More about this scene
The bathing huts here were nearly the scene of a diplomatic incident in 1878. Alfred Price, son of the huts` owner, tried to stop a young man throwing stones at the huts, and a fight broke out. The young man turned out to be none other than Prince Frederick Wilhelm - later Kaiser Wilhelm II. The incident was hushed up, but in World War I Alfred Price became a local hero.
