NV Cruising Guide

Navigation

The approach is only possible during the day. From the Strelasund fairway, steer from buoy 22 at 358° to buoy P2 of the Puddemin fairway and then continue in the buoyed fairway to the harbor, keeping exactly to the buoy line. The Puddemin fairway has a strong tendency to silting up (see NV.Aktuell, Series 4, Mindertiefen).

In the Gleiwitzer and Puddeminer Wiek, except for the anchorage area near Üselitz (see S39), navigation is only permitted in the buoyed channel (NSG).

Berths

There is always a free spot on the concrete pier (1.5 - 1.8 m water depth)

Surroundings

All jetty and shore areas have water and electricity connections. There are modern sanitary facilities in the harbour master's building. However, there are only other catering facilities in Garz, 5.5 km to the north.

Bread rolls can be pre-ordered from the harbour master for the following day.

Puddemin consists of a few houses, a few paddocks, a huge reed field and the halls of a former "agricultural production cooperative" 100 meters from the harbour. Although there is no shop in the settlement, there is at least a bus stop.

There is nothing worth seeing in Puddemin. You have to head to Garz, where a visit to the Ernst Moritz Arndt Museum could entice those interested in culture.

Garz is the oldest town on Rügen and was an important base for the princes of the Ranen tribe in Slavic times. Charenza Castle is said to have stood on the still existing castle rampart. According to Nordic tradition, the seven-headed god Rugiavit was worshipped in its temple. The multi-headed god was a special feature of Slavic idols (see also Ralswiek and Breege), to which wooden temples were built and sacrifices were made, including human sacrifices.

One of the recommended excursion destinations is the Zudar peninsula, which was already inhabited in Slavic times. Several megalithic tombs bear witness to the indigenous inhabitants. On the way there, you pass the Schoritzer Wiek nature reserve on the left, where cormorants have built their nests on the island in the Wiek. All the trees on the island present a ghostly picture. They are completely dead due to the corrosive droppings of the birds. Other megalithic tombs, village churches and manor houses are among the sights around Puddemin.

Ernst Moritz Arndt (1769-1860), the political publicist and patriotic poet, is considered the driving force behind the anti-Napoleonic wars of liberation. At the same time, he was a staunch opponent of a powerful aristocracy and advocated a unified social state.

For the nobility, Arndt was a "preacher of disobedience"; for the people, he was an eloquent patriot whose language they understood. Last but not least, he was a humanist, although his uncompromising hostility towards Napoleon was not without controversy among intellectuals. Despite the hostility of the arch-conservatives, he managed to exert an extraordinary influence on the political events of his time. This was particularly true of the years from 1812 to 1816, when the son of a farmer, born in Groß Schoritz in 1769, reached the height of his popularity. He became the most widely read publicist of the Wars of Liberation. He was a propagandist by conviction - without a client.

After the liberation from Napoleon's troops, he was a thorn in the side of the princes with his uncomfortable political demands, as he continued to call for the elimination of feudal dependency.

The reactionaries persecuted him and sentenced him to silence in court. But at the age of 70, he returned the favor in his "Erinnerungen aus dem äußeren Leben" (Memoirs from his outer life) and revived the patriotic era two years before his death in "Meine Wanderungen mit dem Reichsfreiherrn von Stein" (My wanderings with the Reichsfreiherr von Stein). At the same time, he leaves behind a unique personal description of the great reformer von Stein in his writing about Stein and the events from the days of his liberation struggle. Ernst Moritz Arndt was buried in Bonn in 1860.

It is less well known that Arndt was also an author of fairy tales and legends. One of his fantastic tales about the witch "Thrin Wulfen" is set between Schoritz and Puddemin, where Arndt says the small village of Güntz was located. The witch had the urge to cast spells on everything and everyone, for the benefit of her own family, of course, and to the detriment of the neighbors, who always wondered why the Wulfen's cattle were so fat while their own suddenly dropped dead in the pasture. One day, however, when the witch, enchanted as a cat, tried to clean out the pastor's pantry, the man of God, who was lying in wait, defended himself with a shotgun load of buckshot. From then on, the witch limped and could not get to her neighbor's animals fast enough when the urge to cast a spell over her. And so she bewitched her own livestock, became completely impoverished and lost her husband, who left the house out of fear of her witchcraft.

In this "fairy tale", Arndt probably also uses ironic sideswipes to deal with the sad truth of the persecution of witches and superstition, which was still very prevalent among the common people in his time. Around his birthplace alone there are two witches' mountains, a Teufelsberg and a Hexenbusch . And - as in many fairy tales - "mischief" and "heaven" lie very close together to the west of Groß Schoritz.

Die teilweise negative Beschreibung im Text wird dem Hafen meiner Meinung nach nicht gerecht. Die Anlage ist sehr gepflegt (was man ja nicht überall behaupten kann) und ruhig. Außer Radfahrern kommt hier nicht viel vorbei. Aber das ist gerade der Charme an der Sache, wenn man Ruhe mag. Der Hafenmeister ist sehr nett, der Preis ist in Ordnung. Hier gibt es keine Dauerliegeplätze sondern nur Kurzzeit. Auch in der Saison ist immer ausreichend Platz.

Puddemin ist ein traumhafter Hafen...a. Gr. seines geringen Tiefgangs direkt vor dem Hafen (Angabe ca. 1,5m) ist es für die größeren Yachten so gut wie unmöglich einzulaufen. Beim Hafenmeister bekommt man einige regionale Spezialitäten (Wurst u.ä.) sowie einige Dekoartikel...daneben ist auch für ein kaltes Anlegerbier gesorgt, falls die eigene Kühlung leer sein sollte. Die Sanitäranlagen sind i.O....der Hafen besticht durch seine ruhige und idyllische Lage.
