Overview map

The Baltic Sea resort of Olpenitz , also known as Port Olpenitz , is a holiday park construction project . It is being built on the site of the former naval base in Olpenitz . Originally, 7,000 beds and 2,500 boat berths were planned. After the operator went bankrupt, Helma Ferienimmobilien GmbH took over the project. In July 2019, around 40 percent of the project was completed.

history

Naval base

About 1,850 soldiers were stationed at the base, which was opened in 1964. There were also around 450 civilian employees. In 2004 it was decided to close the location.

Planning Port Olpenitz

With the disappearance of the navy, Kappeln lost one of the largest employers. To compensate for this, Herbert Harm and his son Jaska suggested building a holiday village. In October 2006, Port Olpenitz GmbH bought the 168.7 hectare property. There were to be 7000 overnight places in more than 1000 holiday homes and several hotels as well as a marina with 2500 berths on the 152 hectare (with water surfaces and without Nordhaken) large area. Der Spiegel described the project in 2007 as “daring”.

The first model house, built in 2009. Today it is a Helma office.

The project was delayed due to disputes before the Schleswig Higher Administrative Court , in which the development plan was declared ineffective. After a few changes, those involved were able to agree on a development plan. The Nordhaken was not built on and became a nature reserve . At the start of construction in 2009, an anchor was sunk in the harbor basin to break the ground .

insolvency

In October 2011, Port Olpenitz GmbH had to file for bankruptcy after a dispute between managing director Jaska Harm and EQK Port Olpenitz Inc., which wanted to dispose of him in court, and because of debts of more than 27 million euros . The first construction phase was then divided among various investors.

The White Beach Villas are the first buildings built by Helma
Apartments in the Marina Lounge.

Helma Ferienimmobilien GmbH, a subsidiary of Helma Eigenheimbau , only acquired a smaller piece of land until it took over most of the project in 2013. The scope was significantly reduced and the name was changed to "Ostseeresort Olpenitz". Now only 2500 beds are planned.

Project

Initial planning

In the early stages of planning, there were a number of suggestions: The initially planned ski hall was replaced in 2007 by a multifunctional hill , also known as a leisure hill, with an area of ​​14.5 hectares due to strong criticism . Boat berths were to be created in this 32 meter high green reinforced concrete structure. In winter storage there should be space for about 2000 boats, which could be used as a parking lot in summer. In addition, there should be leisure activities such as a swimming pool , a cross-country ski run and bowling alley . On top of that, a lookout point with an inclined elevator should be built. In 2009, according to the court ruling, only a 20 meter high hill with a halved base area should be built. To the east, next to the multifunctional hill, another, slightly smaller hill was planned to house a boatyard. Holiday homes were to be built on this hill. In 2015 it became known that instead of the multifunctional hill there should only be simple boat sheds. The artificial islands and the swimming pool will probably not be built either. The space freed up by the abandonment of the artificial islands is to be used for the marina previously planned in the outer harbor.

Considerations to set up a ferry connection to Denmark have so far not come about.

Marina

In April 2012, the two companies Mittelmanns Werft and Eberhardt Maritimcenter signed a five-year contract with the insolvency administrator for a marina in the southwestern port basin. It was open in 2012 and 2013. In 2014 and 2015 the harbor basin was closed for demolition work. A new marina was opened in 2016.

Floating houses

floating houses

Helma began building 60 floating houses in 2015. They are to be located on four piers and have a floor area of ​​97 m² on two floors. 30 houses are already finished. In 2016, Helma fought for the first time in Germany for floating buildings to be entered in the land register before the Schleswig Higher Regional Court . This makes them just as affordable as real estate on land.

Skanlux holiday homes

At the beginning of 2017, the company Skanlux Huse started building 15 holiday homes in the south-western part with space for 12 to 24 people. 10 more are planned.

Sea rescue location

Since November 2018 the rescue cruiser of the German Society for Rescue of Shipwrecked People (DGzRS) Fritz Knack has been stationed in the Baltic Sea resort of Olpenitz.

Previously the station was in Maasholm, where the predecessor ship Nis Randers was stationed. In 2017 it was initially considered to move the ship to Olpenitz in order to be faster on the open Baltic Sea. In August it was announced that the move with the new rescue cruiser would not take place until 2018, when the new 20-meter class ship , which still had to be built, is ready. In contrast to the old rescue cruiser, it has no bunks , which is why apartments were built for the crew members in Olpenitz.
