He described himself as a model maker with a maritime background and an interest in the navy. That was very modest, because he loved and lived the navy. He was stationed in Eckernf\u00f6rde as a soldier in the 90s as a medic and diving doctor's assistant. He handed many a diver the oxygen at the edge of the pool and was wholeheartedly involved in the weapons diving group and the navy's specialised task forces. And in his heart he never actually left the German Navy, his place of longing remained the Baltic Sea, his Eckernf\u00f6rde.<\/p>\n

He became known beyond the ranks of the navy as a model maker. He was the spiritus rector of the Friends of Naval Modelling. His works from the everyday life of the naval battalion, the mine divers and the underwater world could be found in the naval battalion, in duty rooms and at command handovers. Whether MEKUN, the Ministry of the Environment or Kiel Clearance Week. Bj\u00f6rn Weinberg's gems were prominently displayed. He even produced a commissioned work for the exhibition stand of the company \"North IO\". With great craftsmanship, he built impressive maritime dioramas that brought the work of the navy to life. He was at home in Ahlen, where even the Westf\u00e4lische Nachrichten newspaper reported on him. His X account @AhlenBjoern bore witness to this.<\/p>\n

And now comrade Bj\u00f6rn Weinberg has passed away<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

He leaves behind a wife and two children. The community mourns the loss of a much-loved person. It was his wish to be buried at sea. In consultation with his family, comrades have launched an appeal for donations to make a burial at sea possible. Bj\u00f6rn Weinberg was connected to the sea and we want to help give this special person a last gift and help the family in their time of need.<\/p>\n

Also to the editorial team marine forum<\/em> he had contact with. We pay tribute to a good man and offer our heartfelt condolences to the family.<\/p>\n

Please help to give him the last journey he deserved. <\/strong><\/p>\n
