    The station is currently rebuilt true to the original and is almost finished. It is definitely worth a visit - especially since the adjacent park / garden is beautiful and always offers the view of the water and runs here the Berlin Wall Trail, on which numerous information and impressions from times of the Cold War are taught.

      A piece of Norway on the Havel. In particular, the reception hall, which was rebuilt in 2018, is an eye-catcher. The sailor's station, originally built between 1891 and 1895, is now complete again.

        Since 1841, the Prussian royal family operated this station on the Jungfernsee through military personnel as a departure and supply station for pleasure trips. From 1890, Emperor Wilhelm II had his sailors' station rebuilt in the Norwegian dragon style. The model was an Oslo restaurant. A reception hall (Ventehalle), a boathouse, a sailors' barracks and the ship's cabin were built. The Imperial Sailors' Station was the Hohenzollern sailing club's home. The Emperor himself was a passionate sailor.
        After the First World War, the sailors' station was used by members of the Imperial Yacht Club. In 1945, the small boathouse on the Jungfernsee and the Ventehalle burned down and remained destroyed. The last remains of the building were later demolished. After the Wall was built, the GDR's border fortifications ran along this spot. The area was not accessible to the public.
        Since reunification, access to the Jungfernsee has been possible again. The ensemble was extensively reconstructed and rebuilt true to the original according to historical plans.
