The Buckau machine works of the United Magdeburger Schiffahrts-Compagnie was founded by the Magdeburger-Dampfschiffahrts-Compagnie in Buckau near Magdeburg in 1836 . It was later renamed Maschinenfabrik Buckau and built around 100 inland waterways. The shipyard is considered the nucleus of Buckau Wolf and was closed around 1900.
history

The driving force behind the establishment of a shipyard for construction and repair and our own machine factory for the construction of steam engines and boilers were Magdeburg merchants, the shipowner Mrs. Andreae and Albrecht Tischbein from Rostock. The Buckau machine factory of the United Magdeburger Schiffahrts-Compagnie delivered the first ship in 1837 with the paddle steamer Crown Prince of Prussia . This opened the regular steamship service from Magdeburg to Hamburg in 1837 . Albrecht Tischbein was the director and designer of the shipyard until 1850. In 1846 the first iron Elbe steamer, the Courier , was built in Buckau under the direction of Tischbein .
In 1866, at the machine factory and shipyard of the United Magdeburger Schiffahrts-Compagnie in Buckau, the first German chain tug with the name No. 1 for the United Hamburg-Magdeburg Steamship Company was built. Twelve chain tugs were built for the parent company, which started chain shipping on the Elbe in 1866 .
Mainly tug steamers for the Elbe were built at the shipyard , which were usually designed as paddle steamers because of the low water levels . In addition, many barges, some passenger steamers and several bucket excavators were built. Chain tractors were also designed and built for the chain towing company Oberelbe in Dresden. Four gunboats were built for the Prussian Navy in 1849 and the North German Lloyd had several soul lights built here.
In 1884 it merged with the German Elbe Shipping Company in Dresden- Übigau . As part of this merger, a tool shop and a larger boiler shop were built. In the course of time, the focus shifted more and more from shipbuilding to mechanical engineering and the shipyard was closed around 1900. It is considered to be the nucleus of the Buckau R. Wolf machine factory .
