The Schiffermuseum Zehdenick is a large Finow measure barge with the name Carola and was opened in 2001 as a museum ship . The berth is at the Elisabethmühle in the port of the city of Zehdenick .
history
The Carola was built in 1916 as a large finowmass barge, mainly for use in the Elbe - Havel shipping area as a motorized inland vessel at the "Braun" shipyard , formerly J. Hansen, in Speyer . The Großfinow Maßkahn with a length of 42.5 meters and a width of 5.06 meters was tailored to this sailing area and was able to navigate the small locks on the Brandenburg and Mecklenburg waterways without any problems.
The city of Zehdenick with the partners Tourist Association Zehdenick, Schifferverein "Einigkeit 1829" Zehdenick, A – Z Surface Refinement and AQUA Zehdenick had acquired the fully functional ship from the last owner in 2000 and converted it into a ship's museum. In 2001 the museum ship was opened in the port within sight of the Zehdenick lock .
A special feature is that the museum ship is regularly on the nationwide waterways to present the exhibition in the hold and the city of Zehdenick.
exhibition
The Havel was an important transport route for centuries, especially for bulk goods. In Zehdenick and the surrounding area, barge and shipbuilding as well as inland navigation were important occupations from the 17th century to the 20th century. In 1773 three shipbuilders were based here and from 1790 onwards several ships for the "Royal Timber Administration" were built. The shipbuilders' guild was founded in 1889 and the rapidly growing brick industry caused the local Havel shipping industry to flourish.
Therefore, many ship models and boat equipment for the Havel shipping of this period are presented. In addition, many photos and tools for inland shipbuilding are exhibited. Since Zehdenick was a very important center of the brick industry , there are models of the ring kiln and many photos of the loading of the Zehdenick Havel ships with bricks. Around 1914, over 60 ring kilns burned around 500 million bricks every year, the majority of which were shipped via the Havel and Voss Canal to the steadily growing predecessor cities of today's Berlin .
Another focus of the exhibition is the founding of the death and support fund for boatmen in 1829 and the Zehdenick boatmen's association, which was also founded in that year. In 1901 the boatmen's association was transformed into a pure professional organization. After the fall of the Wall in 1991, the Schifferverein von Zehdenick was re-established under the name "Unity".
In the mid-1930s there were around 500 boatmen with around 290 barges in Zehdenick. After the 2nd World War there were around 200 ship owners. Around 30 ships with the home port of Zehdenick are currently registered in the Brandenburg ship register.
