SPD and Greens Rally to Save Party Ship ‘MS Stubnitz’ with Hamburg Restructuring Fund

Good news for the party ship “MS Stubnitz”: Greens and SPD want to whip the floating club institution into shape with a lot of money from the Hamburg restructuring fund.

In a joint application to the citizens, the government coalitions are campaigning for the preservation of the “MS Stubnitz”: The Hamburg rehabilitation fund is to provide around 210,000 euros by 2030 to clear the ship on the aging “MS Stubnitz”. “Among other things, the plans include class renewal, a visit to the shipyard for further renovation work and insulation measures that improve energy efficiency,” says SPD expert for creative industries Hansjörg Schmidt.

The Hamburg Greens also support the project: “Not only because this club ship embodies an enrichment for our Hamburg club scene, but also because it has historical significance as the last remaining refrigerated ship in the GDR,” said René, spokesman for cultural policy for the Greens in Hamburg Gogge. On July 5, the members of the Hamburg Parliament should vote on the application.

The club ship is located on the Kirchenpauerkai promenade in HafenCity. There were temporary conflicts with the neighborhood when the new buildings at the berth were occupied and the residents complained about the party noise and the squeaking gangway. In the meantime, the “MS Stubnitz” has moored a little away from the residential buildings. (mp/chm)
