history

Fishing port (2012)

The area of what is now the Fischereihafen district was in Geestemünde and Wulsdorf. Wulsdorf came to Geestemünde in 1920, which became a district of Wesermünde in 1924 and of Bremerhaven in 1947. "Fischereihafen" has been a district of Bremerhaven since 1971.

The center of German deep-sea fishing in the Bremerhaven region developed from 1885 with the steam drive of ships and net winches . With the tradition of seafaring and shipbuilding of world renown, the growing industrial location on the German Bight offered itself . The town's fish market was fed by local, Dutch , English and Danish fishermen. On their clumsy sailing cutters , the ship's crews had to withstand tides , unfavorable winds , storms , fog , drift ice and high seas . Climatic adversities, the captain's fishing skills and changing revenues made fishing a risky and profitable undertaking for both seafarers and the fishing industry. This changed fundamentally with the steam engines .

The fish wholesaler and shipowner Friedrich Busse sent the fish steamer Sagitta on a fishing trip in 1885 , and other ships followed. Busse thus marked an industrial structural change from which (unlike today) everyone involved benefited. The abundant steam provided heated crew quarters , warm bunks and dry work clothes - a level of comfort never seen on sailing ships ; however, the yield could not be increased with the traditional fishing nets. Therefore the English trawling was introduced. It proved to be very successful and resulted in many replicas of the Sagitta . Growing landings required expansion of ports and shipyards . The railway carried huge mountains of coal to the quays .

The First World War restricted access to the fishing grounds. Many fish steamers were used by the Imperial Navy during this time as outpost boats or auxiliary mine sweepers , some of which were lost. After the end of the war, the lack of food led to a renewed concentration on sea fishing; because, unlike agriculture , it could “reap” immediately. The "currency fish" has also proven itself in recent history: When the fishing nation Iceland became insolvent overnight in the wake of the global economic crisis , deep-sea fishing with food from the sea again offered the immediate solution: Icelandic fishermen landed specifically in international destinations for cash Ports. The year before, they had put their country at number 1 on the Human Development Index . At that time the last German deep-sea trawler was sold in Bremerhaven . While Iceland is recovering thanks to its fishing and geothermal energy and is looking to a secure future, access to the marine resources has become a parcour for German fishermen . In the 1950s, German deep-sea fishing covered a good 90% of the demand in (West) Germany; today it is only 15%.

In 1891 the first fish steamers fished off Iceland . In 1894 six fishing boats with 61 seamen were lost in the storm, the Sagitta sank in 1901 with all seamen off Iceland and in 1903 seven steamers with a crew of 65 sank.

The fishing license plate for the side catchers was PG = Prussia Geestemünde until 1948 . There is a dispute about the reasons for the BX that has been running since then .

Fishing port I

The first German fish steamer was the PG 21 Dolphin . A ship model is in the German Maritime Museum . The ship was 25 meters long, had an open bridge and was fishing with beam trawls . The ship's engine developed 275 hp . Became known Friedrich bus Sagitta , the 1885 fishing expired. The ship was unloaded on the west side of the old port - in Bremerhaven. A first fish market developed there; the first auction took place in Geestemünde on the bank of the Geeste in 1888. In 1892 a fish auction hall went into operation at the Old Harbor.

opening

Hotel Hanover

In competition with Bremerhaven, Theodor Hoebel built fishing port I in Geestemünde from 1891 . It was opened on November 1, 1896 after a service in the Christ Church in Bremerhaven-Geestemünde . The Prussian state government was represented by State Secretary Karl Heinrich von Boetticher , Minister Karl von Thielen , Your Excellencies Otto Baensch and Alfred Schultz and the Geh. Upper Government Councilors v. Friedberg, Carl Schweckendieck , Löhning and Hauß. A parade of ships drove from the Geeste into the Weser and, after turning, into the fishing port. Run by the government steamer Ajax , the tug Assecuradeur and the Sagitta , the parade consisted of the fishing steamers Georg , Grete , Minna , Betty , Georg Siebs , Wangeroog and Butjadingen, some of which came from the sea, and the Union's ferry boats. 120 people took part in the official meal in the “Hotel Hannover”.

