Editing AG Weser (section)

=== Deschimag Period ===
After the First World War, A.G. "Weser" continued very soon in shipbuilding. In 1926, when shipbuilding became extremely difficult, A.G. "Weser" merged with seven other German shipyards to form [[Deutsche Schiff- und Maschinenbau AG]] (Deschimag), wherein the now named Deschimag A.G. "Weser" took the leading position. Most of the shipyards joining Deschimag closed down, were sold or went bankrupt in the following years. Only A.G. "Weser" and [[Seebeckwerft]] in Bremerhaven, which was taken over in 1928, survived.

In 1928-1929, the passenger-liner [[SS Bremen (1928)|Bremen]] was put into service, built for the shipping company [[Norddeutscher Lloyd]]. It was the most famous liner ever built by A.G. "Weser" and one of the most famous German civilian ships. After delivery of the ''Bremen'' more than 5,000 of altogether about 12,000 coworkers of the shipyard were set free because of lack of new orders. After the last ship was delivered 1931, for about three years no ship-newbuilding followed, only some repair of ships and construction of engines and marine equipment was done. The first new launched ship was in 1933 the carrier ''Cairo'' for the company ''Norddeutscher Lloyd''. Shortly after that the situation improved with several new orders received, including an increasing amount of warships.
