Raninchenwerder: Hafen in a dispute - boat drivers go aground!

Kaninchenwerder, Schwerin, Deutschland - The port on rabbitwerder in Schwerin, on everyone's lips since it was opened a year ago, is faced with persistent challenges. A dispute between the tenant Rüdiger Kopplin and the city ensures additional headlines. Boat owner Roland R. reports of serious problems due to the actual water depth in the port, which differs significantly from the official information. Officially, the water depth should be 1.60 meters, but in the southern area it is only 70 to 80 centimeters. This has caused boats to run due to Roland R.'s motorboat, which rely on a boulder when entering and caused damage in a five -digit amount, such as the Ostsee-Zeitung reports.

The situation in the port is complicated by a lack of warning signs. While there is a sign for shallows on the northern entrance, this is missing for boats that drive from the south. City spokeswoman Michaela Christen confirms that the problem of the shallows is known. Despite this knowledge, defects have not been remedied since the port opened. It is important to the city to set up additional warning signs, but the time of this measure is still unclear.

Legal dispute and gastronomy

The port is not only a dispute for boat owners, but also for the gastronomy operation of Rüdiger Kopplin. The tenant is in a legal conflict with the city because he relies on an allegedly binding rental agreement by 2030. Meanwhile, the city is planning to revive the gastronomy on the island and had been looking for interested parties nationwide. For a long time it was said that 27 applicants had reported, including 15 with concrete usage concepts, as the [Nordkurier] (https://www.nordkurier.de/regional/schwerin/foerdergelder-im-hafen-zeiter--totent dance-auf-kaninchenwerder-343475) reported.

Kopplin is faced with failures that are charged to him. His gastronomy operation also suffers from the blocking of the lake terrace, which means that he escapes income. The city has invested 4.2 million euros for the port system, but the money is no longer available because the renovation of the gastronomic building and port development are on the brink. However, Kopplin is ready to work with one of the new interested parties, but needs clear agreements with the city.

sustainable port development

The challenges related to the port on rabbitwerder are in greater connection with the sustainable development of coastal areas. The EU instrument of integrated coastal zone management (IKZM) aims to make these coastal regions ecologically, economically and socially sustainable. For this purpose, the interrelationships between different systems are analyzed and recommendations for action are formulated, as can be seen in a publication by the Federal Institute for Building, City and Spatial Research. These studies are extremely important for port development in Germany, especially in terms of use of space and traffic.