Infrastructure

At the same time, a seaman's home was also built in Geestemünde . The tracks of the fish shipping station completed in 1896 ended in front of him . The Tecklenborg shipyard opened a slipway for fishing vessels at the southern end of the fishing port . In the Royal Prussian Maritime Engineers School in Geestemünde on Bülowstrasse, the mechanics of the fish steamers were also trained from 1899. In 1903 the marine machinist school was also founded in Geestemünde. In 1904 clip fish production was introduced. In 1905 a fish steamer cleared the first catch from the Barents Sea in the Arctic Ocean. In 1908 the Fischereihafen-Betriebsgenossenschaft (FBG) took over the extinguishing work, which until then had to be carried out by the crews themselves.

Transport links

Since 1908, line 4 of the Bremerhaven tram - the so-called "Fischbahn" - ran for many years only as a shuttle service from the Weserlust (behind the Wulsdorf ramp) to the fishing port. Operations ceased in 1959. With the construction of the new Wulsdorf ramp in the course of Bundesstraße 6 , the tracks on line 3 to Wulsdorf were also eliminated.

meaning

In 1913 there were 93 fish steamers at home in Geestemünde and in 1924 there were 155. In 1916 there were 60 fish wholesalers, twelve mariners , four fish meal factories , three ice cream factories and a smokehouse . The operation in the fishing port developed very quickly. Geestemünde experienced rapid growth and became a town in 1913.

In 1919 the Institute for Sea Fisheries was founded in Geestemünde as a forerunner of today's Alfred Wegener Institute . In 1920 Wulsdorf was incorporated into Geestemünde in order to enlarge the fishing port. In 1920 the fish shipping station (Geestemünde) was built . From 1921 to 1925 the construction of the fishing port II took place. For this purpose the Weser arm Alte Weser was cut off from the main stream and thus the former Weser island Luneplate from the mainland. First of all, from 1921, the new double lock (Bremerhaven) was built to the fishing port. This was followed by the construction of the harbor basins, largely in the area of the old arm of the Weser. In addition, areas were also reserved on Luneplate at this time. At the same time, a natural open-air swimming pool was built on Neuer Lunesiel in 1924. In 1925 the expansion of the fish harbor with the new sea dike was completed.

In 1922 the first German fishing fair took place. 1923 strike , the fish workers and again in 1932. In addition, was the first trawler the Wilhelm Reinhold a radio receiver system.

In 1924 Geestemünde became part of the new city of Wesermünde with the fishing port and Lehe . 155 fish steamers were based in the fish harbor. In 1930 a connecting canal between the fishing and trading port was built. In the 1920s and 1930s, special fish trains supplied the Reich, up to 45 trains per week in peak weeks. Deep sea fishing experienced a growing boom. In 1930 Prussia and Bremen decided to found the Fischereihafen-Wesermünde-Bremerhaven-GmbH, in which the previous Fischereihafen-Betriebsgenossenschaft was merged. Prussia holds 50% of the shares in the AG. In 1935 the remaining fishing port on the west side of the old port was abandoned. The 1927 cold store was only demolished in 1975.

From 1935 onwards, whaling also increased. Therefore, in 1936, the First German Whaling Corporation was founded . By 1939, seven whaling fleets, each with a mother ship and 56 fishing steamers, had been built and used; it was the third largest fleet internationally. The Jan Wellem whaling factory ship became famous . Auction hall XI was completed in 1937.

In 1938 the Bremen city of Bremerhaven (now in the center ) came to Wesermünde in the Prussian province of Hanover .

The Unterweser AG built trawlers and delivered 1926 Gylli with 650 hp engine power to an Icelandic shipping company. The residential water tower Wulsdorf from 1927 served to supply the fishing port with water.

Geestemünde and Bremerhaven agreed in a Prussian-Bremen State Treaty in 1930 on the joint management of the fishing ports, which led to the fishing industry in the old port of Bremerhaven being given up and the last auction taking place in 1935. The Fischereihafen-Wesermünde-Bremerhaven-GmbH was founded .

In 1932 the crews of the fish steamer and the fish workers on land went on strike. In 1933, the Canal Bridge-Fishery Harbor ferry ceased operations. The "Nordsee" Deutsche Hochseefischerei AG from 1894 relocated to Nordenham and after 1950 it came to Unilever . Auction hall XI was completed in 1937.

