2005, Heringsdorf took over the administration of
Ahlbeck and Bansin, and through a travel
advertising campaign that ran until 2006

"Dreikaiserbader" i.e. Three Imperial
Spas. The three towns that comprise Heringsdorf
municipality are often colloquially called the
"bathtub of Berlin". But before WWII
that colloquial name also applied to Swinoujscie
