In Sandersdorf, the former campsite cinema known as the 'Tin Box' remains a cherished memory for permanent campers. The structure, with its characteristic arched halls made of corrugated metal, was built in the late 1950s and served as a meeting point and entertainment venue for vacationers, children, and locals. The cinema was part of a program to provide entertainment for campers, especially along the Baltic coast, and operated even in bad weather.
