Museum harbor Greifswald
The museum harbor Greifswald is located northeast of the old town of the Hanseatic city of Greifswald am Ryck . With over 50 ships, it is the largest museum harbor in Germany.
history
The museum harbor emerged in the 1980s from the fishing tradition working group in the GDR cultural association . In this port group people interested in ships or owners of old ships gathered. Efforts to found a museum harbor in Greifswald regularly failed due to concerns of the SED about too many ships in the border area with Poland. After all, a meeting of old ships, at that time mostly Zeesboats , was organized in Greifswald as early as 1988 . It was the first gaff rig meeting and is held every year to this day.
After the fall of the Wall in 1990 , the city port in Greifswald was abandoned as a transshipment point and relocated to the former Volksmarine oil port in Greifswald- Ladebow , which enabled the city port to be used again. Connections were made to the museum harbor in Flensburg , so that the “Gaffelrigg” in Greifswald- Wieck in 1990 was held as a joint event of the museum harbors in Greifswald and Flensburg as a “German-German gaff mess”.
On February 23, 1991 the association Museumshafen Greifswald e. V. officially founded. As a non-profit association, it is responsible for the construction, operation and maintenance of a museum harbor in the Hanseatic city of Greifswald (according to the statutes).
Museum harbor today
In addition to the main event "Gaffelrigg", which regularly takes place every third weekend in July during the fishing festival of the Hanseatic city of Greifswald in Wieck , winter sailing has been established since 1996 .
The association has taken care of the monument protection of the last existing boatyard in Greifswald, the Buchholz shipyard. A specially founded association is now turning this shipyard into a technical museum with active operation as a "self-help workshop" for old ships.
