Sassnitz, Port settlement and resort town in Vorpommern-Rügen District, Germany.

The town of Sassnitz extends along the Baltic Sea coast, featuring a harbor, beach promenade, and direct access to Jasmund National Park's chalk cliffs.

Originally a fishing village, Sassnitz merged with the farming village of Crampas in 1906, marking the beginning of its development into a municipality.

The Kulturschaffende organization coordinates local folk dances, summer concerts, and the annual Sassnitz Carnival, maintaining regional traditions and community engagement.

The ferry port connects travelers to Sweden and Baltic states, while the train station provides regular service to mainland destinations including Berlin.

The decommissioned British submarine HMS Otus functions as a floating museum in Sassnitz harbor, offering visitors insights into naval operations.
