History

Seebeckwerft was founded in 1876 and developed from a small, metal-processing company in the heart of Bremerhaven into one of the leading shipbuilding companies in the region.

During World War II Seebeckwerft built 16 Type IX U-boats for the Kriegsmarine.

After the war, Seebeckwerft was bought by DeSchiMAG in 1949 but when DeSchiMAG was declared bankrupt in 1983, Seebeckwerft was spun off. In 1988 the company merged with Schichau Unterweser to become Schichau Seebeckwerft.
