In the closing hours of the Second World War, several ships, including SS Cap Arcona, were sunk in the bay to the South of Neustadt. Almost 7,000 passengers from two of these ships, survivors of concentration camps, drowned swimming in 45-degree (Fahrenheit; 12.3 degrees Celsius) water toward the lighthouse on the Pelzerhaken shore or were shot by the Schutzstaffel upon reaching the shore. All passengers from a third ship, the SS Deutschland, survived.
