Ahlbeck is a village ('' Ortsteil'') of the Heringsdorf, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Heringsdorf municipality on the island of Usedom on the Baltic Sea, Baltic coast. It is the easternmost of the so-called ''Kaiserbäder'' ("Imperial Spas") seaside resorts on the Germany, German part of the island, situated right next to the border with Poland and the town of Świnoujście (''Swinemünde''). Both communities are freely connected by the longest Esplanade, beach promenade in Europe spanning more than from Bansin to Świnoujście.
First mentioned as ''Ahlebeck'' (Low German Language, Low German for 'eel creek') in 1693, fishermen settled the side after Usedom had passed under Brandenburg-Prussian rule upon the 1720 Treaties of Stockholm (Great Northern War), Treaty of Stockholm. In the 19th century, the settlement quickly rose to a stylish seaside resort.
Major attractions include the famous long ''Ahlbeck Pier, Seebrücke'' and the oldest preserved pier in Germany. Ahlbeck has numerous scenic houses and mansions in the German ''Gründerzeit'' style of resort architecture. The bathing resort ''OstseeTherme'' is a popular tourist attraction; close to it, there is the architecturally noteworthy Observation Tower Ahlbeck with three observation decks and an elevator.
