Trassenheide is a seaside resort on the island of Usedom in the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, in Germany.
Trassenheide has approximately 1,000 inhabitants and tourism is the main source of income. The first documentary mention of Trassenheide was in 1786, first under the designation "mutton stable"; a large sheep stable had been established to protect herds of sheep against sudden flooding by the Baltic Sea. By 1840 there were 138 inhabitants. In 1908 the colony was named "Trassenheide". At this time tourism began. In 1928 Trassenheide was made an independent municipality. In August 1943 the place was heavily damaged with a bomb attack, aimed at the neighbouring Luftwaffe rocket research station in Peenemünde.
