Shipyards in Bremerhaven
At the Geeste estuary in the lower Weser area many settled from 1800 to 1900 yards and repair shops for shipping to. In Bremerhaven and Geestemünde , however, this development did not begin until later, after Bremerhaven and Geestemünde were founded. As in Hamburg and Bremen , however, almost all of the shipyards listed here closed over the course of time. Only the shipyards mainly active in the repair sector, such as Lloyd Werft , Germay Dry Docks (emerged from MWB Motorenwerke Bremerhaven and Rickmers-Lloyd ) and BREDO, survived at this important and traditional shipyard location.
Founding of Bremerhaven (1827)
The church villages Geestendorf and Wulsdorf were mentioned in a document around 1140, Lehe as the official seat and market place around 1275. Vegesack replaced Bremen as a port because of the growing siltation of the Weser; when the ships could no longer call at Vegesack either, a suitable place was sought at the mouth of the Weser. In 1827 the Bremen Senate and the Kingdom of Hanover signed the contract for a suitable site for the new Bremen port. As early as 1830, a first artificial harbor basin, the Old Harbor, was inaugurated parallel to the Weser. Soon afterwards (1845) the Kingdom of Hanover founded a new village (Geestemünde) in the south of Bremerhaven and also built a port. In 1851 Bremerhaven received city rights. The Prussian towns of Geestemünde and Lehe, located on the Geeste and Weser rivers, were united in 1924 to form the new town of Wesermünde. In 1939 Bremerhaven was incorporated into Wesermünde and in 1947 Wesermünde was renamed Bremerhaven.
Shipyards in Bremerhaven (1834 to 1900)
In the Lower Weser area at the mouth of the Geeste, many shipyards and repair shops for shipping settled between 1800 and 1900. In Bremerhaven and Geestemünde, however, this development did not begin until later, after the establishment of Bremerhaven and Geestemünde, new shipyards were also built in the fishing port and trading port. FW Wencke founded the first shipyard in 1833 and one year later RC Rickmers also founded a shipyard in Bremerhaven, which later moved to the Geestemünder area due to lack of space. In addition, Bremen shipyards such as C. Lange (1837) and HF Ulrichs (1855) founded a branch with a building site and dry dock for repair purposes in Bremerhaven due to the shipment of the Weser . Three of these four shipyards were later sold around 1900 to the coppersmith Georg Seebeck , who had previously taken over the Schau & Oltmanns dock and shipyard company founded in 1853.
Cornelius Jantzen Cornelius (1821 to)
The Schiffszimmerbaas Cornelius Jantzen Cornelius came from Hooksiel and had leased a plot of land on the Geeste from the Hanoverian government in Lehe since 1821 . In the lease agreement, he undertook to create a slipway for new buildings and to set up a place for the repair of the ships used on the Weser .
CJC Cornelius died in 1842 and his son, who had the same name as his father, took over the yard. He was a shipbuilder, but as a shipbuilder he hardly came to the fore. He ran a restaurant next to the shipyard, to which he paid a lot of attention. The shipyard was mainly used for ship repairs.
FW Wencke (1833 to 1900)
The shipyard was built in Bremerhaven as the first shipyard in 1833 at the mouth of the Geeste on a leased property. The slipway was built in 1834 and a dry dock from 1845 to 1846, the second in Germany. This had two chambers with a length of 52 meters and 32 meters respectively as well as a common 11 meter wide entrance and was enlarged in 1860.
The first new building at this shipyard was also the first seagoing ship built in Bremerhaven. With the paddle steamer Manchester for the Hanseatische Dampfschiffahrtsgesellschaft in Hamburg, Wencke delivered his first sea-going steamer in 1841. At 520 RT, it was his largest ship for the next ten years. Only the full ship Olbers , built for Wätjen in 1851, was bigger with 831 RT. Two of his new buildings, the boats Tusneld a and Tusnelde were 1,858 delivered to his own, based in Langen shipping company. In 1860 the dry dock was enlarged and renewed.
