NV Cruising Guide

Navigation

From the Barther Bodden a buoyed fairway with 3m water depth leads to the harbour Barth, leading light Iso.R.4s.

Berths

The harbour has a wide range of moorings, also for guest berths, spread throughout the harbour area. In the commercial harbour near the Rammin boatyard and the Maritim Center, there are moorings for guest berths in the east of Barth harbour.

Surroundings

The city and commercial port has been consistently developed as a shipyard location for professional and recreational shipping and could thus develop into a magnet for maritime tourism. Electricity and water connections are available throughout the harbour area.


Multiple petrol stations, faeces disposal, yacht service, engine service and crane facilities offer the water sports enthusiast all the possibilities for supplies and services.

NV Land Guide

In Barth's heyday, five shipyards at the harbour and on the Barthe were covered with orders. Around 1870, the six ship-owners looked after up to 280 sailing ships registered in Barth. From 1863 to 1922, helmsmen and captains were trained for the big voyage in the navigation school. But then the slump came as fast as the boom at first, because the modern steamships did not have enough water under their keel in the Bodden waters around Barth. Only coastal steamers were still able to call at the town. The new employers were the owners of fish, sugar, furniture and machine factories who settled here. Trade unions were formed, the proletariat took influence on the politics of the town. Like Wolgast, Barth was soon known as the "red town."


A dark chapter in the town's history is the concentration, prison and labor camps that were built here between 1940 and 1945. 6000 prisoners from 18 nations had to produce parts for the Heinkel 111 fighter plane here. A memorial was erected to the 2000 prisoners who died here. On the Platz der Freiheit (Freedom Square), a memorial commemorates the Soviet prisoners of war who worked in a munitions factory in Barth and many of whom lost their lives. In addition, a prison camp for downed British and American aircrews was located on the Vogelsang site in the west of the city.


On a walk around the city, the few striking architectural monuments are quickly discovered. As the most imposing building, the St. Marienkirche (St. Mary's Church), built in Gothic style with its 87-metre-high tower, rises up on the market square, which is also a good landmark for shipping.   A view from the church tower is definitely recommended. In good weather conditions, Stralsund, Hiddensee, Zingst and the Darß can be seen.


Barth, with its current population of around 9000, has been given a facelift in recent years. In particular, the port has become a tourist magnet. Nevertheless, also the quiet-seeking water sportsman  still finds a berth here.
