German Maritime Day
The German Maritime Day (DST) is a forum for shipping , the maritime economy and everyone who feels they belong to the maritime sector. It is organized every three years at different locations by the German Nautical Association in cooperation with the respective local nautical associations. The importance of the German Maritime Days has been underlined since 1972 by the patronage of the respective Federal President .
With the aim of strengthening maritime awareness in Germany, the German Maritime Days will be supplemented by a "Maritime Showcase" with ship visits ( open ship ), exhibitions and other activities. This makes the event a special maritime event not only for the conference participants, but for the entire region.

The foundation stone for the first German Maritime Day was laid in 1909 by a joint association day of the German Nautical Association and the Association of German Sea Skippers Associations. The events held annually in Berlin until 1914 had quickly taken on the role of a “nautical parliament”. During the two-day deliberations, all of the pending issues relating to shipping were discussed in commissions. The Reich Government took up the proposals and recommendations that had been drawn up and, as a legislator, largely observed them in the deliberations. The initially somewhat derogatory term "German Shipping Day" quickly became a respected synonym for professional advice on pending topics in the maritime sector and on situation portrayals in shipping, shipbuilding, port management and the people and organizations working in this area.
After a forced break of six years caused by the First World War , a new beginning took place in Bremen in 1920 . The German Maritime Days continued to take place annually until 1928, but now at different locations. Then, due to economic constraints, the next event was repeatedly postponed for a year and finally put aside due to the political upheaval in 1933. Only towards the end of the 1950s, after the German Nautical Association resumed its work in 1954 and the Association of German Shipowners held a Maritime Day in 1957, was the tradition resumed in 1959 with the 16th German Maritime Day. This new beginning started again in Bremen and since then the German Maritime Day has been held every three years in changing port cities.
