STUBNITZ-VOLL-VORAUS

On Sep 1st the MS STUBNITZ will be docked for class renewal in the Norderwerft - a costly affair, which the non-profit association cannot manage alone. A significant deposit, required before the dry dock, will be financed through a short-term loan. The crew hopes that a broad stakeholder community is prepared to make a financial contribution to the conservation of this cultural venue.
Through a class renewal in 2014, the operating license of MS STUBNITZ will be maintained for another 5 years. The inspections must be carried out in the dry dock. They include inspections of propellers, rudders, and an overhaul of the underwater fittings and inspection of the outer layer. In the course of the inspections the underwater paint will also be redone. In order to maintain the Stubnitz as an event ship and maritime monument, your support is needed.

All culture-loving people! Although we want to clearly address the music, art, and culture scene, we would also like to reach the advocates who may support the ship as a technical monument and the non-profit association itself. The Stubnitz eV - for 22 years the ship/venue owner - has been able to build a substantial international network. We hope to motivate audiences from Hamburg, Rostock, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, London, etc. to participate.

The support brings the MS Stubnitz, on its 50th anniversary, perspective for the coming next 5 years. The ship is not just a platform for music, cultural events, documentation and communication in Hamburg, but will also be used for projects in other European port cities. Three former cargo holds are used as function rooms for live music, exhibitions, performances and installations. Artists and employees can be accommodated and fed on board.

The money raised will be used for the docking.
