The last historic shipyard in Greifswald is somewhat hidden on the northern side of the Ryck and was founded in 2001 as a self-help shipyard for owners of historic ships.
It was the only one to survive the decline of the sailing industry. The wooden boatyard of boat builder Richard Buchholz has existed since 1911. After the Second World War, it benefited in particular from the rebuilding of the German fishing industry. Until the fall of the Berlin Wall, it was mainly fishing boats that were repaired here. Since 2001, the association has been working to preserve this cultural and historical monument and has converted the shipyard into a museum and cultural shipyard. The old shipyard halls and sheds are a popular meeting place for passionate boat builders and sailors. Visitors can follow the short tour of the site and gain an insight into the work of the wooden boat builders.