The fishing port was the most important on the European continent in 1938. 21 shipping companies operated a total of 193 fish steamers here. 194 fish wholesalers and 56 fish industry companies process 280,000 tons of fish.

During the Second World War , fishing fell considerably due to the war. Many fish steamers were outpost boats . On June 24, 1944, the fishing port and the Seebeck shipyard were badly hit by one of the air raids on Wesermünde .

Auction turnover and number of companies

The fishing port of Geestemünde or from 1924 Wesermünde had the following development from 1913 to 1933:

year	Fresh fish auction sales		Number of companies			Fish steamer
	Hundredweight	1000 RM	Shipping company	Fish wholesale	Fishing industry	home	starting regularly

1933	2,843,000	21,200	20th	152	39	124	188

After 1945

In 1947 the city of Wesermünde was incorporated into the state of Bremen and renamed Bremerhaven.

Since 1946 fish steamers up to 400 GRT have been allowed to be built in Germany again . In December 1948 the first trawler built in Bremerhaven, the 392 GRT Auguste Kämpf, was launched . In 1949 the former Seefischmarkt Wesermünde GmbH was called Fischereihafen-Betriebsgesellschaft mbH Bremerhaven . The first fish auctions took place again since March 1949. As early as October 1949, 23.5 tons of fish were cleared in one day, a new record. The harbor picked up, so that in 1950 118 fish steamers with 50,735 GRT were stationed here, that is 51% of the German fishing fleet. Again there is a German fishing fair. In 1950 the auction hall X-Nord was built. The Day of the Deep Sea Fisherman took place for the first time in 1953 and again in 1955. In 1955, the fishing research vessel Anton Dohrn was put into service in the presence of Federal President Theodor Heuss . The amount of fresh fish landed in 1957 reached 229,000 tons, the level of the late 1930s. By 1967 this amount had halved to 114,000 tons. By 1995 it had dropped to 18,500 tons. Even deep-frozen fish could not compensate for this drop in volume, although the range had grown from 52,000 to 114,000 tons in the 28 years. Shortly after the heyday - from 1957 to 1962 - the young fishing school existed on the sea dike. Until the 1960s, the fishing port was the largest on mainland Europe. So part of Grimsby with the largest fishing port in Britain to Bremerhaven's twin cities. Even today, the fishing port is the most important in Germany, which has earned the city the nickname Fishtown . Depending on the earnings situation, politicians rename the fishing port to a food , offshore or scientific port .

Decline

In 1967 there were still 85 side catchers with 78,000 GRT and 21 loggers stationed in Bremerhaven. With the advent of factory ships , the importance of Bremerhaven's fishing port declined, especially since the fishing port of Cuxhaven seemed more advantageous to some shipping companies . The just electrified freight and fish station in Geestemünde was hardly used and was dismantled from 1976.

In 1968 the Rickmers shipyard began its ship repair business in the fishing port and in 1972 it set up a floating dock. The oldest fishing shipping company, Friedrich Busse, celebrated its 100th anniversary. In 1971 the fishing port and its operating company were 75 years old and the North Sea - at that time the largest fishing company in Europe - could look back on 75 years of operation. The North Sea Fisheries Museum was 50 years old.

In 1971 the fishing port became a district when Bremerhaven was redistributed. The seaman's home closed its doors in 1979. In February 1981 the deep-sea fishermen protested against the fisheries policy of the European Economic Community by blocking the fishing port . In 1983 the Bremerhaven central sewage treatment plant went into operation for 630,000 EGW at the Luneort near the former Lunesiel. The ZKA cost 96 million marks. 1985 on 1/2. April achieved the highest daily sum in the world at a fish auction of 1 million marks. In 1987, around 35,000 visitors took part in Fish Day (August 23). In 1987 the Lunesiel in the south of the fishing port had become obsolete with the construction of a new sewer near Büttel .

In 2008 the area of the actual fishing port comprised approx. 450 ha, covered by approx. 150 hectares of water are surrounded. Due to the incorporation of Luneplate as a district and the Reithufer area into the Fischereihafen district in 2010 through a state treaty with Lower Saxony, the area of the district grew by 1506 ha.

