Abstract ACTIVE STABILIZING DEVICE AND METHOD The invention first relates to an active stabilizing device (10) for primary damping of rolling movements of a watercraft, in particular of a ship (12), including at least one positioning device (18) including a drive journal (20) and including a stabilizing surface (16) attached to the drive journal (20) in the region of its root (22), wherein the stabilizing surface (16) 0 includes a leading edge (40) and a trailing edge (42), and the stabilizing surface (16) is disposed under water (26). According to the invention it is provided that using the positioning device 18 the stabilizing surface (16) is pivotable about a pivot axis (S) by a pivot angle (P), and is simultaneously rotatable using the positioning device (18) about an axis of rotation (D). Due to the mutually 5 suitably superposed pivot and rotational movements of the at least one stabilizing surface (16) of the stabilizing device (10), a particularly effective weakening of the rolling movements of the watercraft is possible. Furthermore the invention has as subject matter a method for operating such a stabilizing device (10).
