A Unique Family Reunion of Warships in Wilhelmshaven
Wilhelmshaven, a key German naval port in Lower Saxony, hosted a unique family reunion of two warships last week, showcasing the rich naval history and maritime culture of the region. The German Naval Museum in Wilhelmshaven, home to several historical ships, played host to the frigate "Baden-Württemberg" and the destroyer "Mölders."
The "Baden-Württemberg," a modern frigate class of the German Navy, docked side by side with the "Mölders," Germany's largest museum warship, which has been at the German Naval Museum in Wilhelmshaven for the past 20 years. The frigate arrived in Wilhelmshaven, accompanied by two tugboats, marking a significant event in the port's naval calendar.
Bogislav von Puttkamer, the commander of the "Baden-Württemberg," stood near the "Mölders" in the morning. Interestingly, the destroyer was once commanded by Hubertus von Puttkamer, who returned to the "Mölders" for the occasion. This family reunion of naval commanders added an extra layer of significance to the event.
The "Baden-Württemberg" is currently undergoing routine maintenance after two years of deployment. Once maintenance is complete, it will be primarily used for training before setting off on a new mission. Bogislav von Puttkamer will leave the "Baden-Württemberg" in September.
Meanwhile, the "Mölders," measuring 134 meters long, remains open for visits at the German Naval Museum in Wilhelmshaven. The museum serves as an important venue for naval events, family reunions onboard ships, and educational visits about naval warfare and ship technology.
This combination of historical and modern warships, along with the familial connection between commanders, offers a fascinating glimpse into Germany's naval history, current fleet vessels, and ceremonial customs. The event underscores the importance of preserving maritime heritage while continuing to serve in naval operations.