Two ships are still associated with the Wencke name today, it is the 1125-RT full-rigged ship Hansa , which took part in the second German polar expedition in 1869/70 under the direction of Carl Koldewey . The first German fish steamer, the Sagitta , became even better known . It was built in 1885 and delivered to the Friedrich Busse shipping company . She was immediately a very successful new type of ship, which was then ordered by several fishing companies. Six stern paddle steamers of various sizes were built for Colombia in the 1890s. The three-masted schooner Richard Hagen , delivered to the Paulsen and Ivers shipping company in 1900, was the last ship of this innovative shipyard.
The shipbuilding pioneer and shipyard founder Friedrich Wilhelm Wencke died in 1859, and the shipyard and shipping company was continued by his son-in-law Friedrich Wilhelm Albert Rosenthal and, from 1881, by his son Nicolaus Diedrich Wencke. In 1900 the shipyard was closed and later sold to Georg Seebeck.
Rickmers (1834 to 1986)
The Rickmers family, rooted in Heligoland , lived like almost all Heligoland from the sea, from fishing and from seafaring. Rickmer Clasen Rickmers , born in 1807, learned the trade of a ship's carpenter at a boat builder and then went to sea. He married in 1831, helped his father fish and passed his pilotage exam . He built two sloops on Heligoland , which he was able to sell well in young Bremerhaven. That was the decisive factor in moving to Bremerhaven, where he worked for the master carpenter CJ Cornelius as a foreman with the option of working as a pilot after work and building boats on his own account. With diligence and thrift he reached his first goal in 1834, bought a piece of land, had a small house built with a workshop and started his own business. The location of the house was unfavorable, however, as larger boats could only be transported to the Geeste with great effort.
Your own shipyard
In 1836, a plot of land was leased directly on the then almost undeveloped Geeste and a small shipyard was built, which was enlarged after just 3 years. Now larger ships such as barques and galiots up to 400 tons were built. In 1842 Rickmers became a shipowner and participated in two ships for the transport of emigrants . In 1843 the first full ship (850 tons) was built, which was built as a whaler for the Bremer Südsee-Compagnie . In the meantime 100 men worked at the shipyard, in 1850 there were 300. Competitors had settled on the Geeste, who had dry docks in addition to building sites. The war with Denmark (1848-1851) led to the shipowners stopping shipping due to the blockade of the Elbe and Weser rivers. Not for Rickmers, a native of Heligoland, who now operated his ships under the English flag. Since the bureaucracy prevented expansion on the Bremen side, he moved to the Geesthelle on the Hanover side of the Geeste in 1857. Here, with almost 65,000 m², it had about ten times the space. He was finally able to realize his plans and, in addition to the shipyard facilities, also built a house for his family and a row of houses for his workers.
Around 1860 Rickmers began to employ his sailing ships in the journey, as fast steamers had broken into the profitable tea business. In 1872 this led to the company taking a stake in a rice mill in Bremen and later taking it over completely. It was run by his son Andreas. Rickmers was one of the founders of the Geestemünder Bank and participated in the establishment of the German steamship company "Hansa" .
Shipyard shutdown (1924) and shipyard closure (1986)
Peter Rickmers , who managed the shipping company, took over the management of the shipyard after the death of his father in 1886. He received practical training as a shipbuilder, then completed a degree at the Technical University of Hanover and introduced iron shipbuilding at the shipyard. Steamers were also built, initially mainly fish steamers and from 1900 increasingly freight steamers , mainly for the company's own shipping company. The First World War led to the temporary closure of the shipyard, after which outpost boats were built. After the war, the shipping company had to deliver all ships. Until 1924, the shipyard was busy rebuilding its own fleet in addition to manufacturing fish steamers. After that, there were no orders, and Paul Rickmers, who was now the third generation to manage the shipyard, closed the shipyard. In 1934, the 100th birthday was documented in an anniversary publication and celebrated with many guests. In 1937 the shipyard was reopened, modernized and mainly built fish steamers and increasingly ships and lighters for the navy. During the Second World War , mine sweepers were mainly delivered. A bomb attack on Bremerhaven in 1944 also destroyed most of the shipyard and ships under construction. In the meantime, Bertram Rickmers, the fourth generation of shipbuilders, was at the shipyard, who initially manufactured peat excavators and circus wagons.
