Volkswerft

From 1948 till 1953 the shipyard produced 196 ships, all of them to be used for reparation payments to the Soviet Union.

In October 1957, the first ship built for a fleet not pertaining to the Eastern Bloc was delivered to Iceland.

In 1973, Lloyd's of London saw the Volkswerft as number one in the production of trawlers worldwide.

In 2016, the yard was purchased by Genting Hong Kong and folded into the newly formed MV Werften group with two other German shipbuilders.

Since then, different companies are based at the former shipyard facilities, now owned by the City of Stralsund.
