history
When command of the three training facilities left by the Volksmarine was transferred to the German Navy on October 3, 1990 , the island of Dänholm was to be cleared as soon as possible and made available to the city of Stralsund. The Schwedenschanze should be the new naval school. Parow with the disbanded fleet school "Walter Steffens" should be left to the federal asset management.
However, considerable amounts of material, weapons and ammunition were still stored in Parow. In addition, the whereabouts of a few hundred non-commissioned officers had not yet been decided. Therefore, the service in Parow was continued. The Naval School Stralsund (MSS) with three teaching groups was created in the presence of Dirk Horten with the installation order dated October 5, 1990 :
- Teaching group A Schwedenschanze
- Teaching group B Parow
- Teaching group C Dänholm
The Minister for Disarmament and Defense of the GDR had notarized the Schwedenschanze to the newly founded "Berufsförderungswerk Stralsund GmbH" on October 2, 1990 ; the Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs had helped Rainer Eppelmann . The Federal Ministry of Defense was informed, but had not informed the Navy. Coordinates: 54 ° 21 '43.8 ″ N , 13 ° 4 ′ 47 ″ E At the beginning of its dismantling in October 1990, the training area of the former People's Navy comprised around 3,000 men at three fully equipped schools, a predominantly technical university, several hundred vehicles , School and traffic boats and other watercraft. In addition, there was equipment for 13,000 soldiers, large quantities of weapons, ammunition and fuels , stocks for vehicle technology and ship technology , chemical services, diving and pioneering activities as well as extensive facilities for the telecommunications and medical services . During ongoing training, staff had to be transferred or dismissed, social plans had to be drawn up, retraining developed, facilities dismantled, material removed or scrapped. The enactment situation was "extremely poor and unclear". The switch to the budget law of the Federal occurred until 1 January 1991st
When the Stralsund site administration began its service in 1991, the soldiers could be helped with reorientation, retraining, apprenticeship and job search through career advancement measures of various organizations.
Schwedenschanze
A modus vivendi was found in the legal limbo of the hill . Stralsund's Lord Mayor Harald Lastovka offered support in dismantling the officers' college . The working group around Captain Klaus Henning and the staff officers Harald Joester, Horst Riethmüller and Hans Müller developed division models for the Schwedenschanze, which were taken up by the Federal Ministry of Defense and the state government in Schwerin. On December 6, 1990 they met for a large group in the naval school. In agreement with the Ministry of Labor and the Ministry of Finance, a ministerial official of the Ministry of Defense demanded renegotiations with the GmbH; the partial compromise was reached in the same meeting with the participation of the representative of the Gomolka cabinet , the mayor and the education senator Ingelore Könemann († 2011). The Navy thus waived its usage plans. She agreed to leave essential parts of the teaching facilities and teaching aids to the institution of a technical college as a start-up aid and to maintain the part of the facility intended for her until the spring of 1991. The city could not bear this burden and the country could not create the formal conditions for a takeover earlier. This cleared the way for the establishment of the Stralsund University of Applied Sciences (since 2017 Stralsund University of Applied Sciences ). In addition to the professional development agency, she used the buildings on the Schwedenschanze after the opening on September 1, 1991.
Dänholm
1,808 Marines were sworn in on October 21, 1990 on the island . The service of training group C - the former ship master department named after Paul Blechschmidt - was to cease at the end of March 1991 as agreed. The property was supposed to accommodate the new site administration with professional development institutions.
Parov
After the decision on December 6, 1990, only Parow, the former naval school, remained for the new naval school. Holger Timm Petersen , the commander of the Stralsund naval school, made the fleet school the basis of the total dismantling in October 1990 and put it at the end of the dismantling. As a result, the German Navy continued to have the Parow property. Only because of this, could Dänholm be handed over to the city in the spring of 1991 and the planning of the marine technology school started. Including the Schwedenschanze, an overall solution had been achieved. The hopes cherished by the Navy and Harald Lastovska that the municipality of Kramerhof , to which Parow belongs, would be incorporated into Stralsund were not fulfilled. In return, the Hanseatic city was free of the sea after 383 years. The visitors of the Naval School Stralsund included the Supreme Allied Commander Atlantic Leon A. Edney , the Inspector of the Navy Hans-Joachim Mann and Federal President Richard von Weizsäcker .
When the naval school ended on June 30, 1991, 240 of the 3,300 soldiers of the Volksmarine were still on duty. This included the group of naval helicopters in Parow. A small detachment under Frigate Captain Morawitz took over the rest of the work. The advance command of the naval engineering school moved in 1992.
