Maritime Festival on the Rügischer Bodden
The Segel- und Hafenfest Putbus bears the Low German nickname »Fier up de Pier« – »Festival on the Pier«. The venue is Lauterbach harbour, a district of the town of Putbus in the south of the island of Rügen in the Vorpommern-Rügen district. Lauterbach is located on the Rügischer Bodden, a protected body of water that offers ideal conditions for a maritime festival.
Regattas, Dragon Boats, and Ship Parade
The sporting heart of the festival is the competition on the water: sailing regattas – including Opti races for youngsters – dragon boat races, and humorous water competitions. The festival opens with a ship parade by the local sailing club. On land, boat jousting (Fischerstechen), tug-of-war, and folk games provide a competitive atmosphere.
Neptune's Baptism, Music, and Fire Show
In addition to the sports programme, maritime traditions are also featured: Neptune's baptism transforms festival guests into "sea bears". In the evening, live bands, street and stage artists, and DJs take over the harbour stage. A laser show and fireworks provide a spectacular finale late in the evening. Historic sailing ships like the "Ernestine" and "Hoffnung" offer excursions on the Bodden.
Family-Friendly and Free Admission
The organiser is the Kurverwaltung Putbus (Putbus spa administration); admission is free. Market stalls, showmen, and food vendors cater to the guests. The festival is explicitly designed to be family-friendly – a cross-generational maritime summer festival that attracts locals and holidaymakers alike.
Putbus, Lauterbach, and the Bodden Landscape
Lauterbach is the harbour town of Putbus – ships to Hiddensee and along the coast depart from here. With its marina, historic seaside resort villas, and its location on the Rügischer Bodden, Lauterbach is a maritime attraction on the island. »Fier up de Pier« celebrates precisely this seafaring identity.
