Germania Port

Germania Port is a rectangular harbor basin positioned along the eastern waterfront of Kieler Hörn, accommodating different sizes of vessels and sailboats. The basin sits directly in the Gaarden-Ost district with nearby pedestrian access from the surrounding area.

The port takes its name from the Fried Krupp Germania shipyard, which operated at this location beginning in 1880 and continued through the period following World War II. This shipyard shaped the area for several decades.

The port today serves as a meeting point for sailors and enthusiasts of traditional vessels who moor their boats and gather here. Visitors regularly witness events celebrating maritime heritage in this part of northern Germany.

The harbor maintains direct connections to the Baltic Sea and the Kiel Canal, making it accessible for various types of waterborne activities. Visitors find the best views from the eastern waterfront area and the adjacent walking paths.

The harbor basin sits along a major shipping route between the Baltic and North seas, making it a regular viewing point for international commercial vessels. This position offers visitors chances to observe ship traffic from around the world.