The construction of fish steamers began around 1948, and until 1972, in addition to freighters, some for their own account, two reefer ships , many fish steamers, fishing motor ships, stern trawlers and factory ships were built. Through several innovations, such as optimized ship shapes to improve sea behavior, early motorization and the introduction of the stern catcher, the Rickmers shipyard had become the leading shipyard for fishing vessels.
In 1967 the repair shop and the equipment department for the new building moved to the fishing port. In 1970 the first RoRo ships were built, which, along with freighters and a few special ships , represented the construction program for the next 10 years. Other freighters and some medium-sized container ships followed. In 1986 the shipyard was closed.
J. Lange and C. Lange (1837 to 1884)
Johann Lange founded a shipyard on the Aue in Bremen-Vegesack in 1805, close to where the Lesum flows into the Weser. In 1837 he opened a branch in Bremerhaven, which was intended solely as a repair shop. A dry dock was built for this purpose, which was completed in 1840 and is considered the oldest dry dock in Germany. After the death of J. Lange (1841), his son Carl Lange continued the Bremerhaven business. New ships were built from 1850 and a second dry dock was built around 1860. The shipyard was sold to Georg Seebeck in 1895.
JS Abegg (1841 to 1843)
In 1840/41 Jan Simon Abegg founded a new shipyard next to the Rickmerschen shipyard, with the financial participation of the Bremen shipowner Franz Tecklenborg . Four wooden sailing ships were built, in 1843 Franz Tecklenborg took over the business due to initial difficulties, which then became very well known as the Joh. C. Tecklenborg shipyard.
Joh. C. Tecklenborg (1845 to 1928)
In 1844 the shipyard was taken over from JS Abegg by the financier Franz Tecklenborg , the brother Johann Carl Tecklenborg took over the rental agreement from Abegg in 1845 and continued the business under his own name. In addition to two helges , a forge and a carpenter's workshop, there were storage sheds and accommodation for the workers. In 1853 Tecklenborg had a dry dock built on the Geestemünder side, which was inaugurated in 1855 as the König-Georg-Dock and was in operation for more than 100 years. The wooden deep-water sailors built by this shipyard, almost all three-masted barges, had 400 to 1000 register tons.
Georg W. Claussen was in charge of the company from 1869 and introduced iron shipbuilding and steam propulsion, which, as an auxiliary propulsion system on sailing ships, brought many advantages, particularly in terms of maneuverability and in the area. The polar research ships Germania and Admiral Thegethoff were built in 1869 and 1872. The first iron cargo steamer was delivered to DDG Hansa in 1883. In the following time, in addition to freight steamers, tugboats, passenger steamers and fish steamers, full steel ships and four-masted barques were built, the Potosi for the Laeisz shipping company with around 3755 GRT was one of the largest ships up to the turn of the century. Only the first tanker steamer built in Germany for overseas traffic , August Korff, was larger. The five-mast full ship Prussia (5080 GRT) also had a larger volume than many steam freighters of that time. From 1897 onwards, several combined freight / passenger steamers such as the Assyria, Scharnhorst, Roon, Bülow and in 1908 the Reichspoststampfer Prinz Friedrich Wilhelm (17,000 GRT) and in 1915 the passenger steamer Johann Hinrich Burkhard (around 19,600 GRT) weredelivered for Hapag and Norddeutscher Lloyd.
During the First World War , minesweepers were built alongside cargo steamers . After the war, the shipyard participated in the reconstruction of the German merchant fleet and, in addition to cargo steamers, many fish steamers were built at the shipyard. The slack in shipbuilding in the mid-1920s led to the merger with AG Weser to form Deschimag ; During this time the four-masted barque Padua and the training ship Deutschland were delivered, which still exist today. In 1928 the shipyard was closed and dismantled. The navy took over the site of the former shipyard, and the Seebeck shipyard received the König-Georg-Dock.
