The Dawartz shipyard in the old Tönninger harbor was founded in 1740 by Hinrich Dreyer. Only wooden ships were built here and it was one of the oldest wooden shipyards in Schleswig-Holstein .
history
Wooden ships have been built at the disused shipyard in the historic port of Tönning for around 375 years. It was founded in 1740, taken over by J. Jans in 1791 and by F. Dawartz in 1910.
Founding of the shipyard in 1740
The shipyard was founded by Hinrich Dreyer in Tönning in 1740 and built for around 50 years small boats, ewer and cargo sailors in the Eider region, known as Eiderschnigge , for around 50 years in the 18th and 19th centuries. The Schnigge drove on the Eider and Niederelbe, but also to England and Russia. She was a good flatwater sailor.
From 1791 Johann Jans ran the shipyard
Johann Jans continued to run the shipyard from 1791. Among other things, the full ship Waacksamheit was delivered to G. Boutin in Hamburg in 1791 , which was measured with around 350 register tons. In 1836 the schooner Ceres was delivered with 37 loads. The wooden shipyard mainly built boats and ships such as B. Schooners, Eiderschniggen and many fishing boats.
Friedrich Dawatz takes over the shipyard in 1910
The shipyard has been owned by the Dawartz family since 1919 and remained a wooden shipyard for the construction of boats and small ships until it was closed. Until the middle of the 20th century she was engaged in both shipbuilding and repairs. Around 60 new boats and ships were built during this period. They were measured between 5 and 20 GRT. From 1951 almost only repairs were carried out. Also due to the skills in wooden shipbuilding, technically demanding conversions and replicas of traditional ships were carried out in the last few years before the shipyard was closed .
Ships built
Work boats, fishing boats, ewer , lighters , small government ships and many fishing cutters were delivered . Most of the fishing trawlers went to owners from Tönning, Büsum , Husum and Friedrichskoog . The 22 GRT fishing cutter Elfriede, which was delivered in 1947, is one of the larger fishing vessels built at this shipyard.
The Mytilus , built in 1939 at the Dawartz shipyard as a shrimp cutter, is a German gaff cutter with home port Hamburg-Övelgönne, which sails with scouts and youth groups on the Baltic and North Seas.
Current situation
The old Tönninger harbor has been used mainly by sport boaters since the Eider Barrage was built . The Transformare eV association had planned to breathe a fourth life into the Dawartz shipyard with the still existing slipway as a hands-on and museum shipyard, but the project failed after the death of the last owner and the sale of the entire area by the heirs. In the meantime, a bistro is operated from spring to autumn in the shipyard hall and on the slipway.
