When the Kaiserfahrt - a channel between the Swina river and the Lagoon of Szczecin - was completed after six years of construction in 1880, Kaseburg was isolated from the island of Usedom. A new island was created, which caused considerable disadvantages for the inhabitants of Kaseburg with regard to traffic. On the other hand, large ships could now continue their passage from Swinemünde to Stettin more easily.

The "Marina" in Kaseburg. You can dine in an excellent
restaurant directly at the old Swina river. There are also
bungalows (including a boat) to rent.
On the right: The church of Kaseburg. The present appearance
of the church was designed by Schinkel. In 1630, Gustav
Adolph, the King of Sweden, went ashore with a small but
powerful infantry unit near Peenemünde and advanced to the
mouth of the Swina river within a few days. Before
proceeding to Wollin, he stopped in Kaseburg, where he spent
the night in the house of the priest and had his breakfast
beneath the old chestnut trees. The imperial troops - led by
Wallenstein - who had plundered Pomerania previously,
withdrew quickly. Although troop movements did not stop, the
Swedish acted in a more disciplined manner and treated the
territory (which they already considered their property
despite protests from Brandenburg) with more care.
