The list of shipbuildings of the Teltow shipyard includes selected new ships and extensive ship repairs from the former Berlin Teltow shipyard . The shipyard, which was closed in 1962, is located on the almost 38-kilometer-long Teltow Canal in Schönow in Berlin-Zehlendorf . The federal waterway connects the Untere Havel waterway with the Dahme ( Spree-Oder waterway ). It was built between 1900 and 1906.

The Teltow shipyard

Short story

The Teltow shipyard emerged in 1924 from the construction port and building yard built in 1906 to maintain the canal . The building yard and port, which belonged to the Brandenburg district of Teltow until 1920 , originally served primarily to maintain the canal and its towing operations and towing locomotives . The owner was and remained, even after the incorporation of Zehlendorf into Greater Berlin in 1920, the district of Teltow, at the same time the owner and builder of today's federal waterway. In 1962 the shipyard ceased operations, except for minor repairs. The construction port and numerous shipyard buildings, which were mainly built according to plans by the Havestadt & Contag engineering office , are protected as cultural monuments . In the meantime owned by "B Plus Planungs-AG", a 100% subsidiary of BEHALA , according to the 2009 development plan, a residential area is to be built on the approximately 29,000 m² site , which integrates the protected shipyard buildings as evidence of canal construction of particular historical importance.

Innovative shipbuilding from the Teltow shipyard

Motor ship Lichterfelde (former Lubeca ), rebuilt in 1960 at the Teltow shipyard, at the Wannsee mooring in 2009

Since 1920, the building yard and the building harbor have been expanded into an efficient shipyard which, in addition to its original tasks, produced smaller inland vessels and excursion steamers. The shipyard performed pioneering technical work in electric arc welding , which it used innovatively in shipbuilding . With this new technology, the shipyard built the first fully welded passenger ship in Germany, the Zehlendorf , which was launched in 1927, despite the lack of official permits and numerous skeptics . Originally designed for 500 passengers, the ship was later extended by 8 meters and expanded for 730 people. After the Zehlendorf had operated without any problems for years, the skeptics were refuted. The new welding technology with its advantages - lower manufacturing costs, less weight, higher load capacity and a hull that is 20% stronger - was then used by the shipyard for other types of ships and later also for the assembly of halls and cranes.

After the Second World War , the shipyard built, among other things, passenger ships for the Stern und Kreisschiffahrt , a 100% subsidiary of Teltowkanal AG since 1934. Many ships are still on the water in the 2010s. For example, the passenger ship Lichterfelde operated by Stern- und Kreisschiffahrt, which is used in the BVG ferry service . The hull of the cell that was built in 1896 in the Oderwerke in Stettin as the steamer's lord mayor cell and is now Lichterfelde was completely rebuilt after its sinking in 1945 in the Teltow shipyard in 1959/60.

Structure of the list

  • The list of new and converted ships in the Teltow shipyard is as follows:
    • The first column names the prefix of the ship with the meaning MS for motor ship in the sense of a drive in the form of a combustion engine of the diesel engine type and its developmental predecessors and DS for steam ship . These ships were of steam engines powered different design. In addition, smaller ships were used in regular services. These are known as motor boats with the prefix MB . They were powered by a gasoline engine.
    • In the second column is the name of the ship at the time of the new construction or conversion and when it left the shipyard ready for use.
    • The third column explains the year of commissioning for new buildings and the year of operational handover to the shipowner for conversions. This abbreviated variant was chosen because more precise data on stacking runs and handovers are not available for most vehicles.
    • The fourth column provides information on the lengths, widths and drafts of the ships.
    • The fifth column contains information on the technical performance of the drive units traditionally in HP and converted into the modern form kW .
    • The sixth column, Notes, contains information on the history of the ships, conversions, earlier and later names and references to the whereabouts of the vehicle.