Schau & Oltmanns (1852 to 1891)
In 1852 the shipbuilders Diedrich Bernhard Oltmanns and Hans Sonne Schau, who came from Brake , bought a shipbuilding site on the Geestemünder bank of the Geeste . Here they built a dry dock for repairing and building ships by 1855. The construction brought the shipyard owners into financial difficulties, and therefore the company was renamed Geestemünder Dockkompagnie in 1855. From 1866 the shipyard operated as the Geestemünder Dockgesellschaft. Since the conversion to iron shipbuilding did not take place, it became more and more difficult to get new building orders. In 1891 shipbuilding was given up after the completion of around 30 wooden sailors and the company and the site were sold to Georg Seebeck.
HF Ulrichs (1850 to 1895)
In 1838 Hermann Friedrich Ulrichs failed to build a shipyard in Bremerhaven. His establishment in Bremen-Vegesack in the same year was successful, however, and in 1850 he expanded his activities to Bremerhaven and in 1852 built a dry dock on the right bank of the Geeste in order to participate in the lucrative repair business of the seaside town. From 1855 he built a Helgen and mainly built barges for Bremen shipowners. In 1864 he had a double dry dock built for the repair business. After Ulrich's death in 1865, his sons continued to run the business. In Bremerhaven, the transition from timber to iron and steel shipbuilding was not carried out. This is another reason why the shipyard in Bremerhaven was closed in 1890 and sold to Georg Seebeck in 1895.
Lloyd Werft Bremerhaven (1862/70 until today)
Seebeck shipyard (1876 to 2009)
From the Delphin shipyard to SUAG (1903 to 1972)
The Delphin shipyard emerged from a shipyard founded around 1870 on the Geeste and built small ships, motor boats and lighters. In 1904 it was transferred to the Delphin shipyard Riedemann & Co and in 1905 was converted into the limited partnership Schiffswerft Delphin GmbH. In 1908 the shipyard went bankrupt and was continued by Riedemann until 1910, after which it became the Schiffbaugesellschaft Unterweser mbH, which was converted into a stock corporation in 1921. In 1918 a branch with several patent slip systems was opened in the fishing port, which carried out repair work on fish steamers.
The strongly meandering Geeste in the area of the shipyard required cross helmets, from which the ships, mainly fish steamers, ran broadside from the stack. Later there was also a lengthwise helm upstream. The construction of fishing trawlers and cargo ships became the main business after 1945 and the ferry ships commissioned in the 1960s forced a stronger cross helm.
In 1972 the shipbuilding company Unterweser merged with the Schichau Werft to form Schichau Unterweser AG (SUAG) . In addition to fishing vessels, ferries were built and special ships were also designed and built.
M. Sieghold (1924 to 1988)
In 1924 Max Sieghold founded a company consisting of a forge and locksmith's shop, which was later moved to the fishing port and also carried out ship repairs. In 1937 a floating dock was acquired, which was mainly used for repairing and converting fishing vessels. From 1950 onwards, the intensive new construction of small ships took place, mainly tugs and fishing cutters for Bremerhaven and Bremen shipowners. Freighters up to around 1500 tons and several tankers up to 500 tons were also designed and built. In 1971 five tuna vessels with 290 GRT were built for foreign accounts and by 1980 eight tugs were built for the towing , shipping and rescue companies. Until the closure in 1988, mainly fishing trawlers and small stern trawlers were delivered. Shipbuilding was ended in 1988. After that, ship repairs have been carried out on the site and, since 2009, Abeking & Rasmussen has been building and equipping ships .
Schichau shipyard (1945 to 1972)
In April 1945, the Schichau shipyard in Bremerhaven was established as a refugee company of Hermann Noë's Schichau works, which last had over 40,000 employees . Some hulls of submarines and torpedo boats were already in Bremerhaven. They were supposed to be finally assembled by Schichau workers in Kaiserhafen II in Bremerhaven, but the end of the war thwarted these plans. After a difficult new beginning on the former Schuchmann site in the New Harbor, smaller ships such as tugs and fishing cutters and inland tankers were built. Since the area was too small for helges and slips, the ships were stacked into the water with floating cranes.
