Darß doors are ornately carved doors from the Darß in Mecklenburb, Western Pomerania. The Darß doors are closely associated with the flourishing of the Darß sailing industry in the late 18th century. With beautiful houses and their prestigious doors, the prosperity that arrived found its visible expression. However, the diverse motifs are not only intended to be decorative. They often conceal symbols that serve to protect the house. Hardly any door does without sun motifs. The symbol of life
