The staff platoon is on the main road, but a bit away from the base.

The building originally had the address Twedterholt 10 (see Twedter Holz ). In 1961 the said part of the street was renamed Fördestraße and the building was given the current address Fördestraße 18.

history

The original use of the building

The headquarters building was originally built in 1939/40 as a training workshop for the naval school. The blueprints for the red, F-shaped brick building complex were possibly based on a design by the Quanz government building council. The architect Hermann Rein worked on the plans, and he also realized buildings in other parts of the city, for example the first high-rise building in Flensburg at Moltkestrasse 22 (1953–1955) and the Glücksburg Church of the Resurrection (1963–1965). The new workshop building initially served the practical training of technical officers (engineer officer school).

In May 1945 the building complex belonged to the Mürwik special area . To the east, next to the building, was the Heinz Krey camp, which served as a refugee camp (see Refugees in Schleswig-Holstein after the Second World War ).

Used after the Second World War as a work for the disabled

After the Second World War , the Flensburg lawyer Dr. Werner Kuntze , who volunteered in legal and career advice, the plight of the war invalids . Therefore he committed himself to set up a home for the disabled similar to the Bethel Foundation . Parts of the naval school were initially discussed as the building, but this was not implemented because the city ​​of Flensburg preferred other uses. Werner Kuntze then sought a conversation with the commander of the naval space service units in Kiel (see German mine clearance service ). This held consultation with the English naval commander of Schleswig-Holstein , who gave him the authorization to promote the disabled. Ultimately, the choice was the building on Fördestrasse. A non-profit association was founded and so the handicapped factory was able to move into Mürwik's workshops in 1946 . The official opening took place on September 21, 1946. The carpentry and bookbinding workshop of the naval school had previously been relocated to the building.

On November 8, 1946 reported as well as the nationwide world in the film about the Murwiker wounded workshops of the nonprofit association wounded plant Schleswig-Holstein eV In the aftermath more wounded workshops emerged in Husum (see. Theodor-Schäfer vocational training center ), Westerland , St. Peter and Jarplund who joined the association. In 1948 the association had a total of six plants in Schleswig-Holstein, of which Flensburg-Mürwik and Schafstedt were the largest. When exactly the Mürwiker disabled workshops closed is not generally known. The now existing non-profit GmbH Mürwiker Werkstätten , which offers workshops, residential accommodation and assisted living for people with disabilities, was created much later and has different origins.

Used as a military college during the Cold War

After the navy moved back into Mürwik in 1957, the building served as a military college . The training rooms were located in the lower area of ​​the building, while the upper area contained accommodation for the participating soldiers. Lessons were given to achieve the intermediate level of education. There were also various evening courses, for example to obtain commercial training.

Due to the political change in the East in the early 1990s, military détente in Europe took place. The conversion of the Mürwiker base followed, but the Bundeswehr technical school remained for a while. But at the beginning of 2001 it became known that the Bundeswehr technical school in Flensburg-Mürwik was to be closed in mid-2003. Flensburg's Lord Mayor Hermann Stell spoke out emphatically against the closure, but without success.

New purpose as a staff train

After 2000, the use as a military college ended and the naval school took over the building.

Duties of the staff platoon

The staff unit of the Naval School Mürwik provides the commander of the school with the staff who advise and support him in his tasks (see staff department ).
