Restaurant "Inselparadies", Protected restaurant in Baabe, Germany.
Restaurant Inselparadies is a dining venue with a distinctive architectural design on the seafront promenade. The structure features a shell-shaped roof made of curved concrete and expansive windows that frame views of the water.
The site originally held a bathhouse from the early 20th century, which was repurposed as a hotel after World War II. The current building was constructed in 1966 using modern shell construction techniques.
The name reflects the island's role as a holiday destination on the Baltic coast. Visitors notice how the building stands out through its bold design while belonging naturally to this seaside setting.
The restaurant seats around 60 guests and is easily accessed from the beachside promenade. Large windows and an outdoor terrace allow diners to enjoy meals while viewing the sea.
Engineer Ulrich Müther designed this building with hyperbolic paraboloid shells, a concrete construction technique that gained international recognition. This method allowed for both structural strength and open, spacious interior spaces.
