Flender Werke was a German shipbuilding company, located in Lübeck.[1] It was founded in 1917 as a branch of Brückenbau Flender AG of Benrath on the Rhine. In 1926, it became a fully independent business and was renamed Lübecker Flenderwerke AG. It went on to become one of the largest shipyards in Germany, building nearly 700 ships in all.[2]

History

During World War II, Flender Werke built 2 Type II and 40 Type VII U-boats for the Kriegsmarine.[3]

After the war, Flender Werke continued to build merchant ships, and in 1973 it was renamed Flender Werft AG. In 2002, it was forced to close because of insolvency.
