history

The beginnings

The motor glider of the type Ich Verdiene , the first German series coastal ship type, was built in 1930 as Annemarie at the Nobiskrug shipyard in Rendsburg . On January 16, 1930, Captain Julius Penns from Burg , Dithmarschen gave the building contract for the new ship number 393 . The launch took place on June 5, 1930. The ship was named by Penn's nine-year-old daughter Annemarie, after whom the ship is named. On July 2nd, 1930 it was registered in Hamburg for Penns and handed over to its owner on July 12th by the shipyard. The first call sign was "RHQB". During the spring of 1935, the Annemarie was extended for the first time at her shipyard.

Wartime

On September 3, 1939, the Annemarie was recorded for the first time by the Navy Service in Hamburg as a supply vehicle for the Air Force and returned to the owner on October 25. The next recording followed on July 27, 1940 as a transporter for the Seelöwe company . The ship was used with the 280th Flotilla in Trouville under the designation H 2835 MK . The Annemarie was returned to her owner in the same year, but was already registered for military service on June 4, 1941. It was used again by the Navy as a transporter, but now with the Baltic Sea Trial Association and with a captain and crew. At some point in 1942 it was handed over to the leader of the minesweeper east, where it was registered as a mine vehicle in Kiel until the end of the war.

The formal transfer back to the owner took place on May 10, 1945. On June 4, 1948, the home port was relocated to Kiel and in the spring of 1953 the Nobiskrug shipyard extended the motor glider again and installed a more powerful engine. At the same time it was increased by 33 cm. 1954 Johannes Thode from Hamburg took over the ship as correspondent owner . Annemarie was sold to Wilfried Kruse on September 4, 1963, but Johannes Thode remained the correspondent owner until 1987. The Annemarie was not taken out of service until August 1991 and was intended to be demolished, but it was bought by Klaus Schaefer in 1992 for Makarenko Schiffahrts GmbH from Arnis in order to have it converted into a charter sailor at the Eberhard shipyard, which is also located in Arnis. There the fuselage was shortened again until 1996 and the superstructure apart from the masts was broken off. In May 2004 Annemarie was transferred to Sassnitz to be used by the non-profit Lohmer Haus Wildfang GmbH. Sassnitz now also became the new home port. On August 15, 2008, Annemarie was transferred to Rendsburg for restoration and the non-profit association Europäische Jugendhanse eV registered as the new owner. The Europäische Jugendhanse eV used a picture of Annemarie as a logo and had planned to use the sailor for educational work after its completion. By June 2010, with the help of some sponsors, the wheelhouse was restored. In the same year the ship was used for a special fire drill. After the rest of the restoration had stalled, the Annemarie was finally towed to Hamburg in August 2018. The demolition of the ship by Heiko Miersen GmbH in Hamburg-Moorburg began on November 1, 2018.
