Wismar-Rostock-Stralsund Pilot Brotherhood
The Wismar-Rostock-Stralsund Pilot Brotherhood is the youngest of the nine pilot brotherhoods in the Federal Republic of Germany . Since 1990, the pilots of the large ports of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania have been organized as freelancers in the Wismar-Rostock-Stralsund Pilot Brotherhood .
Organization of the Pilot Brotherhood
With currently 35 members, the Wismar-Rostock-Stralsund pilot association is one of the smaller of the nine pilot associations in the Federal Republic of Germany. She is one of the seven maritime pilot brotherhoods and sends the respective chairman, the senior man , to represent the interests of the pilot brothers in the Federal Chamber of Pilots , which she joined in 1990. The office of the Wismar-Rostock-Stralsund Pilot Association is located in Warnemünde on Hohe Düne . The premises used by the Lotsenbrüderschaft are managed by the Lotsbetriebsverein e. V. maintain and manage. In the area of the Wismar-Rostock-Stralsund Pilots Brotherhood, the transfer service, i.e. bringing the sea pilots on board and picking them up, is not, as is usual with most of the maritime pilots' brotherhoods, guaranteed by the pilotage association, but by a private provider.
history
Pilots were already mentioned in the German Baltic Sea region in the Middle Ages . A document from the Duke of Pomerania , Wartislaw III. , mentions a pilot station on the island of Ruden for the first time .
A Swedish-Pomeranian ordinance in 1691 defined all lot stations on Rügen in the extended order for seafarers and pilots at Ruden, Mönchgut, Tressau, Görne, on the Perd and at Peenemünde . In 1729, the pilotage in Warnemünde and Stralsund and the necessary qualification of the pilot were regulated by royal decree. In 1811 two pilots from Ruden were awarded by the Swedish king for rescuing shipwrecked people.
In 1863 the brig Louise had an accident east of Warnemünde. The city of Rostock then bought two rowing lifeboats. The commander of the Warnemünder Pilots, Stephan Jantzen , was also the foreman of the rescue company and in the course of his 30 years of activity rescued over 100 people from distress during rescue operations. An icebreaker was named after the pilot commander Jantzen from Warnemünde in 1967 : Stephan Jantzen (ship) . Today a park in Warnemünde bears his name.
Until 1989, piloting on the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania coast was guaranteed by the GDR's dredging, towing and salvage shipping company Rostock .
Pilot area
Pilots designate the sea area and the routes within their area of responsibility as a district . The members of the pilot association are responsible for the three pilot areas Wismar , Rostock and Stralsund . Thus, they perform pilotage tasks at these three ports and the offshore sea area. Nine pilots are currently stationed in Wismar, 15 in Rostock and ten in Stralsund. In addition to piloting to and from the ports mentioned, you are responsible for the ports on the Greifswalder Bodden , in Sassnitz , Mukran , Warnemünde and on the Warnow as well as the Peene River .
