Overview: The sub-collection "Gewett: Hafen und Schifffahrt" contains the most important sources on Rostock's shipping history. The temporal emphasis of the tradition lies in the 19th century and reaches up to the end of the Second World War. The nautical register from 1585-1605, the ship's tonnage records (Bielbriefe), the ship's register files, the ship's registers, the harbour journals or the sample rolls are worth mentioning. In addition, the general administrative files for the business operation of the bet are classified in this portfolio. Of particular interest are, among other things, the weight calculations. The invoices of the two Weddeherren, which have been available since 1381, prove that the preservation of the harbour, the low, the fairway, the bulwark and the light as well as the supervision of the beach and the flotsam have belonged to their tasks since earliest times. In the course of the formation of the authorities, these competences gave rise to important areas of responsibility for the Gewett. The area of responsibility of the Gewett was regulated by a series of Council regulations. 1756 a beach regulation was issued, 1802 a pilot regulation, 1853 a port regulation. Since 1831 Gewett was responsible for the exhibition of Bielbriefe. A council decree of 1838 made it a de facto seaman's office, controlling the acceptance, wages and layoffs of ship crews. After the German Reich's Seemannsordnung came into force, the Gewett officially became the Seemannsamt in 1873. In 1874 a sovereign decree entrusted him with the tasks of a beach office. In 1879 the Gewett took over the management of the ship registers, in 1888 it became the ship surveying authority. Under the supervision of the Gewett, important areas of the shipping and port industry were located in Rostock and Warnemünde. However, some functions had to be transferred to state authorities since the end of the 19th century. Since their establishment in 1877, the Maritime Offices have negotiated declarations and accidents. The keeping of the shipping registers was transferred to the district court in 1912. After the dissolution of the Gewett in 1920, the municipal port administration took its place. In 1934 the port administration was dissolved as an independent department. The finance department took over the processing of the property, e.g. the letting of the storage places at the harbour, on the beach and in Warnemünde. The tasks of the shipping office, the seaman's office and the ship surveying authority were assigned to the police office. The civil engineering office was responsible for port and waterway construction. Publications: Müller, Walther: Rostock's maritime shipping and maritime trade in the course of time.
