The Ostseewerft or Ostsee-Werft was a shipyard in Herrenwieser Str. 6 in Stettin - Frauendorf .
history
The shipyard was founded in 1917 as the Ostsee-Werft Schiffbau und Maschinenfabrik Aktien-Gesellschaft. Hartmann Freiherr von Richthofen was the chairman of the supervisory board . The starting capital of 6 million marks was evenly divided into 6,000 shares. In 1924 these shares were converted to 400 gold marks each .
Passenger and cargo ships, marine and agricultural machinery as well as steam boilers were manufactured and repaired at the shipyard. It had three floating docks and a floating crane with a lifting capacity of 80 t. The main buyer and shareholder was the shipowner Emil R. Retzlaff , who operated a shipping company. Retzlaff bought Nüscke & Co. in 1929 and merged them with the Osteewerft to turn it into the Merkur-Werft. When Retzlaff's shipping company went bankrupt in 1931, this also meant the end for the Ostseewerft. It was foreclosed in 1932.

Individual evidence
- ↑ a b OSTSEE-WERFT SCHIFFBAU UND MASCHINENFABRIK AKTIEN-GESELLSCHAFT at www.dieter-engel.com , there is a picture of a share that shows the temporary spelling of the shipyard's name with a hyphen. See, however, Dirk J. Peters, Deutsche Werften in the interwar period (1918–1939). T. 2. Symptoms of the crisis. Closures, closings, mergers and innovations (1924–1934) , in: Deutsches Schiffahrtsarchiv 32, 2009, pp. 173–222, here p. 208 and www.familienforschung-seemann.de . There is no hyphen in the spelling of the name on photographs of the shipyard, cf. about sedina.pl .
- ↑ The indication of the founding year 1914 on steamships.jimdofree.com is probably wrong .
