Stettiner OderwerkeOn January 28, 1903, the Stettiner Oderwerke Aktiengesellschaft für Schiff- und Maschinenbau was founded as the successor of the Oderwerke Maschinenfabrik und Schiffsbauwerft AG . The company built smaller river boats and excursion steamers for use on the Elbe and Oder, ships for the seaside resort service to East Prussia , tugs and sea dredgers. During the Second World War produced the Oderwerke two U-boats of the type VII C ; U 821 and U 822 .
