In 1926 the engine of the four-masted schooner "Polstjernan" exploded in the Kiel Canal. The still burning ship was towed into the Elbe estuary. It was later towed up the Elbe. The cargo ship is now lying as a breakwater on the Falkensteiner Ufer. At low tide you can still see the remains. Right next to it is the wreck "Uwe".

On December 19, 1975, the coaster "Wiedau" collided with the "Mieczyslaw Kalinowski" and then with the barge "Uwe" in front of the then Wittenbergen pier. The "Wiedau" and the "Uwe" sank.
The "Wiedau" was raised on March 14, 1976 and scrapped in Hamburg.
The broken "Uwe" was partially lifted. The stern was too heavy and was brought off the Falkensteiner Ufer.
