Drachenstationen - Kite (not Kite-Balloons, only Kites !)
The German imperial navy maintained the in the Baltic its own weather organization, the „Marine-Luftfahr-Wetterdienst“ (M.L.W.). The sea-weather-stations (name in German "Seewetterwarte“) examined the higher layers of the atmosphere (2000 - 5000 meters) among other things on winds and temperatures. The stations were equipped with pilot-balloons and Kites (not Kite-Balloons, only Kites ! See
). These stations were called in German „Drachenstation“ / „Marine-Drachen-Station“, later „Seedrachenwarte“.

Harry - as always, I am in awe of the information you find and share. This is remarkable footage. I was watching it early this morning before getting ready to head into the office and my 8 year old came back - trying to figure out the music - and watched it with me. We both were really impressed with the size of the kites.
Thank you for sharing. Wish I had information to share back with you! R |
