The sailing club Rhe e. V. (SC Rhe) is a German sailing club based in Hamburg . It was founded in 1855 in the Prussian Königsberg and is the oldest existing German sailing club.
history
The high school student Ernst Burow and eight friends founded the Burow house in Königsberg i. Pr. The club. First of all, they wanted to sail together with a fishing boat that Burow had received as a gift. However, the Rhe sailing club soon developed into a large and popular Königsberg sailing club. The numerous members sailed on club and owner yachts and practiced ice sailing in winter .
The Rhe sailing club was involved in the founding of the German Sailing Association and the Regatta Association East.

Since 2007 the sailing club Rhe has been a member of the International Council of Yacht Clubs , the worldwide association of traditional sailing clubs .
Today's German sailing license system is derived from the customs of the Rhe sailing club in the training and selection of first or second class skippers (comparable to C-license / Sporthochseeschifferschein or B-license / Sportküstenschifferschein).
After the Second World War , the Rhe sailing club was continued by members in Hamburg-Blankenese , where it is now located in the former home of Katrin Springer, adjacent to Axel Springer's former second home, Landhaus Michaelsen .
Associated with the association is the Scholz family from Königsberg who, along with Harry Scholz, his son Wolfgang Scholz and grandson Klaus Peter Scholz, provided several chairmen of the association.
