- (Prora) Also known as the Colossus of Prora, it is a huge complex of buildings on the island of Rügen, Germany, that was built by Nazi Germany between 1936 and 1939 as a beach complex of the Strength Through Joy (Kraft durch Freude or KdF) project. It consisted of eight identical buildings and was 4.5 km long parallel to the beach, with the surviving structures extending for 3.0 km. Although the buildings were planned as a resort, construction was not completed and they were not used for this purpose. After World War II, the complex found various military uses, first by the Soviet Army, then by the East German Volksarmee and then by the German Bundeswehr. Today it houses a large youth hostel, a hotel and vacation apartments. The complex is a particularly striking example of Third Reich architecture.
Examples of use in Spanish: "Prora, la ciudad de vacaciones que proyectó Hitler".
