Harald Striewski, the founder of the Hobby caravan factory, narrowly escaped one of the worst shipping disasters in history in 1945. While fleeing the advancing Red Army, he and his mother and brother were originally supposed to be evacuated on the "Wilhelm Gustloff." On the advice of his aunt, who considered the large ship too conspicuous, the family forwent the crossing. Instead, they managed to escape to Kiel on a smaller ship, the "Cremon." The "Wilhelm Gustloff" was sunk shortly thereafter by a Soviet submarine; approximately 10,000 people lost their lives.
