Peat shipyard Schlussdorf, Maritime heritage museum in Worpswede, Germany
The Peat Shipyard Museum displays tools, photographs, and equipment related to the construction and operation of traditional peat transportation vessels.
Between 1850 and 1954, the Grotheer family managed this shipyard, producing more than 600 vessels designed for peat transportation along local waterways.
The museum preserves the maritime traditions of Northern Germany through exhibits featuring boat building techniques, peat extraction methods, and wooden shoe crafting.
Visitors can join guided tours led by local experts who explain the shipbuilding process, peat transportation systems, and regional agricultural practices.
The facility houses an original flat-bottomed peat ship from 1890, demonstrating the specialized design required for navigating shallow waterways.
