goods and to friendly
ith the present picture-tome, dedicated to the extensive production of
the socialistic ship-yards of the German Democratic Republic as well as to the
steadily increasing export of these products, we like to call the reader's atten-
tion to the fact, that it was possible to erect a shipbuilding industry within a
few years, performing an essentially contribution to the mutual exchange of
connexion between all people of the world. Owing to the initiative of our workers as
well as to the assistance of "friendly countries we were able to attain our successes.

The experiences and the known work of high quality in our shipbuilding
industry gave supposition for the foreign trade to meet the high claims in
export of ships.
This picture-tome will be a guide for all interested persons in Germany and
in foreign countries for our shipbuilding production-programme. Further it will
give them an insight into the capacity of our industry.
Also it will bear witness of the quality in manufacturing of different types of
vessels.
We have to thank our shipbuilders, building ships in our yards with diligence
and ardour, so that these vessel ? satisfy all claims in relation to reliability in
operation, economy, and convenience in consequence of their well-weighed
construction and production.

/ n the terrain of a former airplane-building work, destroyed in the second Great War, and round about a small boatbuilding yard in a period of six years at the
estuary of the river Warnow the largest sea-yard of the German Democratic Republik, the Warnowwerft Warnemiinde arised.

In course of years of development at this building plot with an enormous labour-enthusiasm were
moved masses of soil and worked up bricks. Upon the great plains at the bank of de Warnow, the
"Breitling", every year new halls and workshops nearly grew out of the soil.
In 1953 a modern, seven-storied shipbuilding hall with a base of 20,000 square meters was erected.
Here above all the mounting of sections is carried out.
Whilst the ship- and engine-builders at the old quay worked at several repair-objects, and made
modern passenger vessels up to 23,000 G. R. T. by means of conversion of big ship wrecks, raised
before the coast, building brigades began to erect a cableway crane plant of 65 m height and 320 m
length with four slipways cif 220 m length) which now is a new sign upon the formerly plain land
at the shore of the Baltic Sea.
Since the existing basin for equipment by no means gave satisfaction to the present demands,
moreover a 450 m long equipment quay was built, where to-day also the 10,000 tons motor-cargo-
vessels are equipped, of which the demonstrated photos reproduce a small view.
By long sighted planned economy, by the steadily proceeding mechanizing and modernizing
together with the progressive apprehension of the advanced work-technology and well-weighed
organization of labour arised a yard, which, is building vessels, having found appreciation and com-
mendation on the international market. After removal and conversion of raised wrecks the yard
began its export-programme with the building of series of 15 inland passenger vessels, which are
very popular on the rivers of the Soviet Union. At the same time had been executed an order about
11 floating crane-pontoons and final mounting of these floating cranes.
Whilst the last inland passenger vessels had been executed, already ensued laying keel of the first
motor cargo vessel with 10,000 tons deadweight. Launching of the first ship of these series on the
14th January 1956 was a stately event for all yard labourers of the Warnowwerft. Up to 1961
delivery of 15 vessels of this type is provided. Most of these vessels are trading for the shipping-
society of the German Democratic Republic.
Besides there are built series of 9 coal-ore carriers with 7,000 tons deadweight, which contributed
as important export engagement to fasten the successful exchange of goods with the trade partners
of the German Democratic Republic.
Further ship constructions with similar respectively more tonnage are in projection.

Schiffswerft "Neptun" Rostock

' ide above the borders of Germany the Schiffswerft "Neptun" is well-known.
The yard had been erected in the old Hanse town Rostock in 1850 as a yard
for iron ships. In the same year the yard began with the construction of the
first German screw steamer.
In 1890 yard was named "Neptun". Since this time there had been built many
iron ships, carrying the name "Rostock" and "Neptun" all over the world, and
bearing witness of the high quality of the shipbuilding in Rostock.
This tradition has preserved up to this day. The shipbuilding-programme of this
yard comprehends different ,types of vessels, having won value and apprecia-
tion in the whole world.
As sole sea-yard of the German Democratic Republic, existing before the war,
it disposes of an approved stock of skilled workers. This stock jtogether with an
able, approved, and well schooled rising generation accomplishes every year per-
formances, worthy of appreciation, in export of ships.

After incipient repairing vessels, yard began in 1948 with the new-
building of ships. The first larger serial manufacture was the building
of 179 fishing drifters. In 1952 production had been concentrated on
a dry-cargo-type with 3,260 G. R. T., steam driven with coal-burning.
From these series they developed shelterdeckers of 2,600 G. R. T. with
oil-firing, and in present there are built series of motor-cargo vessels
with 3,360 G. R. T., in each respect according to modernest technique.

Besides the dry-cargo-vessel-programme the
yard had under construction a further export-
order, the serial manufacture of lifting ves-
sels with 75 tons lifting capacity.
With this the shipbuilding-programme is far
from limited. Also harbour-and yard-tugs,fire
floats, ferries, fishing-trawlers, and a great
number of other bigger and smaller special
vessels leaved the yard in the last years.

