The ice breaker

The Museumshafen (Museum Harbour) Oevelgönne is a wonderful destination on the Elbe beach for young and old. Around 20 vintage ships are anchored at this location – including German and Dutch flat-bottomed vessels (the leeboards of which challenge the public to work out their purpose), steam tugs and barges.
Many of the ships anchored here were discovered as wrecks rotting away at remote locations, and most have been faithfully restored over years of painstaking labour, using historical literature, models and drawings.
Not only the association's own vessels are anchored in Oevelgönne; private ships of association members and ships with their own associations, such as the steam icebreaker "STETTIN", have also found a home here.
