General view
by STEINMEYER, Johann Gottfried, Photo
When Prince Malte of Putbus enlarged his town on the island of R�gen into a princely seat from 1815, ha had the civic areas laid out by Johann Gottfried Steinmeyer as a “white town” with whitewashed houses. The central “square” is the Circus, which is ringed by condominiums. The plain two- and three-story houses are decorated with cautious stylistic borrowings from Neoclassicism and the Gothic Revival, and generous amounts of green have been left between them.
