Alte Utting

The ship, which has a length of {{convert|36.4|m|ftin}}, a width of {{convert|7.5|m|ftin}} and a capacity of 400 passengers, was built by the Deggendorfer Werft und Eisenbau Gesellschaft in 1949 and she was used as a passenger ship MS Utting on the Ammersee lake in Upper Bavaria from 1950 to 2016.{{cite web |url=http://www.seenschifffahrt.de/fileadmin/daten/downloads/ammersee/Utting.pdf | title=Ein Schiff mit Charakter und Ausstrahlung |trans-title=A ship with character and charisma |language=de |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160708070614/http://www.seenschifffahrt.de/fileadmin/daten/downloads/ammersee/Utting.pdf |archive-date=July 8, 2016 | access-date=September 22, 2019}}{{cite web |url=https://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/print/d-43063611.html|title=Studien am Comer See |trans-title=Studies at Lake Como |language=de |date=August 1, 1956 |work=Der Spiegel | pages=23–24 |access-date=September 22, 2019}}

The ship was decommissioned in 2016 and then bought by the Kulturverein Wannda e.V. in Munich, which by then already had made a name for itself with other subcultural projects such as the nightclub Bahnwärter Thiel or the permanent festival Wannda Circus, and which was able to finance the project from the revenues of these event locations.{{cite web |last=Karl |first=Bastian |url=https://www.bild.de/regional/muenchen/schiff/ms-utting-noch-immer-baustelle-54315804.bild.html |title=Umbau-Stau auf der MS Utting: Hat sich der Party-Kapitän verhoben? |work=Bild |trans-title=Delay of the conversion of the MS Utting: Has the party captain overstretched himself? |language=de |date=December 28, 2017 |access-date=September 22, 2019}} On 21 and 22 February 2017 the hull of the ship and the superstructures were transported from the Ammersee lake to Munich. For the night-time transport to Munich, the Autobahn had to be closed by the police. After its arrival in Munich, the 144-ton ship was deployed on a former railway bridge close to the Wholesale Market Munich that crosses an inner-city arterial road, and the conversion to a nightlife and cultural venue started.{{cite web |last1=Berzl |first1=Michael |last2=Knoll |first2=Günther |url=https://www.sueddeutsche.de/muenchen/ms-utting-das-schiff-neu-zu-bauen-waere-billiger-1.3390954 |title="Das Schiff neu zu bauen, wäre billiger" | work=Süddeutsche Zeitung |trans-title="To build a new ship would be cheaper" |language=de |date=February 22, 2017 |access-date=September 22, 2019}} Due to tremendous static and safety-relevant requirements the opening of the venue was delayed for more than one year.{{cite web |last=Kaufmann |first=Laura |url=https://www.sueddeutsche.de/muenchen/ms-utting-partyschiff-sendling-eisenbahnbruecke-1.3985560 |title=Partyschiff in Sendling: Die MS Utting legt bald ab | work=Süddeutsche Zeitung |trans-title=Party ship in Sendling: Soon the MS Utting casts off |language=de |date=May 18, 2018 |access-date=September 22, 2019}} On 12 July 2018 the former ship was christened to the name Alte Utting on the railway bridge by the head of the municipal planning and building control office Julia Schönfeld-Knor.{{cite web |last=Kaufmann |first=Laura |url=https://www.sueddeutsche.de/muenchen/schiff-utting-sendling-1.4053091 |title=Alte Utting: Münchens Schiff hat einen Namen |work=Süddeutsche Zeitung |trans-title=Alte Utting: Munich's ship has a name |language=de | date=July 13, 2018 | access-date=September 22, 2019}} After completion of the reconstruction measures, the party ship has been open daily since 26 July 2018{{cite web |url=https://www.charivari.de/muenchen/aktuell/alte-utting-eroeffnung/7477354 |title=Großes Eröffnungswochenende: Die "Alte Utting" feiert Eröffnung |work=Radio Charivari |trans-title=Huge opening weekend: The "Alte Utting" celebrates its opening |language=de |date=July 26, 2018 |access-date=September 22, 2019 |archive-date=September 23, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190923013202/https://www.charivari.de/muenchen/aktuell/alte-utting-eroeffnung/7477354 |url-status=dead }} and is primarily used as a bar, restaurant, discothèque (in the engine room), music venue and cabaret stage.{{cite web |last=Dürr |first=Anke |url=http://www.spiegel.de/plus/muenchen-wie-das-schiff-alte-utting-auf-die-bruecke-kam-a-083a1df9-7109-41c5-8530-f3d972c985f6 |title=Spektakuläres Kulturprojekt in München: Wie das Schiff auf die Brücke kam |trans-title=Spectacular culture project in Munich: How the ship came onto the bridge |language=de |date=July 25, 2018 |work=Spiegel Online |access-date=September 22, 2019}}{{cite web |last=Zirnstein |first=Michael |url=https://www.sueddeutsche.de/kultur/subkultur-bahnwaerter-thiel-alte-utting-hahn-1.4185110 |title=Subkultur: Wir arbeiten mit Sachen, die sonst keiner will |trans-title=Subculture: We work with things no one else wants |language=de |date=October 26, 2018 |work=Süddeutsche Zeitung |access-date=October 28, 2018}}{{cite web |url=https://www.alte-utting.de/programm |title=Official program of the Alte Utting |access-date=September 22, 2019}} As the Alte Utting quickly established itself as an attraction that is known far beyond the city borders, local politicians plan to preserve it permanently.{{cite web |last= |first= |url=https://www.abendzeitung-muenchen.de/inhalt.dauerhafter-liegeplatz-muenchner-spd-alte-utting-soll-weiter-in-sendling-ankern.2471b116-5d85-449d-800d-b02bfc542840.html |title=Dauerhafter Liegeplatz: Münchner SPD: "Alte Utting" soll weiter in Sendling ankern |trans-title=Permanent berth: Munich's SPD: "Alte Utting" is supposed to stay in Sendling |language=de |date=July 25, 2019 |work=Abendzeitung |access-date=September 22, 2019}}

The Alte Utting and its cultural events regularly receive media attention by local, nationwide and international media. The New York Times described the Alte Utting as an example of hip night life spots in Munich "that could give Berlin a run for its money". According to the Süddeutsche Zeitung, the Alte Utting has become "a kind of landmark" of the city of Munich.{{cite web |last1=Britzelmeier |first1=Elisa |last2=Lutz |first2=Christiane |url=https://www.sueddeutsche.de/wirtschaft/alte-utting-muenchen-daniel-hahn-interview-1.4711207?reduced=true |title="Das Schiff war das Billigste" |trans-title=The ship itself was the least cost factor |work=Süddeutsche Zeitung |language=de |date=6 December 2019 |access-date=6 December 2019}}
