BlindePassagiere

Sa 15 th of June:
21:30 h: Nocturnal Porttour: ReimerDohrn BlindePassagiere with slides by MarilyStroux.

One way to immigrate from overseas to europe (and to Hamburg) is using a ship: people doing this are called BlindePassagiere (stowaways). Since a few years the group Blinde Passagiere is organizing guided harbour roundtrips (Hafen-Rundfahrten) by vessel about the situation of stowaways in the harbour of Hamburg.

Reimer Dohrn about the harbour roundtrip BlindePassagiere:

"The ways, how blind passengers arrive on sea-going vessels at the port
of Hamburg and disappear again, are dark as the night, through which this
nocturnal harbour roundtrip leads us. With slides shown within and outside
of the launch we bring light into in the darkness of the degrading practice
of the authorities of the city of Hamburg concerning stowaways.

The plans for the HafenCity (it won´t have nothing to do with a "port") already
have crucial influence for the stowaways and their possibilities to escape.
Two years ago, the Africa terminal (where most of the ships from Africa arrive)
was in the planning area, now it is located in the immediate vicinity of the
central guard of the harbour police". [Text in german]
