It almost sounds like an old legend. The landscape artist Paul Müller-Kaempff (1861-1941) and a friend, the animal painter Oskar Frenzel (1855-1915), when walking along the high bank, unexpectedly discover the small fishing village of Ahrenshoop, which lies undisturbed in a fairy-tale slumber in a landscape of dunes. Müller-Kaempf says of this decisive moment in 1926: "We had no idea of its existence and looked in delight at this picture of peace and solitude. No one was to be seen; the roofs grey with age, the grey meadows and grey dunes gave the whole picture a character of the deepest seriousness and was completely unspoiled." (Mecklenburgische Monatshefte, 2 July, 1926, p. 333, quotation according to Negendanck 2011, p. 27)....
