Controversy surrounding the cost explosion of the planned German Harbour Museum. The Hamburg Taxpayers' Association, represented by its regional chairman Sascha Mummenhoff, has expressed serious concerns about the planned construction of the German Harbour Museum in Hamburg. Originally calculated at a cost of 185.5 million euros, this could rise to almost 500 million euros according to the Federal Audit Office. The Hamburg Historical Museums Foundation forecasts 450,000 visitors a year, which is considered unrealistic in view of the current visitor numbers of the existing harbour museum in Schuppen 50A (32,000 visitors) and the maximum of 150,000 visitors to the International Maritime Museum Hamburg. Peter Tamm, board member of the International Maritime Museum, also criticises the lack of coordination talks between the...

In view of its history, the landing ship was at least temporarily reassigned to the...

Despite IPD obligations: Time for good deeds The ECHO crew of the "Baden-Württemberg" sailed the ship from San Diego to Singapore. It was weeks of training - alone and in association with partner nations from all over the world with ships, submarines and aircraft. In good maritime tradition, during the port call in Manila (Philippines) in September 2024, a large number of the gifts received during the tour, homemade items, flags of the association and the partner nations were auctioned off among the crew for charitable purposes. The first officer of the frigate at the time and interim commander of the F125 ECHO crew, frigate captain Alexander Koch, reported that a total of 12,500 euros was raised. With this...
