NDR in Hamburg reported on 14 January 2023 that the operators of traditional ships are looking for new volunteers. "We need young talent in all areas, for all historic ships - and the harbour railway," said Claus Liesner, Chairman of the Board of the Hamburg Maritime Foundation (SHM). The foundation is very much aware that there are only a few German seafarers left. "After their active service at sea, many former seafarers have continued to be actively involved on our ships in the past," said Liesner, but there is an increasing lack of new recruits. "From engine drivers to deckhands to ship's command, we are looking for volunteers - for all...

Legend and memories - an appeal! With the development of the German Navy, suitable bases were needed whose location would support the defence of the Baltic Sea approaches.

From 1966 to 2006, the harbour was a base for fast patrol boats and minesweepers. There were also workshops, a signalling station and flats in Ellenberg for the soldiers' families.

Best prize awarded by MOV at the Naval Academy

Best prize awarded by MOV at the Naval Academy

These include the consistent implementation of the principle of inner leadership and, as a lesson from Admiral Johannesson's personal life story, the critical examination of his own history that he demanded. Johannesson's ideas still guide us today. Since its establishment in 1955, our organisation has...