The floating dock with a load capacity of 3,000 t, which was transferred from Danzig to Lübeck in good time, was owned by the Lübeck Flender Works and was awarded to England. The federal government bought it back from England along with other floating docks, and it was returned to Schichau Werft in 1953 after long and difficult negotiations. It was located in Bremerhaven's Kaiserhafen III at the southern end of the Bananenkaje. In 1968 the dock was extended by 24 m and a crane was added. The floating dock and the extension were put together in a dry dock of today's Lloyd shipyard and can lift 4,000 t since then.
The Schichau Werft could not build on the great success of its predecessor Schichau-Werke, which expanded into a huge company from 1837 to 1945 through sophisticated products, good business policy, growth, but also through the purchase of other companies. On the other hand, at the beginning of the 1960s, it was considered the leading specialist shipyard for tractor construction. The world's most powerful salvage tugs like the Pacific , Oceanic and Arktic were built here for the Bugsier Reederei Hamburg and were used as deep-sea and salvage tugs. They had a drive power of 10,000 HP, which was later increased to 13,000 HP by installing new drive systems. The development and construction of large flame cutting machines was successful, the Schichau Monopol machine was sold worldwide. The shipyard crisis at the beginning of the 1970s led to great difficulties at many shipyards, including the Schichau shipyard. In 1972 the Schichau shipyard merged with the shipbuilding company Unterweser to form Schichau Unterweser AG (SUAG).
MWB Motorenwerke Bremerhaven (1957 to today)
In 1957, the Industrie-Verwaltungs-Gesellschaft (IVG) took over the "Ship Repair Department" (SRD) company from the American Navy, which initially cleared mines primarily with former German marines. After that, work was carried out for the German Navy. From 1957 to 1994 the company was called Motorenwerke Bremerhaven and dealt with the repair of clearing boats and other ships. After the construction of engine test stands, engine repairs became an important pillar. A 3,000-ton floating dock intensified shipbuilding activities, initially through repairs and modifications, and later also with ship extensions. The dock was soon too small and was swapped for a 4500 ton dock. A floating dock with 8,500 tons of lifting capacity was added later.
In 1975 an electronics department was set up, and combined heat and power units and test stands were designed and built in the new plant engineering department. In special shipbuilding, the focus was on seismic ships, which are mainly used for oil exploration. Also pollution vessels and fresh fish trawlers were designed and built. In 1994 part of the company was sold to Dieter Petram , who has since operated under the name of Motorenwerke Bremerhaven AG. In 1995 a multi-purpose freighter was delivered, which was built with the support of the Elbe shipyard Boizenburg . Russian research ships are regular guests, the repair and renewal of these special ships ensures regular employment.
The MET were 2013, also for Petram group belonging Rickmers Lloyd Dock operation for German Dry Docks merged. It has four of its own docks in Bremerhaven, and there is also a cooperation with the Lloyd shipyard on two further large docks. In July 2019 Petram sold all of its shipbuilding activities in Bremerhaven (Bredo and German Dry Docks) to the Rönner Group.
Bredo (Bremerhavener Dock GmbH 1996 to today)
Bremerhaven Dock GmbH was founded in 1986 as an independent dock operating company of the parent company Seebeckwerft AG and four other Bremerhaven entrepreneurs as shareholders. In 1996 Schichau Seebeckwerft AG filed for bankruptcy and BREDO began operating in 1996 with three floating docks at the location in the fishing port. In addition to ship repairs and conversions, ship extensions and the completion of new ships were carried out. As a specialty, repairs are carried out on ships worldwide by the shipyard's specialist staff. A fourth dock, in this case even a covered dock, has recently been available. A total of around 300 employees work at the shipyard, in addition to around 100 permanent employees, around 200 employees from external companies. BREDO has been a training company in the field of construction mechanics and industrial mechanics since October 2006.
