Oskar Teubert ship

The Oscar-Teubert ship is one of five after the Second World War as a self-drive developed types of ships of the German inland navigation.

details

In the period after the Second World War, a large part of the units destroyed or damaged in the war had to be replaced in German inland navigation . To this end the Technical Committee took Central Association of German inland waterways his interrupted during the war back to work and developed in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Transport different to certain channel dimensions adapted standard ship types . The self-propelled committee (a sub-committee of the technical committee), under the leadership of chairman Ernst Weber, continued the interrupted pre-war work. The self-propelled committee developed the Oskar Teubert ship with the cooperation of the shipyard owner Theodor Hitzler, whose concern was the typification of inland vessels, the engineer Friedrich Kölln, who took over the construction, and the engineer Helm of the Hamburg Shipbuilding Research Institute , who led the towing tests . The ships are 53 meters long, 6.29 meters wide and 2.5 meters deep and have a load capacity of around 562 tons. The drive power was around 250 hp. After completion of the development, the members were provided with building descriptions and line plans in order to be able to implement the construction of the ship type as uniformly as possible.

Naming

The type of ship is named after Oskar Teubert, who wrote several books on inland navigation and waterways.
