The 21-meter cutter was a series of 17 fishing cutters that were built by the D. W. Kremer Sohn shipyard in Elmshorn from 1945 to 1949, starting with the plaice .
Most of the 21 meter long ships went to the shipping company Weidtmann & Ballin , others to the Glückstadt herring fishery and two to the shipping company F. Laeisz in Hamburg .
Eleven of the cutters, including the Plisch and the Plum , were sold in 1949 to the later VEB Fischkombinat Saßnitz in exchange for sugar delivery . This gave them the nickname Zuckerkutter . Seven of the sugar cutters came to the Coastal Border Brigade of the German Democratic Republic in 1965 after being converted as border cutters . Six of the border cutters were broken up by 1988. The border cutter G 762 was used for a short time after 1988 for nationally owned fishing.
The ship put into service as Plum remained a fishing trawler and came to Łeba in Poland in the 2000s , where it sailed the Baltic Sea with fishing tourists as DR Słowik - like the MS Barents-See in Rostock , which was also preserved . Two more of the Sassnitz cutters are in the Netherlands.
Kutter Meta Schröter is now called Margrit and operates as a floating "ice cream parlor Zuckerkutter" in Bremerhaven.
history
After the Second World War, both shipbuilding and shipping were strictly regulated by the occupying powers. New buildings of the former armaments factory D. W. Kremer Sohn in Elmshorn were limited to fishing trawlers, as they served the basic needs of the population. Kremer first built three cutters on his own account: 1945 Scholle (construction number 944) and Dorsch (945), 1946 Stint (946). Since they were easy to sell, the shipyard launched a series of 14 cutters with a length of 21 meters in 1946. When designing, emphasis was placed on good sailing properties, three auxiliary sails should keep fuel consumption low. Before the last two construction numbers, the shipyard began building a new series of six cutters - starting with the Kehrwieder - with a length of 18 meters.
delivery
For the shipping company F. Laeisz the order of the Plisch and the Plum meant a new beginning after the Second World War . Most of their ships were lost in the war to bombs, torpedoes and sea mines. The refrigerated ships Panther , Pelikan and Pontos were delivered to the United Kingdom in 1945/1946 , the last Flying P-Liner Padua and the dry freighter Paloma went to the Soviet Union , the latter after the return of Polish forced laborers to Gdynia . F. Laeisz acquired the two cutters in Elmshorn in order to maintain the shipping business in terms of sales and seafaring. According to the old tradition, which began in 1857 with the Bark Pudel , they were also given names beginning with "P": Plisch and Plum , known from the picture story by Wilhelm Busch . The crews came from Finkenwerder such as Captain Behrens, who later became the shipping company's inspector . The two cutters caught fish in the North and Central Baltic Seas. The Laeisz shipping company may also have commissioned the Cutter Planet . However, this was delivered to two partner shipowners from Hamburg and Burgstaaken.
Other customers were the Glückstädter Heringsfischerei and Weidtmann & Ballin in Hamburg as correspondent shipper for five partner shipowners with the cutters Alsterfleet , Werna , Gunnel , Süllberg and Wiebke .
Sale to Sassnitz / "Zuckerkutter" / SAS-Kutter
With the introduction of the Deutsche Mark in June 1948, the yields and the value of the vehicles fell. F. Laeisz and Weidtmann & Ballin sold 11 of the unprofitable cutters in the summer of 1949 to the VVB Fischwirtschaft Saßnitz (since 1952 VEB Fischkombinat Sassnitz) via Deutscher Außenhandel (DAHA ). It was a barter , was paid with sugar. The "Zuckerkutter" were given new names and the fishing codes SAS 201 to SAS 211.
So the cutter Plum SAS 205 became Saxony-Anhalt and Plisch SAS 208 Bremen .
In 1958 the ships were modernized and received more powerful marine diesel engines SKL 6 NVD 36 from VEB Schwermaschinenbau “Karl Liebknecht” with 224 hp . The speed was increased to nine knots and the range of action was 3700 nautical miles .
Border cutter class "SAS" of the GDR
In 1965, seven of the eleven were sugar cutters to limit trawlers of SAS-class rebuilt. These had a water displacement of 90 tons, a speed of eleven knots and no permanently installed armament. They were put into service with the Coastal Border Brigade between September 13 and October 27, 1965 as G 91 to G 97 . From 1976 the cutters were used as "floating control points ", they were given the numbers G 60 to G 65 , while G 97 (ex SAS 209 Hamburg ) was decommissioned on April 29, 1976 and canceled. The others were retired from April 24, 1985 to September 30, 1988. The scraper waited for the cutter except for G 762 (ex G 94 , G 62 ).
Whereabouts
The cutter planet, with Wilhelmshaven as its home port, was landed in Polish waters in the early 1950s and has since been considered lost.
Wega was later renamed Holstein and registered with SE 5 in Seester . The Holstein sank north of Heligoland in the summer of 1970 .
Meta Schröter fished with the fishing license plate HF 500 from Hamburg-Finkenwärder. In 1962 it was sold in Finkenwärder, extended and given new superstructures, a more powerful engine and the name Maike and fished with the same fishing license for 30 years from Finkenwärder and only went out in 1992 a. D. After a long lay-in time and repair, she was put back into service and ran from Bremerhaven with the new fishing license plate ABh1N and new name Pascal , later as Margrit in the Hamen fishery on the Weser. After its final decommissioning in 2016, a conversion to make it suitable for the tropics and a sale to West Africa that failed in 2017, the cutter was resold in Bremerhaven. After another renovation, the ship has been used as a floating café in Bremerhaven since March 2019 and, based on the nickname of the cutter sold in the GDR, operates under the name "Eiscafé Zuckerkutter".
Information on the whereabouts of the Kutter Doggerbank , Nordsee and Mollex IV is still missing .
Six of the seven border cutters were scrapped after being decommissioned. Only the former SAS 206 Greater Berlin , as Stralsund from running batch was used again in the fishing and went as a WAR 50 age current to the fishing cooperative Warnemünde . After the reunification, the cutter was sold to Haarlem in the Netherlands .
Of the remaining four Sassnitz cutters, SAS 201 Mecklenburg (new STR 174) and SAS 203 Saxony (STR 175) came to Stralsund in 1964/1965 . The Mecklenburg came to the Netherlands in 1992. The Sachsen went to Rostock in 1991 as the meanwhile extensively rebuilt MS Barents-See and serves fishing tourists there.
From Plum of launches SAS 205 was after delivery on 21 October 1949 Saxony-Anhalt . In 1970 she came to Karlshagen on Usedom and was registered as KAR 46. Resold to Poland in the 2000s, today it sails as DR Słowik von Łeba (German Leba) with fishing tourists on the Baltic Sea . The cutter was spared major modifications, the license plate KAR 46 can be seen under the paint.
The fate of SAS 209 Hamburg is still unclear .
