The Juist lifeboat station is a base of the German Society for the Rescue of Shipwrecked People (DGzRS) on the North Sea island of Juist . In the event of an emergency at sea, the voluntary sea rescuers of the island temporarily manned the sea rescue boat (SRB) Hans Dittmer , which is waiting in the harbor on the south side of the island by a resident. As a rule, the alarm is issued by the DGzRS headquarters in Bremen, where the Bremen Sea Emergency Management (MRCC Bremen) constantly monitors all alarm routes for sea rescue.
The area of the sea rescuers is the Wadden Sea between the island and the East Frisian mainland . The island ferries, excursion boats and fishing trawlers can easily get stuck in the tide-dependent fairways towards Norderney , Norddeich and Borkum . In summer, private sailing and motor boats also have to be used. Even frivolous mudflat hikers have to be rescued from emergencies in the mudflats.

One of the oldest stations of the organized sea rescue service in Germany was set up in 1861 on Juist by the Emden Association for the rescue of shipwrecked people on the East Frisian coasts . The association had procured iron Francis boats for the two stations Ostland and Westland . The stations were taken over in 1868 by the DGzRS, which procured a modern missile apparatus for the station in Ostland. Over the years, the rowing lifeboats at both stations were regularly replaced by new ones. The chronicle reports names such as Magdeburg , Leer , Frankfurt am Main and Walpoden from Mainz . As was customary at the time, the boats, up to 8.5 meters long, were stored on transport trolleys and had to be moved into the water lying on them for use.
It was not until 1940 that a motor rescue boat (MRB) came to the island for the first time. The ten meter long steel boat was built in 1936 at the August Pahl shipyard in Hamburg-Finkenwerder as KRD 429 Horumersiel and stationed at the place of the same name. In 1937 it was renamed Heinrich Tiarks (I) by the DGzRS in honor of the foreman there . After the station was taken over by the Maritime Emergency Service of the German Air Force (SDL), the boat was moved to Juist and brought to the Black Sea in 1942 . KRD 414 August Nebelthau (II) came to the station as a replacement . The approximately 12 meter long MRB with a 60 hp engine was built in 1926 as Hamburg (I) at the Lindenau shipyard in Memel (today Klaipėda / Lithuania ). After various stations on the North Sea, her last stationing was on Langeoog and received the new name on Juist. At the end of the war, the boat went out of service and was later scrapped.
At the end of 1944, the DGzRS stationed the motor rescue boat KRD 418 August Nebelthau (III) together with the KRD 402 Heinrich Tiarks (II) on Juist. The latter was a 10-meter old building from 1907 called Carl Laeisz (I), which was subsequently motorized. After staying at various stations on the North Sea, she was renamed while working for the SDL and decommissioned at the end of the war. The August Nebelthau was launched in 1930 at the Lürssen shipyard in Bremen- Vegesack as a 2-screw MRB Bremen (II) and was initially assigned to the Norderney sea rescue station . After the SDL requisitioned the boat and relocated it to France, it came back from this mission to the Borkum sea rescue station in 1944 . There she was renamed August Nebelthau and after a few months moved to Juist. After the war, she was relocated to Burgstaaken on Fehmarn , where she served for another 10 years.
Still under the SDL, another 15-meter-long large motor lifeboat was stationed on the island, which was again named August Tiarks (III). It was built in 1944 as KRD 445 at the Pahlwerft in Hamburg and, as a special feature, already had a closed deckhouse in front of the open steering position in the stern . With its 150 hp engine, the boat could reach a speed of 10 knots. After the end of the war and return to the DGzRS it was renamed Juist . In 1952 she moved to Friedrichskoog and received the 12.5 meter long MRB Hans Hartmann in exchange . The coastal lifeboat KRD 446, built in 1944, originally had the name Adalbert Korff (III) and was located in various stations in the North and Baltic Seas .
In 1957, when the first series-built sea rescue cruiser Theodor Heuss was used on Borkum, the rescue station on Juist was closed. The Hans Hartmann went out of service and was later sold.
Almost 30 years later, the DGzRS set up the station again in 1985 and stationed the seven-meter-long sea rescue boat Ilka . It was a first generation boat developed by SRB in the late 1960s to complement the 'new' rescue cruisers in shallow water areas and near the coast. The development had become necessary because of the increase in recreational sports on the water and the accidents associated with it. Their small 54 hp engine was just about the same speed (10 knots) as the old coastal lifeboats. After eight years, the boat moved as Mövenort (III) to Freest in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . As a successor, a new second generation SRB was put into service, which could make speeds of up to 18 knots with its 220 hp engine. The boat was built at the Fassmer shipyard in Berne as SRB 38 and christened Juist . Today the boat is moored as Walter Merz at the station in Schleswig on the Baltic Sea Fjord Schlei .
The current design of the DGzRS with a closed control station was used from 2006 with the 9.5 meter long Wolterra . The third-generation SRB-generation boat was built as SRB 57 at the Lürssen shipyard and had been in service at the Kühlungsborn station since 2002 . In 2017 the company moved the boat to the small Baltic port of Lippe / Weißenhaus on the Hohwacht Bay .
Current boat of the station
As a replacement for the Woltera , the DGzRS stationed a further developed boat of the 10.1 meter class from the Fassmer shipyard. Due to the 60 centimeters longer length, the SRB 66 Hans Dittmer has more space in the cockpit for storing the injured and for relocating people by helicopter . A rescue gate at water level makes it easier to take in people floating in the water. There is extensive emergency medical equipment on board for the care of those who have had an accident, including a defibrillator and a ventilator . The closed wheelhouse offers enough space to accommodate rescued persons below deck and to protect the crew and the installed technology from wind and waves.
Like all boats of the DGzRS, the smaller lifeboats are also designed as self-erecting devices and are made entirely of seawater-resistant aluminum in the tried and tested net frame system. This means that rescue operations can be carried out in any weather and under all sea conditions. Due to the shallow draft of 0.96 meters, the boats are ideally suited for shallow water operations in the Wadden Sea. The powerful engine with 279 kW (380 PS) in connection with the towing system with a nominal load capacity of 1.5 tons also enables you to tow larger ships away or free. The maximum speed of the Hans Dittmer is 18 knots.
The boat is named after a donor, from whose estate the DGzRS was able to finance the construction. For the ten volunteers on the island, the DGzRS built a new station building called Otto-Mann-Haus in 2002 in the harbor directly at the pier . In addition, two former station buildings of the sea rescuers on Juist have been preserved. The old rescue shed of the west station in the Haakdünen is no longer accessible and in the east village the old shed was converted into a residential building.
