Schulau harbor
The Schulauer Hafen is an Elbe port in Wedel . It is located between the Willkomm Höft ship's welcome system and the Hamburg marina. The Schulau harbor is to be partly redesigned as part of the “maritime mile” of the city of Wedel.
history
The Schulau harbor was established in 1898/99 at the confluence of the Lieth River in Schulau. It was initially created as a protective and fishing port. The municipality Schulau then promised to take a quarter of the annual generation maintenance costs of the port.
After Schulau was incorporated into Wedel, this city had to fulfill the contract as legal successor, which was problematic as Wedel had no influence on the use and design of the facility. The state administration made the port of Schulau a transshipment point for gravel and a bunker station for oil, which did not exactly increase the attractiveness of the area. A lease with the Herbert Heidorn company for the gravel handling point with a gravel silo and crane existed from 1959 to 1985.
After the state of Prussia was dissolved , the Prussian ports became the property of the state of Schleswig-Holstein . In 1947 Wedel could have taken over the land from the land or became a co-owner, but did not make use of this option at the time. At that time, the port was still used in winter as a berth for 30 to 35 freight and fishing vessels and thus brought in some money.
In 1962, scenes from the film The Locked Up von Altona were filmed in the Schulau harbor and in 1974 the harbor was used as a location for parts of The Odessa Files .
Wedel repeatedly had to deal with threats from floods. Therefore, a summer dike was built along Schulauer Straße in 1974, which was supposed to protect the fire station built in 1971, among other things. The dike was not able to cope with the storm surge of January 1976. The landscape protection dike was completed in October 1978, and in 1979 the construction of a flood protection system at the Schulau harbor began.
After the protection and fishing port became a leisure port, the country tried to sell the port from around 1974. But the council assembly of the city of Wedel rejected the takeover of the Schulau harbor several times. It was not until 1984, after Schleswig-Holstein threatened to close the port and offered remedial payments, that the council decided to take over the port. The city of Wedel has owned the port since November 27, 1986. It was immediately leased to the Wedel-Schulau sailing club. In 1988 this association celebrated the inauguration of the port after various renovation work. The port and port area should be upgraded at the beginning of the 21st century. In 2006 there was an urban development competition on the topic of “Schulau Harbor”, after which a framework and finally an implementation plan were drawn up.
In 2011 the new pier at Willkomm Höft was inaugurated, in 2013 the renovation of the Schulau harbor officially began and in 2015 the new harbor was opened. The harbor basin, which can also be used at low tide, has been shortened and widened. It should provide space for around 126 pleasure craft on floating jetties and a mooring option for smaller traditional ships. The western edge of the harbor was completely redesigned and provided with an embankment with attached angled retaining wall. The entire edge of the harbor is accessible to visitors.
An accessible transverse pier was created on the east side, which was intended to reduce the inflow of sediments and the waves in the port. However, it soon became apparent that the problem of siltation still persists in Wedel . In 2017 it was already assumed that the port basin would have to be dredged annually. The 25,000 cubic meters of silt that had to be removed in 2016 were partly due to the reconstruction of the harbor basin, but in 2018 around 20,000 cubic meters of silt had to be dredged from the harbor basin instead of the forecast 15,000. The neighboring ship greeting system also has to be freed of sediments on a regular basis, as the pontoon is not, as had been hoped, washed free by the current of the Elbe. The pontoon has to be dragged in so that the silt can be washed away from under the pier. Every time this means an interruption of the ferry service between Schulau and Lühe .
Further problems of the Schulau harbor were named in a TV report in 2017: structural elements of the newly constructed pier had sunk and at least up to this point in time no new operator had been found for the harbor. In 2017, the furnishing of the flood protection wall at the harbor, which was already in need of renovation, with glass elements and the already decided demolition of the old harbor master's house were still controversial. The FDP parliamentary group leader Renate Koschorrek argued against the demolition and the new building: “There is no such thing as a reconstructed identity. It's about preserving a small piece of Wedel history. ”The Greens were also in favor of preserving the harbor master's house, and the parliamentary group leader of the Left, Detlef Murphy, described the building as“ the last piece of originality in a rather interchangeable port ”.