A maritime adventure world around the fish and the sea can be found around the fishing port I in the shop window of the fishing port with the fish station and the exhibition "Expedition North Seas - Fishery Worlds Bremerhaven". The Fischereihafen showcase was launched in the 1990s by Fischereihafen-Betriebsgesellschaft mbH and offers visitors interesting facts about fish and the sea as well as an insight into the handling and processing of fish in a historical setting:

Marketplace
Exhibition "Expedition North Seas"
In the former Fischpackhalle IV there are restaurants, harbor bars and shops with maritime accessories and fish.

Packing hall X and XIV in the fishing port from 1928/29 and 1939/40. The buildings have been a listed building in Bremen since 2013 .

Economy and Infrastructure

Economic character, company

The district is economically shaped by the fish and food industry and a shipyard. In the last few years an important industry for wind farms and offshore structures has established itself. Whether Adwen's wind power plant in Luneort will be preserved (as of mid-June 2017) seems doubtful.

In the early days of the fishing port, fish was sold to traders directly off board the fishing ships - the owners of the fishing ships were often also traders. In the course of its more than 100-year history, the fishing port has continued to develop. The Wulsdorf residential water tower was built in 1927 to meet the fishing port's rapidly increasing demand for water .

The first fish auction took place on June 13, 1888. It was the only way to stop price fixing among fishers and fish dealers. The auctioneers were a magnet for visitors in the early hours of the morning because of their barely understandable, but rapid speech.

After the original use of fishing port I had declined more and more, the showcase fishing port with the Atlanticum adventure center (aquarium and fishing museum) in the authentic surroundings of fishing port I was realized in 5 stages on approx. 12 hectares from the end of 1990. In the Schaufenster Fischereihafen there are a number of fish restaurants with a view of ships. The name of the Schaufenster Fischereihafen comes from the fact that you can watch the processing of fish (e.g. smoking) and buy the fish there.

In the past, fresh fish was handled in the fishing port; today mostly frost fish are delivered. Food processing emerged from the turnover as a strong branch of the food industry with a focus on the processing of fish and frozen food (fish, vegetables, ready meals).

Large companies in the food industry are Frozen Fish International , Frosta and the Deutsche See company . Small and medium-sized businesses in the fish trade (trade, smokehouse, storage) are less numerous than before. Of the shipyards themselves who SSW Schichau Seebeck Shipyard received; he specializes in conversions, section construction and new construction of small container ships . Tourism and gastronomy are of considerable importance . Well known are the Fischereihafen-Restaurant Natusch and the Comfort-Hotel in the Schaufenster Fischereihafen .

Last remaining in the fishing port shipbuilding OPERATION is to Petram group belonging Bredo .

traffic

Road traffic

Several BremerhavenBus bus lines now connect the district with Geestemünde , Wulsdorf , Mitte and Lehe .

The district can be reached by car via Bundesstraße 6 , Bundesstraße 71 and Bundesautobahn 27 (interchanges Bremerhaven-Süd, -Wulsdorf and -Geestemünde).

Ferries

Fishing port ferry

The first ferry in Fischereihafen II was a rowboat , the “Groschenfähre”. In 1949 it was replaced by a car ferry that shuttled between Hall XV and the sea dike (pier: west ferry). At the instigation of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Hanseatic City of Bremen had agreed to offer this service free of charge. There was no obligation under waterway law to do so. The ferry was used by workers from the fishing industry and residents of the Ehrensberger camp, namely refugees and resettlers.

The ship, built by Kremer & Sohn in Elmshorn in 1916, was in service in Wilhelmshaven until 1948. It was completely overhauled in 1972/73. With a carrying capacity of 38 tons, the ferry carried an average of 130,000 passengers, 29,000 passenger cars and 9,000 delivery vans per year. It ran every 15 minutes until 2 p.m. on weekdays and Saturdays. The ferry service was discontinued in 1983.

From 1931 to 1933 a ferry drove from the Fischereihafen restaurant to the canal bridge in the main canal. The ferry boat was operated by the Bremerhaven-Wesermünde A.-G.
