history

The cutter was built as one of the first structures in eastern Germany after the Second World War . It was built as hull number FK 09 at the Damgarten shipyard , where it was launched on April 28, 1949. After its entry into the cutter for fishing on was the North Sea and the Baltic Sea used, first with home port Saßnitz with the external identification SAS 95, later Stralsund with the registration STR 190 and last until 1969 with home port Wolgast under the sign WOG 115. fishing methods were trawling (single) or tuck fishing (in pairs); Mainly herring , plaice and cod were caught . The last owner was the fishing cooperative “Bolesław Bierut” in Ueckermünde .

After this last use in fishing, the scrapping threatened; there were also considerations of using the cutter either as a holiday ship or as a museum exhibit.

Ultimately, the owner of the cutter, who had bought it for the GDR's scrap value of 6,000 marks , sold the ship, including its equipment and accessories, to the then maritime museum in Stralsund in 1970 for a price of 40,000 marks. He was brought at sea from Ueckermünde to Stralsund. The cutter was transported from the Stralsund harbor with the help of a transport construction with skids made at the Volkswerft Stralsund on February 3, 1973 across the streets of the old town to the museum courtyard. Four heavy goods vehicles pulled the cutter on its sliding construction, numerous helpers prepared the way with sliding plates and soft soap; It took twelve hours to transport the 79-ton cutter from the port to the museum courtyard.

The cutter was set up in the yard of the Maritime Museum; Visitors can see the ship on a side-mounted walkway that can be reached by stairs. The cutter was provided with the lettering "Adolf Reichwein Sassnitz" and "SAS 95".

In 1996 and 1997, the cutter, which had suffered badly from the weather, was renovated with the help of a donation from the Sparkasse Hansestadt Stralsund and the Ostdeutsche Sparkassenstiftung on October 18, 1996 in the amount of 70,000 Deutsche Mark ; then he was put on his parking space in the north forecourt.

As for numerous other exhibits, the Marine Museum is also looking for sponsors for the cutter Adolf Reichwein , a sponsorship can be accepted for 3,000 euros .
