- From the 1880s until the ban of this practice in the 1970s, German vacationers built sandcastles, some of which were artfully decorated and awarded prizes in competitions by the spa administrations. Research regards this as a manifestation of a ‘typical German’ national character. The article counters this approach with an interpretation that understands sandcastles as metaphors for typical characteristics and principles of tourism, whose main feature is ambivalence. On the basis of the contrastive pairs familiarity - strangeness, proximity - distance, work - leisure, and centre - marginality, this ambivalence is carved out, and it is shown how it is applicable to the building of sandcastles since the late nineteenth century. At the same time, it is shown which meanings and functions sandcastles possessed in the respective historical contexts of the German Empire, the Weimar Republic and National Socialism.
