Braker herring fishery

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Brak herring fishery was a logger fishery . It was founded in Brake in 1904 and existed until 1927. The company had 27 loggers .

history

The background to this establishment was the low coverage of the demand for salt herring in the German Reich, but also the subsidies paid by the state, which amounted to 6,000 marks per logger and 20,000 marks for the network reserve fund. The support of the Oldenburg government was evident in that it made the necessary land on the Weser available. A share capital of 600,000 marks was raised for the foundation.

The entry in the commercial register took place in 1904 and in 1906 10 loggers were already fishing for the Braker herring fishery, several of which were supplied by the C. Lühring shipyard in Hammelwarden and the Bremer Vulkan .

The number of loggers was further increased and in 1913 a plot of land owned by Heringsfischerei Aktiengesellschaft "Weser", directly on the Weser, was taken over in Elsfleth for further expansion . This herring fishing company was founded by a Dutch shipowner . The First World War prevented the final realization of the expansion to Elsfleth and the new beginning after the war was, as with other companies, difficult. The Braker herring fishery was liquidated in 1926, sold the loggers to Emden companies and was closed in 1927.
