biography

Oltmanns was born as the oldest of four children of a pastor and a kindergarten teacher. As a boy, he helped his father distribute warm clothes at the Emden seaman's home at Christmas. At the age of 18 he came to Hamburg. He did his community service and a voluntary social year at the German Seemannsmission in Altona. At the beginning of 1978 he went to Bremerhaven and worked in the seaman's club "Gute Stube", which had opened a few months earlier in the container port . This was followed by studies with a focus on youth work at the Protestant University of Applied Sciences for Social Pedagogy as well as training as a deacon at the Rauhen Haus .

He applied as an on-board supervisor at the German Seamen's Mission Hamburg-Harburg. Instead, he was entrusted with setting up the Duckdalben International Seaman's Club , which he took over in March 1986 and has held since then together with deacon Anke Wibel. From the opening to the end of 2018, more than 1,000,000 guests from more than 100 countries around the world have visited the club.
