The paddle steamer Loschwitz was built in the Laubegast shipyard in 1899 . The ship was named Auguste Victoria with the hull number 49 in 1899 to set keel . It was the first ship that was built in the Laubegaster shipyard. In 1919 it was named Loschwitz as the third ship .
The time after commissioning until 1945
After being commissioned as an upper deck steamer , the ship ran for the Saxon-Bohemian Steamship Company (SBDG) until 1923 . After the cessation of business operations in 1923, the ship sailed for the Saxon-Bohemian Steamship Company (SBDA), which was newly founded in 1923 . The white painting of the ships, which was customary from 1926, earned it the name White Fleet . The ship was named after Auguste Victoria Empress of Germany. The ship was the largest ship in the company until the Dresden was commissioned . It had a steam steering engine and a wheelhouse. The steam control machine was built by the Übigau shipyard of the Deutsche Elbschiffahrts-Gesellschaft, chain with factory no. 236. In terms of size, it is comparable to the town of Wehlen, built in 1879 and so named since 1962 . According to today's standards, the number of passengers is likely to be around 430. In 1913 the ship collided with the Kaiser Wilhelm II in the fog between the Albertbrücke and the Carolabrücke .
In 1919, due to difficult economic conditions at the end of the First World War , the ship was laid up .
In October 1919, like all ships bearing the name of a monarch or a monarchy, it was renamed and given the name Loschwitz .
In the winter of 1927/28 it was painted white. In the summer of 1943, the Loschwitz, like all steamers, was camouflaged. Nothing is known about their use in World War II . As a result of the air raids on Dresden on February 15, 1945, a bomb hit the deck and the hull and the ship sank. However, shortly afterwards it was lifted, repaired and put back into motion.
The time after 1945
In 1946 it was incorporated into the newly founded Soviet State Oderschiffahrts-AG (SOAG) and on July 3, 1946, it was confiscated as a reparation payment and transferred to the Soviet Union . In the shipyard in Roßlau or the shipyard in Aken , the superstructures and wheel arches were removed in order to be able to pass the low bridges and narrow locks on the way to Stettin . After crossing the Baltic Sea , the ship was used as a transport ship in the Leningrad area. Nothing is known about the further whereabouts.
The steam engine
The steam engine was the company's first inclined, high-pressure two-cylinder compound steam engine with injection condensation. Like the two-flame tube cylinder boiler, it was built by the Übigau shipyard of the Deutsche Elbschiffahrts-Gesellschaft, Ketten, with factory no. 234. The power was 230 hp. The steam boiler had a steam pressure of 10 bar . The steam engine worked on two side paddle wheels.
