The President Freiherr von Maltzahn ( fishing identification : HF 294) is a deep sea fishing cutter . The ship has been owned by the Museum Harbor Oevelgönne eV since 1983
The President Freiherr von Maltzahn under Holst and Fock
In 1928 the Finkenwerder deep-sea fishing cutter HF.294 ran at the Sietas shipyard in Hamburg-Neuenfelde . as the last of its type on the stack. The clients, the Finkenwerder fishermen Holst and Fock, named him President Baron von Maltzahn after the President of the Rügen Fisheries Association, Hans Jaspar von Maltzahn , who died in a plane crash while doing his job .
The President Freiherr von Maltzahn was built according to traditional sailing lines, but, following the advancing machine age, had an additional drive motor and a fixed wheelhouse from the beginning.
The new owner Johnny Lohse
In 1933 the ship was sold to the Cuxhaven sea fisherman Johnny Lohse, who closed the Bünn in 1936 and had an ice room built in instead. Lohse operated the President Freiherr von Maltzahn - apart from his war mission as a mine fisherman - until his death in the 1960s as a North Sea fishing cutter under the fishing code NC 274.
After that, the President Freiherr von Maltzahn passed through many hands and visibly deteriorated. After all, the ship lay as a cannibalized wreck in Wischhafen , overturned one day and ran full.
The restoration of the President Baron von Maltzahn
After a first attempt at restoration in Friedrichskoog , it was acquired in 1983 by the Oevelgönne Museum Harbor.
From 1984 to 1989, the ship was extensively renovated and reconstructed as a sailing Finkenwerder deep-sea cutter under the supervision of shipyard senior Joachim Behrens by ABM forces, members of the friends' association and the museum harbor at the Behrens shipyard . All overwater planks, all deck beams and the entire deck were renewed. A donated engine system was installed and the superstructure was restored.
The President Freiherr von Maltzahn was originally built as a motor sailer, that is, the ship was rigged and therefore had no middle sword. That should be different with the restoration, because there were no doubts about the good sailing characteristics. The plan of the sail of the deep-sea cutter Louis and Emma served as a template with a total sail area of 208 m², spread over one and a half masts. The term cutter therefore refers here to the hull and not to the rigging.
On April 15, 1989, the President Freiherr von Maltzahn was launched for the second time - just in time for the 800th Hamburg port birthday - and has been sailing on the Elbe, North and Baltic Seas since then - continuously restored by a volunteer and unpaid crew consisting of members of the museum harbor Oevelgönne.
Current
After 1996, 2000 and 2004, the President Freiherr von Maltzahn also took part in 2012 - after a long stay in the shipyard in Egernsund - in the four-year sailors' meeting in Brest . Since the museum harbor Oevelgönne and thus also the President Freiherr von Maltzahn are not funded by official funds, all maintenance costs have to be covered by charter trips and donations.
