The paddle steamer Stadt Wehlen was built in 1925 in the Laubegast shipyard. The ship was under the name of Field Marshal von Mackensen with the hull number 57 in 1916 to set keel . The ship was named after August von Mackensen . It entered service on May 30, 1925. It was the second ship to be named Stadt Wehlen .
The time after commissioning until 1945
As a result of the First World War , construction was stopped in 1916. After the merger of the SBDG and the Neue Deutsch-Böhmische Elbschifffahrts-AG (NDBG) , the NBDG took over the hull in 1923. The newly founded in 1923 Bohemian-Saxon Steamship, Aktiengesellschaft (SBDA) bought the until then in 1925 Loschwitzer harbor past the hull of the NBDG and expanded it. After commissioning as an upper deck steamer on May 27, 1925, the ship sailed for the Saxon-Bohemian Steamship Company (SBDA). The white painting of the ships, which was customary from 1926, earned it the name White Fleet . The ship had a steam steering engine and a wheelhouse. In terms of size, the ship is comparable to today's town of Wehlen . According to today's standards, the number of passengers is likely to be around 400.
In the winter of 1927/28 the ship was painted white.
In the summer of 1943 the city of Wehlen, like all steamers, was given a camouflage. From July 29th to August 4th 1943 the ship was used for evacuation measures after the bombing raids in Hamburg . Nothing is known about their further use in World War II .
The time after 1945
In 1946 it was incorporated into the newly founded Soviet State Oderschiffahrts-AG (SOAG) and on July 3, 1946, it was confiscated as a reparation payment and transferred to the Soviet Union . In the shipyard in Roßlau or the shipyard in Aken , the superstructures and wheel arches were removed in order to be able to pass the low bridges and narrow locks on the way to Stettin . After crossing the Baltic Sea , the ship was used as a transport ship in the Leningrad area. On September 30, 1947 it was taken over by the (ГП «Камское речное пароходство МРФ РСФСР») SE "Kama River Shipping Company - RSFSR" and renamed Кефаль on April 2, 1948 . It was used on the Kama . On October 26, 1962, it was decommissioned and scrapped in the (Пермский завод «Вторчермет») Perm plant "Vtorchermet".
