Binz pier, pier in Binz, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern

Binz pier is a wooden walkway extending into the Baltic Sea from the beachfront. The structure provides visitors with direct access over the water and features viewing points along its length toward the coastline and surrounding landscape.

The first pier opened on 22 July 1902: a 560-metre wooden structure with electric lighting and a restaurant at its head, built so that larger ships could dock directly. A storm surge destroyed it on the night of 30 to 31 December 1904. Its 1906 successor, named Prinz-Heinrich-Brücke in 1910, collapsed in 1942; the present 370-metre pier was inaugurated on 21 May 1994.

The 370-metre walkway is 3 metres wide and ends at a bridge head where the water is about 4 metres deep; excursion boats dock there. Benches and a mounted telescope stand at the far railing, and the entrance is marked by a metal gateway with a "Seebad Binz" sign.
