Hanseatic shipyard
The Hanseatische Werft GmbH is a former shipyard in Hamburg - Harburg .
history
The shipyard goes back to the Renck shipyard (Zitadellenstrasse) in Harburg's inland port. This got into financial difficulties in 1954, whereupon the Hamburg shipowner Adolph Gleue, whose paid but unfinished new building was on the helgen of the shipyard, founded the interest group Gleue Reederei and took over the shipyard. After the completion of the ship that had been started and another ship, Gleue gave up the yard and the bankruptcy proceedings were continued.
Two years later, on the initiative of the Hamburg shipowner J. A. Reinecke, the Hanseatic shipyard was built on the fallow site. Approx. 20 sea and inland vessels were built, including the type IIIc passenger ferries Wohldorf and Pöseldorf for HADAG . The ships were diesel-electric powered and had an open main deck at the stern and a removable roof made of aluminum on the upper deck.
The first car and passenger ferries from German shipyards such as Holger Danske (3,700 GRT) for a Norwegian shipping company and Nils Holgersson (3,500 GRT) for TT-Line were also built here . With the commissioning of the (first) Nils Holgersson in 1962, the regular year-round ferry service between Travemünde and Trelleborg was opened. The ship could carry 650 passengers (300 beds) and transport 90 cars or 10 trucks. The seaside resort ship Helgoland was originally started at the Hanseatic shipyard and launched as a double bottom section, but was completed at the Howaldtswerke in the course of bankruptcy.
Around 1960 the shipyard had ordered and paid for six Pielstick diesel engines for new buildings from the Ottenser Eisenwerke . Due to the collapse of their parent company Schlieker-Werft , these down payments flowed into the Schlieker bankruptcy estate. As a result, the Hanseatische Werft, which last employed 600 shipyard workers, ran into delivery and payment difficulties and finally went bankrupt in July 1962.
