Bremerhaven in alarm mood: shipping museum on the brink of extinction!
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 within Moosdorf not only manages the environmental department, but was also chairwoman of the DSM's board of trustees, which makes her resignation all the more drastic.
The CDU-Bremerhaven urgently calls on Bremen's 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 in jeopardy. The situation is further complicated because the Scharoun Building, a central part of the museum, has been closed to the public since 2018 and is in urgent need of renovation.
Resignation of Kathrin Moosdorf
Kathrin Moosdorf's resignation follows concrete events with her state councilor and has far-reaching consequences. In addition to the uncertainty about financial support for the DSM, the staffing gap is a real threat to the ongoing restructuring measures. CDU MP Thorsten Raschen and his colleague Sina Dertwinkel emphasize that Dr. Andreas Bovenschulte must do everything he can to tackle the problems surrounding the DSM as a matter for the boss. There is an urgent need for action, as the museum will be re-evaluated by the Leibniz Association as early as 2027.
Financial perspectives
At a meeting of the Committee on Finance and Economics, the DSM Board of Directors made it clear that the challenges cannot be overcome alone. The need to seek talks with members of the Bundestag from Bremen in Berlin was emphasized in order to guarantee financial security for the renovation reports the CDU Bremerhaven.
In order to secure the urgently needed funds for the renovation, the existing millions can be used for the Naiad. A good hand in handling these funds could be crucial to saving the museum.
The next steps must now be taken quickly and carefully because time is short. Every day counts when it comes to preserving a valuable piece of Bremerhaven's history and creating secure prospects for the future of the German Maritime Museum.
