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.

What is the project goal and who is the project for?
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.
Why would you support this project?
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.
How will we use the money if the project is successfully funded?
The money raised will be used for the docking.
Who are the people behind the project?
The project is led by the non-profit Verein Motorschiff Stubnitz e.V (MS Stubnitz Association) founded in 1995, which has developed into the ship’s operator. The work to be completed will not only support the ship’s preservation but also the development of the ship as a cultural venue through the organization of cultural activities including contemporary art and cultural projects. The ship’s maintenance and the cultural work are done largely by volunteers,… Show more
