Festival of the Sea Rescuers
The Wustrower Seebrückenfest is organized by the German Maritime Search and Rescue Service (DGzRS) and focuses on the work of the sea rescuers. It takes place annually on the last Saturday in August at the Wustrow pier, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Open Day at the Rescue Station
The Wustrow Sea Rescue Station is one of the oldest stations along the German Baltic Sea coast. During the Seebrückenfest, it opens its doors: visitors can learn about the voluntary work of the rescue teams and experience the rescue boat up close. Guided tours provide insight into what sea rescue means in everyday life.
Rescue Exercise at Sea
The highlight of the festival is a rescue exercise on the Baltic Sea, which takes place around 2 p.m. The sea rescuers impressively demonstrate how an operation at sea unfolds—a spectacle that draws thousands of spectators to the pier every year.
Craft Market and Cultural Program
The festival is accompanied by a regional craft market and a cultural program around the recently renovated pier. Thus, the Seebrückenfest combines the appreciation of the sea rescuers with a relaxing family outing on the Baltic Sea. Wustrow on the Fischland peninsula is part of the Vorpommern-Rügen district in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
