A lecture on the history of the Rostock Neptune Shipyard after the Second World War Dr. Wolfgang Lange.
Speaker: Dr. Wolfgang Lange
The history of Rostock's Neptunwerft shipyard after the Second World War is the focus of Dr. Wolfgang Lange's presentation, which is aimed at those interested in history, former shipyard employees and anyone who is interested in Rostock's maritime and industrial history.
The development of the traditional shipyard on the Warnow is an important chapter in the industrial and city history of Rostock. The lecture sheds light on the period from the new beginning after the end of the war in 1945, when the Neptun shipyard was reorganized, to the closure of the shipyard site in 1990.
Dr. Wolfgang Lange spans a vivid historical arc over more than four decades of shipyard history. During this phase, new types of ship were built, such as cable carriers, lifting vessels, fireboats, railroad ferries, cargo ships and coasters, accompanied by technical innovations that had a significant impact on shipbuilding. The lecture introduces key figures in the history of the shipyard.
The lecture ends with the closure of the shipyard site, a turning point that permanently changed the cityscape and maritime identity of Rostock.

Admission can be paid before the event at the ticket office on the traditional ship.
