The island of Hiddensee is a former passenger ship of the White Fleet with its home port in Stralsund . Today it is in Hamburg as a film motif.
history
The island of Hiddensee was built on behalf of the cooperative shipping company Hiddensee at the Rostock Neptun shipyard . Almost a third of the purchase price of 147,728 Reichsmarks (which today corresponds to approx. 651,000 EUR adjusted for inflation) was financed by Reich grants. The launch took place on May 2, 1935. Due to inadequate control properties, the ship had to return to the shipyard for repairs after a trial period and could therefore only be put into service shortly before the end of the 1935 summer season. From 1936 the island of Hiddensee was used in the liner service between Stralsund and Hiddensee . In addition, excursions for the Saxon children's home in Wiek were carried out in accordance with the contract . At times she was chartered out to the Saßnitz steamship shipping company. From 1939 it was mainly used for the military stationed in Stralsund, while the number of civilian trips declined. In the last days of the Second World War , she was used to evacuate refugees from the island of Hiddensee .
After the war, the island of Hiddensee was used by the Red Army . From April 6, 1946, the cooperative shipping company was able to use the ship again for regular trips between Stralsund, Schaprode and Kloster and Vitte on Hiddensee. After that, Sunday traffic was reintroduced. From 1951 special trips, from 1952 charter trips for the DSU were carried out. The DSU used the island of Hiddensee in bathing traffic and for excursions between Rügen and Usedom .
A general overhaul took place at the Volkswerft Stralsund between autumn 1954 and the end of May 1955, during which the marine diesel engines were renewed in the Rostock diesel engine plant . On January 1, 1960, the island of Hiddensee was taken over by the Stralsund White Fleet and continued to be used in the liner service between Stralsund and Hiddensee. In 1964/65 new engines were installed at the Volkswerft and in 1965/66 the superstructures and interior fittings were renewed. After the privatization of the White Fleet in the 1990s, the ship was decommissioned and replaced in 1995 by a new building of the same name .
The island of Hiddensee has been operating under the name Hiddensee for a film production company in Reiherstieg in Hamburg since 2008 .
technology
The Hiddensee equipped with entry into service with two six-cylinder four-stroke diesel engines with a total output of 330 hp, which worked on two screws. This enabled a speed of 10.5 knots to be achieved. The diesel engines installed in 1964/65 had 225 hp each.
The ship was approved for 390 passengers. After the superstructure was renewed in 1965/66, sheltered seats were available for 409 passengers.
