Pilot station and pilot statue, Travemünde

Highlight • Monument

Traffic on the Trave federal waterway is monitored by the Travemünde Traffic Control Center. Experienced nautical officers are stationed day and night in their control center directly on the Trave promenade. They use state-of-the-art technology to ensure the smooth flow of shipping traffic from the Flensburg Fjord to the Buk lighthouse near Kühlungsborn.

In the Trave estuary alone, there are more than 50 large ships entering and leaving the harbor every day, from huge passenger and cargo ferries that dock at Travemünde's Scandinavia Quay,
to excursion boats and international cruise ships.

By the way, all ships over 60 meters long and 10 meters wide are required to be piloted. Two pilot boats transport the sea and harbor pilots to their deployment location.

A few nautical miles from Travemünde, command on the bridge is briefly transferred to the pilot until the ship is safely in port.

The same applies when it leaves the harbor again.
Twenty pilots are on duty at the pilot station in Travemünde, and the shifts run around the clock.

View of the Four-Masted Barque Passat

Highlight • Monument

The Flying P-Liner, built in 1911, was one of the fastest cargo sailing ships in the world. Today, the four-masted barque "Passat" lies in Travemünde - as a witness to a bygone era.

It is a maritime legend - although it has not sailed the seas for more than half a century: the "Passat". The four-masted barque is one of two Flying P-Liners remaining in Germany, alongside the "Peking", which will return to its home port of Hamburg at the beginning of September 2020 after extensive renovation. This is the legendary series of cargo sailing ships from the Hamburg shipping company F. Laeisz, whose names all begin with a "P" and which are built primarily for the grain and saltpeter trade with South America. The ships, built at the beginning of the 19th century, are famous all over the world for their speed and reliability.

March 19, 2024,Frühlingsinspektion😲 Brodtener Steilküste

Every year the Baltic Sea gnaws at the Brodtem cliffs🥰. Last winter the forces of nature took their toll, the entire cliff was polished, a house fell down, and the path above had to be partially closed/relocated. A flawless and a 3/4 chicken god were the high point, the lack of a drink was the low point😅
