Bansin

Bansin is a municipality on the Baltic Sea island of Usedom in the federal state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. It is one of Germany's oldest seaside resorts and forms part of the trio known as the Kaiserbäder, together with Heringsdorf and Ahlbeck.

Situated on the island's northwest coast, Bansin lies between Heringsdorf to the east and Ahlbeck to the west. It is part of the Vorpommern-Greifswald district in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and lies near the border with Poland.

Bansin developed as a spa and holiday resort in the late 19th century and features an ensemble of historic villas and hotels along its coastal promenade. The built environment preserves the Wilhelminian architectural style that characterized the Kaiserbäder era.

Today, tourism is the town's main economic activity. Visitors come for the sandy beach, promenades, and spa facilities, as well as the well-preserved historic architecture. The town hosts cultural events during the summer and serves as a gateway to Usedom's coastal landscapes.

Bansin is accessible by road and by rail. It lies on the Usedom Island railway line, served by the Usedomer Bäderbahn coastal service that connects the Kaiserbäder, providing easy access from nearby towns and mainland connections.
