history
The Deggendorf Shipyard and Eisenbau GmbH (DWE) was founded in 1924 as a subsidiary of Gutehoffnungshütte (GHH) from Oberhausen founded. In the first few years shipyards and shipbuilding were the most important areas of the company, for various shipping companies on the Danube and far beyond that, a large number of ships such as passenger ships , ferries, barges, tugs etc. were built for inland and coastal navigation . The DWE was the driving force behind innovations in shipbuilding. So was z. For example, the first pushboat association in Europe was built in the first few years of operation or, from 1927, tugs with Voith-Schneider propulsion .
During the Second World War , DWE also received armaments contracts , which led to targeted bombing of the company premises towards the end of the war , and after the end of the war resulted in a ban on shipbuilding activities. Business operations could be maintained in the first post-war years with the iron construction, mainly through the repair and maintenance of the Danube bridges between Regensburg and Passau that were damaged or destroyed during the war .
After the ban on activities was lifted, the reconstruction and expansion of the shipyard could take place in 1949. In addition to the construction and repair of urgently needed work ships , DWE also devoted itself to the development of special barges and floating dredgers . In 1958, development activities culminated in the construction of the world's first longitudinally split workboats , and in 1983 DWE offered the first sea-going hopper excavator . Another four years later, shipbuilding activities culminated in the construction of the world's largest river cruise ship, Mozart .
Starting in 1955, the company began manufacturing reactors and apparatus for the chemical industry . Here, the development and construction of salt bath- cooled tubular reactors for PSA production became an important production pillar with the world's first high-temperature salt bath tubular reactor in 1984, the world's largest salt bath tubular reactor in 1988 and the first pressure-resistant salt bath tubular reactor in 1994. In addition to tubular reactors, the two FCC reactors for the world's largest refinery were also manufactured by DWE.
In addition to shipyard operations and reactor and apparatus construction, the profile was initially expanded with the entry into heavy equipment construction in 1990 and physical plant construction in 1996 . Here a vacuum chamber was created for the mirror coating of the ESO's Very Large Telescope or in 1998 the magnetic rings for the CMS of CERN , currently the world's largest magnet. In 2002, DWE built the test rig for the rocket engine testing of the Ariane 5 , as well as the plasma and outer vessels for the Wendelstein 7-X test reactor at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics in Greifswald .
In 2006 the vacuum tank for the KATRIN main spectrometer was manufactured. Due to its enormous dimensions (length 24 m, diameter 10 m), the vacuum tank could not be transported by land to Karlsruhe , which is around 400 km away , but on an approx. 8,600 km route across the Danube, Black Sea , Mediterranean , Atlantic and English Channel , North Sea and Rhine .
Since the takeover of GHH by MAN in 1969 and the merger of the two companies in 1986, DWE has belonged to MAN AG. The steady growth in reactor, apparatus and plant construction led to concentration on these areas in 2001 and, as a result, to the abandonment of shipyard operations.
On September 1, 2009, the merger with MAN Turbo AG on August 26, 2009 was announced; on January 1, 2010, it was merged into MAN Diesel & Turbo SE .
Regardless of the company changes, the former shipyard will continue to operate as a production site with 428 employees (as of 2012).
