rega. The previous Rega at Travemünde was blocked by border disputes vessel traffic. The new harbor silted up later, and larger vessels were forced to go on the roads in front of the harbor.
In the 1920s Deep was a small fishing village and a modest premier seaside resort with a gravel -free sand beach and some hotels and inns. Around 1925 Deep had 380 inhabitants, and in the leisure hotels (hotels, guest houses, bed and breakfast ) lodged annually about 2500 bathers. The small picturesque town on the left and right of the shelf with its simple but clean Büdnerhäusern and fishing huts attracted artists.
Between 1891 and 1936, Lyonel Feininger regularly spent his summer holidays on the Baltic Sea. He lived from 1924 to 1935 with his wife Julia and their sons Andrew, Laurence and Lux usually from May to September in Deep before he had to leave Germany in 1937 for political reasons. In Deep Feininger received numerous suggestions for his work with beach, sea and ship designs, including: Yacht Race ( 1925), Stiller day at sea (1926 ), Rega mouth I and Rega mouth II ( 1927), The large cutter Class (1929 ) Deep, Sunset (1930 ), Western Deep ( 1931), dunes on the beach (1936 ), Black wave (1937 ), dunes ( coast Deep, 1945), The Baltic ( The Baltic Sea, 1947). In a letter from American exile Feininger wrote to his painter - friend Georg Muche: " ... but for us in this country nowhere a ' Baltic ' summer residence granted. We crave often intemperate after our old, months extensive recreational trips in Deep. " Thirty of his paintings and drawings deal with the ruins of St. Nicholas Church in Baltic ad Hoff ( Trzęsacz ).
On May 12, 1945 Deep was occupied by the Red Army, which had just eight days earlier taken Treptow an der Rega. If they had not already fled, the German civilian population was expelled after the war due to the Bierut Decrees.
