history
The ship, designed for 756 passengers and equipped with a Telefunken station, was delivered on December 11, 1913 and completed its maiden voyage. During the First World War it was used from March 18, 1916 as a guide boat for an outpost flotilla of the Imperial Navy . It was taken over again by HAPAG immediately after the end of the war. From 1919 the Bubendey was used in the seaside service and from October 1920 also in the sea service in East Prussia . In 1930 she was sold to Norddeutscher Lloyd and renamed Glückauf 2 . She was also used in the seaside resort service, but also as a tender . In 1938 a conversion took place in order to be able to quickly convert the ship into a hospital ship if necessary .
During the Second World War , the ship was used by the Navy : On September 20, 1939, it was put into service as the first small hospital ship for the Navy and was used as such from September 29, 1939 until the end of the war. In 1940 it was to take part in the Sea Lion Operation; But this did not happen.
After the end of the war, the OMGUS continued to use the ship as a hospital ship, but the NDL was soon able to take over the Glückauf 2 again and chartered it to HAPAG in 1948 and 1949. The ship was launched in 1950 and then converted into a motor ship in 1954 . One of the two chimneys was removed. The Glückauf 2 was now driven with used 6-cylinder Wumag Görlitz diesel engines that had 1,800 hp and with which the ship reached a speed of 15 knots . It was now designed for 724 passengers.
It operated in the Bremen seaside resort service and in the Helgoland service until 1960 . From April 12, 1960, the ship, now under the name Kehrwieder , was managed by Hafen-Dampfschiffahrt-AG (HADAG), and on July 11, 1961 it was taken over by Jade Schiffahrts GmbH. After the sale to Soc. Traghetti del Lazio in March 1963 a new name change took place. The ship that was now sailing in Gaeta Bay was now called Isola del Sole . In 1965, after being sold to Giovanni Cafeoro and then to Libera Navigazione Lauro SAS, it was renamed again and now operated under the name Anna Maria Lauro in the Gulf of Naples . On April 14, 1986 it was sold to Palermo and then scrapped.
