history

Fish auction hall Kiel

The Kiel fish hall at the Seegartenbrücken was opened in 1910 to concentrate the fish trade in one place and to make it independent of the weather. The representative building with the high roof was designed by the town planning officer Georg Pauly . Inside there were two 8 m long basins around which the fishermen set up their stalls. Outside there were 30 individually accessible shops. However, the new hall did not meet expectations: it was too small for auctions and the shops and stands did not find tenants.

Vacancy and museum

After the hall survived the Second World War without damage, it lost its function when the fish market moved to the Schwentine estuary in 1948. After a long period of vacancy, it was decided to demolish the building in 1966, but not carried out. In 1972 the building was placed under monument protection and entered in the list of cultural monuments of the city of Kiel.

The Maritime Museum was opened on April 30, 1978. On April 25, 2014, after the renovation work started in 2010, the museum was officially reopened with a new exhibition. The permanent exhibition focuses on Kiel's fishing history, the Kiel Canal, marine paintings and numerous ship models as well as nautical equipment. The exhibits also include a wreckage segment of the small submarine Seehund , which was salvaged from the Kiel Fjord in 1995 when the third ferry terminal was being built.

Special exhibitions

After another renovation at the beginning of 2018 in almost the entire museum area, the previous focus topics of the special exhibition on the 100th anniversary of the Kiel sailors' uprising , which opened on May 6, 2018 and ran until March 17, 2019, gave way.