After 1945 this yard developed to a newbuilding yard, and repairs only close-by were brought off. In a relative short time this yard has been developed from
smallest beginning to the present state, and this process of development probably not yet will have been closed for a long time.
The Schiffswerft "Edgar Andr?Magdeburg, as it is called now, follows the demand of our foreign trade to speed up the building of further trade vessels,
which on the strength of enlargement of the export will contribute to exchange all goods between the countries.
Further the yard follows the demand to build passenger vessels in order to give all working people the possibility to pass their deserved holidays on the
rivers and lakes of their native place.
The building-programme of this yard consists of sea-going tugs, motor cargo vessels, inland- and coasting passenger vessels, harbour tugs and inland tankers.

n May 1946 the socialistic yard "Rof3lauer Schiffswerft" on one part of the old yard-terrain of the former "Sachsenberg A. G." was founded. To that time
there were engaged about 90 workers. A powerful rise of this yard went on in the following time. The number of workers raised rapidly in the next years,
and to-day more than 2,000 people are working in the yard.
As in all our yards also in Rof3lau new workshops had been erected, new machines had been bought, accomodated to the modernest methods of manufacturing.
The extensive newbuildings and the improvement of the technical equipment as well as the new-organization of production made it possible to introduce new
methods of shipbuilding, as there are the sectional construction of building and the application of the welding practise by the building of the hulls.
The many architectural enlargements changed the yard every year, so that the Rof3lauer Schiffswerft can be considered as the productivest and largest inland-
yard in the whole Germany.
Since 1946 the yard built following 'vessels: fishing seiners, fishing-refrigerating- and tankloggers, fishing cutters, sea-going tugs, different types of cargo
motor vessels and tank motor vessels, and other special vessels.

In building dredgers the yard disposed of a long tradition,
and is strived to represent this tradition of good quality
and reliable work in the whole world. This is an important
concern for all yard labourers. They are always strived
hard for enlargement of the capacity, and to accommodate
their production to the claims of inland and foreign custo-
mers, in order also to increase the export of ships.

01 n the midst of the town Brandenburg/Havel the Ernst-Thalmann-Werft is situated, the yard on
the territory of the German Democratic Republic, which first began with the building of new ships
after the war.
A socialistic yard arised in course of time from an ancient private yard. The yard was given the
honourable name "Ernst Thalmann". In the following years new workshops were erected, and
the yard labourers raised treble in comparison with 1938. The production raised up to 41/2 times
in a period of 10 years. In course of time the change from the old rivet-construction to the
modern production followed, to build ships in sections in all-welded execution.
In 1948 the yard was able to finish the first 3 deep-sea fishing vessels of the type Seiner. In 1958
the 200th ship of this type had been delivered. In these years the yard also had built fishing
cutters, inland- and sea-going tugs, ice-breakers, supply-ships, tank-vessels, and survey-vessels.
Further the building-programme comprehends technical vessels as there are bucket-chain dredgers,
reclamation vessels, combined suction- and reclamation dredgers, and push boats. This demon-
strates that the yard disposes of many-sided experiences.

According to an export-order the yard began in 1959 with the building of 5 fishing
cutters for an Islandic customer. In 1960 the yard received an order about further
10 cutters of this type.
The yard has projected other fishing vessels, especially for the Scandinavian
market. The Ernst-Thalmann-Werft has the task to deliver these vessels to Iceland,
Denmark and Sweden in the next years, in order to increase our export into the
capitalistic foreign countries.

e Schiffswerft Oderberg was founded in 1927, and often changed
its swners in consequence of economical difficulties until yard became
a s cialistic factory.
In t e year of establishment 30 workers were occupied with repairs
? arges and newbuildings of wood up to 30 m length. Eleven years
later the yard had been used for repairing of transport vessels, and
especially for repairing of petrol tankers, serving for war purposes.

At the end of the second Great War the yard had been
destroyed nearly completely. A group of courageous men
began in 1946 to put in order the yard. A short time later
already assembled 100 and more yard labourers about this
group. They began to work and built ? mostly in want of
materials ? the present shipbuilding hall and further work-
shops and equipped them with modern mechanizing.
In the beginning they only repaired ships, and 1953 they
made the first newbuildings. Now 380 labourers endeavour
to increase the capacity of the yard essentially by means of a
new organization of production and a further mechanizing.
The small repairing yard from 1927 now is a productive
yard for the building of modern and expedient inland
vessels. The production-programme comprehends to-day
motor cargo vessels of 700 and 250 tons. In the last years
the yard further built steel-cutters with 18 m length, recla-
mation vessels with 170 and 250 ma, dumb barges with
250 tons with Z-propulsion, and different special vessels.
All these vessels have found satisfied purchasers.

By a twelve-years old economical development the yard labourers have known that it is possible to carry out an industrial duplicate production of various
types of vessel in conformity with the progressive modern organization of labour and long-sighted planned economy. Therefore they extended the production-

On fairs and exhibitions, participating the German Democra-
tic Republic the foreign ex- and importers become acquainted
with the economy of our Republic, the possibilities of export,
and the demands for foreign goods of each kind.
To each time fairs and exhibitions were superior organized
meetings of all merchants.
Supposition for a vivacious trade is that the partners are able
to have an idea of the goods, offered and desired by the others.
Further it is necessary to inform mutually about the different
proceedings of foreign trade and the regulations, at times
in force.
In connexion with the fairs and exhibitions it is possible for
the partners, interested in concluding of business, to negotiate in detail
with represen-
tatives of industry and foreign trade of the German Democratic Republic. It is matter
of fact that fairs and exhibitions considerably advance the international trade and
contribute to support for peaceful connexions between all nations of the world.

Apart from the ship-yards described in this publication there are in our German Democratic Republic many other medium and
small national ship-yards chiefly engaged in the construction and repair of our river fleet. These yards cannot be described within
the narrow limits of this publication.
This development is rapidly continued during the present Seven-years plan in the German Democratic Republic and remains adapted
to the latest technical and scientific knowledges.
Ships of our young merchant fleet are now navigating all oceans, bearing witness to the high quality of the products of our ship-
yards and to the peaceful development of our country.
