Museum Harbor Greifswald

Today many sailing boats are moored at the old city harbor. A beautiful path leads along the water.

"Today the old city harbor is a living museum that tells of the skills of our ancestors in the art of traditional boat and shipbuilding and of good seamanship. With this claim, the Association Museumshafen Greifswald eV operates the largest museum harbor in Germany. It is the home port for one Considerable collection of old fishing vessels and cargo yachts, including Ewer, Tjalken, Kutter, Zeesboot and Quatzen. The oldest ship was laid down around 1880. Most of them are in service as pleasure craft, the others as traditional ships. The latter are also allowed to sail with guests on board.

During the fishing festival Gaffelrigg, which always takes place on the third Saturday in July, the teams present their proud ships on a joint excursion out onto the bay. The harbor master's seat is in the fishing tower on the south side. The pedestrian bridge that spans the harbor leads to the forum at the museum harbor, a festival area for numerous open-air events, and to the harbor terraces. Here, in one of the most popular squares in town, young and old meet to eat, dance, barbecue and make music. In the vicinity of the catering ships is the landing stage for the "Stubnitz", a more than 100 year old passenger ship that is still in operation.
