Bremerhaven in an alarm mood: shipping museum before the end!
The waves are high in Bremerhaven: The German Maritime Museum (DSM) is struggling with serious difficulties. The resignation of Environment Senator Kathrin Moosdorf (Greens) is causing a stir and is seen as a threat to the future of the museum. Loud Buten and inland Moosdorf not only manages the environmental department, but was also the chair of the DSM Foundation Board, which makes its resignation all the more drastic.
The CDU-Bremerhaven urges Bremen Mayor Andreas Bovenschulte (SPD) to take care of the future of the museum. The pressure on the DSM is considerable: the museum's existence as a Leibniz Institute, as well as the associated funding, could be on the brink. The situation is also complicated because the Sharoun building, a central part of the museum, has been closed to the public since 2018 and urgently needs to be renovated.
Resignation of Kathrin Moosdorf
The resignation of Kathrin Moosdorf follows concrete processes with her state councilor and has far -reaching consequences. In addition to the uncertainty about the financial support for the DSM, the personnel gap is a real danger to the ongoing renovation measures. CDU MP Thorsten Raschen and his colleague Sina Dertwinkel emphasize that Dr. Andreas Bovenschulte has to do everything possible to tackle the problems around the DSM as a top priority. There is an urgent need for action, because as early as 2027, the museum's renewed evaluation by the Leibniz community is pending.
Financial perspectives
In a meeting of the Committee on Finance and Economy, the DSM's directorate made it clear that the challenges cannot be mastered alone. The need to look for talks with members of the Bundestag from Bremen in Berlin was emphasized in order to guarantee the financial security of the renovation reports the CDU Bremerhaven.
In order to secure the urgently needed funds for the renovation, the existing millions can be staged for the Najade. A good hand when dealing with these means could be crucial to save the museum.
The next steps must now be tackled quickly and carefully, because time is pushing. Every day counts when it comes to preserving a valuable piece of Bremerhaven's story and creating safe perspectives for the future of the German Shipping Museum.
