    Hiking

    The lightship is back in the Great Harbour: On Monday, September 9, 2024, the restored museum ship was towed from the shipyard to its new berth directly in front of the Küstenmuseum. On the same day, two gangways were also delivered and installed, which will be used to access the lightship in the future.

    In the final phase of the conversion, which will now follow, the supply connections for electricity, water, and wastewater will be established to the ship, and the exhibition will be installed inside the ship. (Source: wilhelmshaven.de/Tourismus/Sehenswuerdigkeiten/Feuerschiff.php)

    Hiking

    On September 23, 1981, the ship was decommissioned as the last lightship on the Weser due to high maintenance costs and replaced by a large buoy. The ship was initially laid up. On March 1, 1983, the Wilhelmshavener Segelkameradschaft Klaus Störtebeker e. V. took over its care as a museum and restaurant ship at Bontekai.[3]

    After the sailing association could no longer guarantee the maintenance of the ship, it was towed from Bontekai to Nordfrost-Nordwestkai in June 2017.[4] As Nordfrost needed the berth, the ship was towed to the Handelshafen on December 14, 2017, and laid up there.[5]
