The PATIO story

  • 1982

    The ship, which will later become the PATIO, is launched in Eisenhüttenstadt as the "Kienitz" push boat. It initially serves as a floating residential ship for the employees of the water and shipping authority.

    After decommissioning, Mathias Böhme buys the ship at an auction. A long-cherished dream takes shape in his mind's eye. First, however, the ship has to be completely gutted.

  • 2005

    After years of construction work on its own, the torso of the PATIO is slowly becoming recognizable.

    The interior work is also progressing.

    The jetty is prepared for the PATIO. With the support of the state government at the time, bureaucratic hurdles are avoided and the path to the actual goal is paved.

    In April, the PATIO reaches Berlin and finally docks at the Moabiter Brücke, where it receives the upper deck.

    After the grand opening in spring 2007, Berliners and their guests immediately boarded the PATIO and made it a permanent fixture in the Moabit neighborhood.

    After ten years of successful work, the big conversion: the PATIO is to have another deck under water - our bilge is born: the upper deck has to be completely dismantled, the PATIO is placed on a concrete hull, the Spree is deepened.
