Young fishing school
The young fishing school in Bremerhaven existed from 1957 to 1962 in Fischereihafen II and served the training of deep-sea fishermen .
history
In view of the precarious shortage of young people on the fish steamers , the Bremerhaven- based Association of German Deep Sea Fisheries urged the city to establish a school for the systematic training of deep sea fishermen.
The city administration complied with the wishes of the shipowners and built a schoolhouse with a boarding school “for all of Germany” ( Alfons Tallert ) on the sea dike north of Luneplate . The city, the Federal Republic of Germany , the State of Bremen and the shipowners each shared a quarter of the cost of 610,000 German marks . The city undertook to take care of the maintenance of the building, the running of the school and the salaries of the teaching and auxiliary staff. The shipowners' association should pay for the school inventory and food for the young fishermen .
In a three-month course, the young fishermen were taught everything they needed for deck service , fishing nets , ichthyology and any shore leave . Designed for 240 students, the school was never busy. In 1961 she had more teachers than students at times. The shipping association soon withdrew from funding the school.
The 25-minute film Hochseefischer was made around 1961 about the young fishing school .
