The very extensive harbour basin still looks a little dull at the end, but progress is clearly being made. The long-planned Olpenitz Grund marina is being built on the southern shore. The Hamburg-based operating company is building berths on the four jetties in two phases. A central jetty and two long side jetties are already floating. The first yachts have moored there and the harbour is ready for use.
The three floating houses with sanitary facilities and harbour master's office are due to follow by July. In 2017, a winter storage hall, travel lift and additional jetties will be built in a second construction phase. On land, the area at the harbour entrance on the northern shore is already more densely built up and the huge gaps between buildings have closed. Residents and guests are on site and the ghost town feeling of recent years has improved considerably. If attractive infrastructure with restaurants, bars and shopping facilities is now added, the project will gradually develop into a real destination for crews.
On the north bank, two huge floating jetties with 15 floating houses each are already in operation or in the final stages of construction, with two more to follow. With 60 houses on the water, each with its own comfortable berth, a small floating village is being created.
