The "Poeler Kogge" support association is dedicated to the preservation and presentation of the "Wissemara", a replica of a Hanseatic cog.
The aim is to convey the importance of these ships for the Hanseatic League and maritime trade. Practical experience on the cog is intended to promote seamanship, traditional craftsmanship and maritime environmental protection. The association also aims to promote intercultural exchange and inspire young people with enthusiasm for maritime history.
The Hanseatic cog was the workhorse of the Hanseatic League and made it possible to transport large quantities of goods. With the "Wissemara", the "Poeler Kogge" support association has created an impressive testimony to this maritime past. On board this replica, visitors can experience the living conditions and working methods of the seafarers of the time. The association is committed to passing this knowledge on to future generations and highlighting the importance of the cog for European history.
The Poeler Kogge Wissemara is located at the old harbor and is about a 10-minute walk from the accommodation Das Kittchen.
