KLEIN ABER OHO Die Sieghold-Werft 1924–1988

In the organizer's words:

December 2024 marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the former Sieghold shipyard. To mark the occasion, the Historisches Museum Bremerhaven is staging a special exhibition based on the shipyard archive, which has been handed over to the museum as a "bequest" and is currently being inventoried.

Among the shipyards in Bremerhaven and its predecessor communities, the Sieghold shipyard (1924-1988) was one of the smaller companies. However, with the slogan "Never a day delay", the shipyard was internationally active and carried out spectacular orders, at the latest with its entry into the repair and new construction of oil rigs.

It was closed in 1988 against the backdrop of the Western European shipyard crisis. Around 30 years later, the gradual transfer of the shipyard archive to the Historical Museum began. Following the archives of the Tecklenborg shipyard (1845-1928) and the plans of the Rickmers shipyard (1836-1924, 1937-1986), this is the third archive from a Bremerhaven shipyard to be included in the museum collection. The exhibition gives an impression of how this archive collection has been catalogued to date.
