Clausen shipyard
The Clausen shipyard was a shipyard in Oberwinter that specialized primarily in ferries.
history
The Clausen shipyard was located at the port of Oberwinter. Wooden boats were once built there; from 1912, however, Clausen specialized in the construction of iron ships.
In the 1930s the site of the shipyard was threatened by plans for a new road layout. The Hindenburgufer, later called Oberwinterer Rheinallee, was closed to all traffic at the end of 1935, so that construction work on the new street could begin in early 1936. However, the workshop of the Clausen shipyard was located at the intersection of two construction phases. It had to be moved towards the Rhine. However, the mayor of Hüllen wrote to the owner of the site, the Rheinstrombauverwaltung Koblenz , in order to have the hall not rebuilt, which in his opinion spoiled the view from the new Rhine facilities and had a negative effect on the suitability of the place for tourism would affect. However, Hüllen was unable to prevail. The hall was rebuilt next to the street.
During the Second World War , the shipyard was largely destroyed; Reconstruction began in 1946. One focus in the post-war period was the construction of high-speed car ferries. In the post-war period, the designer Ferdinand Clausen designed car ferries that were as light as possible and weighed around 80 tons and were easy to maneuver.
Clausen ferries were used in Speyer , on the routes Bingen - Rüdesheim , Bad Honnef - Rolandseck and Bad Godesberg - Niederdollendorf . In addition to ferries, Clausen also built passenger ships.
In 1990 Maritim-Service Groten rented the former shipyard and renovated it. It was based on the site from 1991 until it moved to the site of the former Oberwinter GmbH shipyard in 2002.
