Heiligendamm

Germany / Mecklenburg-Vorpommern / Steffenshagen /
 resort, quarter (urban subdivision), draw only border

The seaside resort Heiligendamm, situated on the Baltic Sea coast, was founded in 1793 and is the oldest seaside spa in Germany. It is part of the town Bad Doberan in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

Because of the classicist white buildings lining its beach promenade, the town is also known as the "White Town by the Sea" (German: Die weiße Stadt am Meer). Today, the area by the sea is occupied by a five star hotel. A narrow gauge steam railway known as the "Molli" links Heiligendamm to Kühlungsborn and Bad Doberan.

On July 13, 2006, United States President George W. Bush stayed at Heiligendamm whilst on a state visit to see German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Stralsund.

In June 2007, Heiligendamm held the 33rd summit of G8 leaders.
