The "Historical Harbor Berlin", located on the Fischerinsel in the center of Berlin, has been the place for historical museum ships in Berlin for 20 years now. A large number of ships of different sizes lie along the Friedrichsgracht up to the Märkisches Ufer at the Mühlendamm lock. Most of the ships, which are on average 100 years old, are ready to sail and house various cultural and gastronomic offerings such as the cultural barge Helene and the deckhouse.

Moored old steamships are in the package. Great view over the Mühlendammshleuse to the eastern center with the television tower. There is a small café, currently only on deck because of C19.

The historic port of Berlin at the Mühlendammschleuse / Fischerinsel has been operated by the Berlin-Brandenburgische Schifffahrtsgesellschaft e. V. revived and operated. In addition, the permanent exhibition shows how closely Berlin's cultural development is linked to inland shipping and the historic port. This is where the first port was built, the twin cities of Cölln-Berlin came into being and from here it was further developed and rebuilt. The goals of the association are:
- Operation of the historic port in the center of Berlin.
- Preservation of the maritime heritage, which is important for the cultural and historical preservation of inland shipping.
- Presentation of the ships to the public and in publications.
- Research on shipping history - especially in the Berlin-Brandenburg area - with the aim of making this accessible to the public.
- Advisory support for private boatmen in the restoration of their historic inland vessels.
- To enable young people and other interested parties to participate in the operation and maintenance of traditional watercraft, as well as to provide insights into the skills that are part of the historical occupational profile of inland navigation.
