The shipyard Schmidt GmbH was a shipyard in Oberkassel and later in Upper Winter , a district of Remagen in Rhineland-Palatinate district of Ahrweiler .
history
The shipyard was founded in 1927 by Wilhelm Schmidt in Oberkassel, where it was located until 1977. Wilhelm Schmidt had moved from Boitzenburg on the Elbe to the Rhine ; at that time he already had experience in inland and seagoing shipbuilding. In 1971 Georg Schmidt took over the business as managing director.
In 1977 the shipyard moved to the site of the former Oberwinter shipyard at the southern entrance to Rolandseck , after having sold its previous site to the city of Bonn . At that time it had a workforce of 18, later the number increased to 40.
Most of the passenger ships in the Schmidt shipyard were built for the Rhine and its tributaries after the end of World War II ; But she also received orders from abroad. For example, Schmidt has built six passenger ships for Nigeria since 1975 . The Rursee shipping company Schwammenauel owned just like the passenger shipping company Siebengebirge exclusively ships that were built by Schmidt. In addition to passenger ships, orders for ferries and barges were also carried out at the shipyard. In the vicinity of the shipyard, the Siebengebirge ferry (damaged in 2017) and the Konrad Adenauer ferry of the Rhine ferry Bad Godesberg – Niederdollendorf have operated until recently . The excursion boat Moby Dick , which was launched in 1976 at the Schmidt shipyard , also operates between Bonn and Linz on the Rhine .
At the end of the 1990s, the Schmidt family first had to close the shipyard and then sell it, as the sales crisis in shipbuilding had also reached the Schmidt shipyard. The shipyard was no longer profitable enough and too small to keep up with the competition at the time.
successor
The Middle Rhine shipyard center is located on the site of the former Schmidt shipyard in Oberwinter . There new buildings for inland shipping are being built and planned. Buildings of the Schmidt shipyard are also serviced, overhauled or repaired in Oberwinter. The managing director is Rainer Ritzdorf, who also worked as a ship builder at the Schmidt shipyard. The shipyard is owned by RITZDORF Schiffs- u. Industrietechnik GmbH operated.
