Well made 33mm diameter zinc pocket medal with the image of the Kühlungsborn town coat of arms and oak leaves and swastika on reverse. Likely later production. Engraved on reverse with Swimmfest 1939.

The town of Kühlungsborn was founded on April 1, 1938 with the merger of the three municipalities; Fulgen, Brunshaupten and Arendsee. On the town coat of arms, three flying seagulls on a blue background represent these former municipalities. It was a very popular see side resort for the leadership of the NSDAP.
