Roland shipyard
The Rolandwerft is a shipyard in the Warfleth district of Berne on the Lower Weser .
history
The shipyard was founded in Bremen in 1913 by the shipbuilding engineer Karl Vertens and the businessman Riechmann. After starting out as a boat and yacht yard, the construction of speedboats, minesweepers and submarine hunters for the Navy soon became the main task of the shipyard, which was located above the then new Weser weir .
In 1926, the shipbuilding engineer Schierenbeck took over the company and expanded the program to include the construction of coastal freighters and ships with special tasks. The Second World War brought another period of warship building, which was followed by the continuation of cargo ship building after the end of the war. On the 50th anniversary of the shipyard, it was possible to look back on 262 seagoing vessels. The operation was further expanded and had to bankruptcy in the spring of 1972 except coasters and resorts ships , tankers , offshore tugs and offshore supply the shipyards Hemelingen (Bremen) and Ganspe built. At the time of bankruptcy, the Heligoland ferry Helgoland and two suppliers for the Danish shipping company A. P. Möller were under construction, which were later completed at other shipyards.
On July 1, 1972, Detlef Hegemann took over the shipyard and continued to run it on an initially smaller scale with the construction of ship sections and as a repair shop. It was not until 1977 that the construction of the new ship started again with the Kümo Verena and the operation was enlarged over the years to its current status. Today the shipyard has three shipbuilding halls, a lift with transverse and longitudinal traverses and an equipment quay. Before the sale to the Bremen Lürssen Group in April 2010, the shipyard was primarily concerned with the construction, conversion and repair of cargo ships . In particular, container feeder ships of the shipyard types RW700, RW750 and RW850 in the order of magnitude of 700 to 974 TEU , anchor- handling tugs and coast guard ships were built. Before being sold to the Lürssen Group, the company belonged to the Hegemann Group as a 100% subsidiary of Peene Werft .
