Product information "MS Greundiek Coaster"

The Greundiek was laid down in 1949 as "Hermann-Hans" at the Rickmers shipyard in Bremerhaven; it was launched in January 1950. The ship was one of the first ships built in Germany after the Second World War and one of the first civilian ships in fully welded construction. In 1965, the "Hermann-Hans" was sold to Henry Dölling, who renamed the ship "Rita Dölling" after his wife.

In 1986, the district of Stade bought the ship for the Grünendeich Maritime School, which carried out teaching units on board for training as a ship mechanic. In 1994, the Alter Hafen Stade e.V. association bought the Greundiek from the district of Stade. After initial repair work in the dock of Hamburg's Norderwerft, the ship was given its berth in the port of Stade on April 22 of that year. There it was restored until 2000 and brought back to a roadworthy condition. The ship, which has been largely preserved in its original condition, is registered as a technical cultural monument in the register of movable cultural monuments of Lower Saxony. At the end of January 2003, the Alter Hafen Stade e.V. association received the state prize of the Lower Saxony Savings Bank Foundation for the Preservation of Monuments for the restoration of the ship. The Alter Hafen Stade e.V. association has been maintaining and operating this unique museum ship with its volunteer members since 1994. The ship is licensed for coastal cruising. Today, the MS Greundiek is used for events of all kinds and for public trips on the Elbe and in the Baltic Sea region. (Source: greundiek.de)

The model was developed with the help of all available drawings and many pictures. The kit consists of a large, sturdy ABS hull with milled openings for portholes and speigat. The deck and the complete superstructure are made of laser parts made of ABS and wood. All parts are lasered to fit. The many fittings round off the appearance of the Greundiek. Although the original was used as a model for the kit and its equipment, the model also offers enough possibilities to create your own version of the Greundiek.

The model is powered by a 28mm brushless motor, e.g. actro-n 28-4-880 at 2S LiPo. Alternatively, our Race 620 Navy with the Multi 25 controller can be used as a brushed motor. Optional equipment with light and sound is of course possible.
