The Hansa Bauprogamme

The Hansa Bauprogramme (Building Programme) was set forth in early 1940 to address several deficiencies in the German Merchant Navy (Handelsmarine), in particular the age of many the smaller general cargo vessels operated by the second and third-tier shipping firms. In announcing the Government’s decision to the Reichstag the Minister of Transport Gottfried Treviranus made the case that Germany’s competitive position in the world market depended on an efficient and modern merchant fleet, and that far too many units of the Merchant Navy were elderly – relics of the time of the Great War or even the time of the Kaiser. The smaller shipping companies – on whose shoulders rested the movement of the bulk of Germany’s raw material imports and exports – were particularly handicapped in this regard. To remedy this deficiency the Government provided assistance for the construction of an initial quantity of sixty-five vessels of three basic designs. (See table below)

While construction of vessels under the programme would be spread among many shipyards, three firms were designated as lead yards responsible for the detailed design and construction parameters, and the need for uniformity in construction was stressed. The Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft AG of Flensburg was assigned the responsibility to prepare the Typ A design; the “Neptun“ Schiffswerft und Maschinenfabrik AG of Rostock was assigned the Typ B design; and the Deutsche Schiff- und Maschinenbau AG of Bremen was assigned the Typ C design.

Other firms included in the Hansa Bauprogramme included:

H.C. Stülcken Sohn AG, Hamburg
Lubecker Flenderwerft AG, Lubeck
Nordseewerke AG, Emden
Stettiner Oderwerke GmbH, Stettin
Reiherstieg Schiffswerfte & Maschinenfabrik AG, Hamburg
Seebeckwerft AG, Bremerhaven
