The marina of the Naval School Mürwik on the Flensburg Fjord on the other side of the Flensburg harbor was built together with the Naval School until 1910. Today it is still used as a port for small boats and ships of the Navy. At least once a year the school's sailing training ship, the Gorch Fock, is docked at the boat harbor for a short time . Important parts of the marina were registered as cultural monuments of Mürwik .

history

The boat harbor with its boat stairs was built between 1907 and 1910 according to plans by Adalbert Kelm . A picture of the school with an early draft of the boat harbor is still in the fund of the Defense History Training Center .

Boat shed I on the water was expanded in the 1930s. Around 1937 another building, the engine factory, was built at the boat harbor. On May 28, 1936, Adolf Hitler visited the port in front of the Mürwik Naval School with the Aviso Grille . The top secret and therefore not public visit began with a tour of the naval school. In the evening Hitler took part in the night torpedo shooting of the armored ship Admiral Graf Spee , which arrived at the same time . Four years earlier, Hitler had already been to Flensburg (see Adolf Hitler's campaign appearance in the Flensburg stadium in 1932 ). After the special area Mürwik had been fully occupied on May 23, 1945 , the sailing yachts of the Mürwik Naval School were confiscated and transported away. Some of these ships came to Kiel , where they then sailed under the stand of the British Kiel Yacht Club (see Kieler Yacht Club ). The sailing training ship Albert Leo Schlageter (now Sagres ), which is also lying somewhere in Flensburg , was also confiscated in 1945.

After the Bundeswehr was founded in 1955, the training of naval officers at the naval school began again the following year. In 1958 and 1959, the Navy bought two twelve-meter racing yachts from the 1930s for the school, which were named Ostwind and Westwind and have since served as training sailing yachts. In 1959 the Gorch Fock was also put into service for the school's basic nautical training. The school ship received its home port in Kiel. The Gorch Fock made her first inaugural visit to Mürwik but apparently in the year of her commissioning. Gorch Fock also visited Flensburg in 1961, 1962, 1971, 1974, 1984 (for the 700th anniversary of the city in Flensburg harbor ) and 1994.

At the end of September 2005 the naval school sold the two training sailing yachts Westwind and Ostwind due to the costs of their maintenance. Nowadays the marina houses 27 sailing boats, nine motor boats, rowing and sailing cutters, two-man dinghies of the “Pirat” type, eight-meter sailing yachts of the “Nadine 24” type, ten-meter sailing yachts of the “Hanseat 70B” type and three over fifteen meters large yachts for school training.

Since the 2000s, the Gorch Fock has been in the boat harbor several times, which is, so to speak, her “command port”. To swearing the Navy officer candidates, which every year around the July 20, the day of resistance against Hitler , takes place on the Admiral meadow above the boat harbor, today it is tradition that the Gorch Fock is present. To visitors of days, such as the Heritage Day or the Open Day , which is repeatedly aligned in, at the marina usually short be pinnaces bus tours offered.

Facilities of the boat harbor

The boat shed I in the north and the boat house in the south, also known as the boat shed II, were registered as cultural monuments of Mürwik. The engine plant between the two boat halls was also registered. In addition, the boat stairs with the gate structures were entered. The long flight of stairs leads eastwards from the boat harbor to the plateau 20 meters higher on which the main building of the school stands. In the entrance of the water gate there is also the wooden statue of Prince Adalbert of Prussia , according to whose founding plans the Imperial Fleet was created in 1848 , the first all-German Navy in German naval history , which existed until 1853. Since 1853 he was Commander in Chief of the Prussian Navy . His statue was also registered as a cultural monument.

Below the north wing of the school, in the northern area of ​​the boat harbor, is the north pier with the north harbor. Right next to it, below the south wing of the school, is the south pier, also known as the Hansabrücke, with the south port. With the closure of the neighboring marine port (see Sonwik ), the old Blücherbrücke was abandoned. The Blücherbrücke was subsequently relocated in front of the naval school south of the south pier (Neue Blücherbrücke).

  • The Osbek flows into the fjord at the boat harbor .
  • At the beginning of the 1950s there was a rowing boat rental near the boat harbor. The Mürwiker open-air swimming pool was located north of the boat harbor .
  • The officer candidates from the Mürwik Naval School , who used to organize a “hot dog race” to Annie's kiosk with their sailing boats once a year, nicknamed their sailing destination on the other side of the river the Hotdoghavn (German: Hotdoghafen ).
  • The Gorch Fock training mast , which was erected in 2012, is not in the boat harbor, but above near the trampoline roof warehouse so that it can be reached via the boat stairs.
  • Every now and then, the establishment of a hiking trail along the boat harbor is required. The Navy rejects this. As an alternative, she set up a hiking trail from Sonwik up to Fördestraße.
