The shipyard Schlömer GmbH & Co. KG was a shipbuilding company in Leer (Ostfriesland) , which is established before more than a century in the district Oldersum the unit municipality Moormerland had. The focus of the operation was mainly on ship repairs and maintenance, especially of regional ferries and vehicles on the Wadden Sea. Furthermore, new builds of ferries, mudflat and inland vehicles were also offered. The shipyard had shipbuilding and repair halls as well as a slipway for ships.
history
The company was founded in 1883 as Gebr. Schlömer and was dedicated to ship repair and wooden shipbuilding. After the Second World War, in addition to repairs to river and inland vessels, the construction of fishing vessels continued and existing vessels were extended. In 1954, a new slipway was built to expand the business and the remains of Oldersum Castle were torn down.
After the expansion, the shipyard had three lengthways panties under the direction of Albert Thole, Mimkes and Johann Schlömer. In the 1960s, numerous coasters , and increasingly also inland vessels, passenger ships and special vehicles from the Schlömer brothers, began to operate. At the beginning of the 1970s, Gerhard, Heinrich and Werner Schlömer ran the business, which meanwhile offered new builds and repairs of inland, sea, special and fishing vessels up to 7.30 meters wide and pontoons up to 14 meters wide. After the expansion of the shipyard port in autumn 1974, the range was expanded to include larger ships of up to 92 meters in length and 14.60 meters in width, but continued to focus on small special ships and individual structures for authorities and institutes. From 1974 onwards, four cargo-liner type river seagoing vessels and 1978/79 the Lütjeoog buoy-ship near Schlömer.
The shipyard ran into financial difficulties in the late 1980s. In the 1990s, the company was re-established by the Damen Group in Gorinchem, the Netherlands, as Schiffswerft Schlömer GmbH & Co KG . In November 1996, the company relocated to Leer on the site of the former Jansen shipyard . Until the summer of 2002, operations were continued at the new location with the last 24 employees, but finally closed due to a lack of orders and deleted from the commercial register in January 2004.
