Danubius-Schoenichen-Hartmann United Ship, Machine and Boiler Works Ltd
The Ganz-Danubius shipyard, created by a merger in 1911, was one of the top companies in industrial production at the end of the dualism. The joint-stock company focused primarily on shipbuilding at this time, but was also active in a number of other industries. In terms of both predecessors and successors, the company is the result of an extremely exciting and complex organisational development.
The first predecessor in shipbuilding is Danubius Hungarian Ship- and Engineering Works Rt., which operated from 1890 to 1895, when it merged with the United Ship, Machine and Boiler Works Rt. of Schoenichen-Hartmann-with. The so established Danubius-Schoenichen-Hartmann United Ship, Machine and Boiler Works Ltd operated from 1895 to 1911.
The Danubius-Schoenichen-Hartmann United Ship, Machine and Boiler Works Rt. 1895-1911
At the time, the merged Danubius employed 1,000 skilled workers with a total of 200 horsepower, and its products were bought by Germany, Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia and Hungary. In 1895, Albert Berzeviczy became president of the company, Lajos Tolnay vice-president and Henrik Baumgarten general manager.
The company continued to build ships, and in 1896 it built the Imre and in 1897 the Margit steam boiler for the Hungarian River and Shipping Company. Also in 1897, the Helén for József Berczel of Verőce; in 1898 the Pannonhalma for the MFTR, the Iron Gates for the Hungarian Royal Authority of the Lower Danube. Also in 1898, the Chernavoda, the Radu Negru and the Turnu Magurele for the Romanian Navigation Fluviale Roumaine. Mermaid for the Royal Hungarian Shipping Inspectorate in Budapest and the Knaz Boris later Bulgarian dredger from Varna. 1900 the Uzu Kale, the Gipanis, the Adjader, the Istrian and the Kara Kermen Russian mud sucker and dredger; the Veszprém and the Zala, which became the tugboats of Balaton Halászati Rt. A Satu Mare was also built in 1900 for the Hungarian Royal River Engineering Office in Sátoraljaújhely, and Wien was built for the Redlich brothers. In 1901, Danubius launched the Danubius for the Bratislava entrepreneur Henrik Hörnes Bratislava passenger ship; at the same time the company's slipway was rebuilt Bagomér, made for an unknown owner of the Pannonia a swimming diver, a István Türr to the Ferencz-Csatorna Steamship Company, for the city of Mariupol, for the city of Mikhail Lisovsky. In 1902 the Turcich of Esek was built for Hrvatska, the Fortuna for the Redlich brothers and the Ihsan and the Neveser built in 1903 for the Ministeri de la Marine Ottoman. Fedor Solodoff. 1904 is the SMS Timis and the SMS Bodrog, which were commissioned by the Austro-Hungarian Imperial and Royal Danube Flotilla, and the P. Burgas, commissioned by Bulgaria. Újpest floating crane for the Danube Flotilla, the Patrol boat "B, the Russians on the Pruth, the I. Öst. Donausend Baggerung G, Wien for Boris Hausmann. In 1907 for the MFTR the Boiler and an unknown customer for the Zwy. In 1908, the Romanian State Fishing Company for the Razelm. in 1909, the MFTR built the I. József Ferencz, also from 1909 in the Komárom elevator, the Balatontavi Steamship Ltd. Kisfaludyand the Danube Flotilla Patrol boat "G and Patrol boat "H ships. Finally, in 1911, the Vasiliy Mílos & Oganenov Vasar was built on the Bega Canal for the company Vasiliy Mílos & Oganenov Vasar. Bega. Alternatively, the merged Danubius Rt. once produced the Giant an elevator.
At the same time, the merged Danubius Rt. operated a shipyard not only in Budapest, but also in Fiume, the latter from 1905. On 12 September 1905, the company leased the Fiume-Bergudia formerly bankrupt shipbuilding yard in.
At that time, the only ship repair shop in Rijeka was run by József Lazarus, a Galician-born ship repairer, which was established in 1900 at the foot of the Maria Theresa breakwater and during its existence was mainly engaged in repairing the British Cunard Line Steamship Company's emigrant ships. Lazarus later also started a shipbuilding business in Portore (now Kraljevica) and submitted a request to the Navy to build new torpedo boats. However, ten days after the signing of the contract between the Hungarian state and Danubius Rt. (22-23 September 1905), Lazarus's plant in Fiume burned to the ground and he was forced to sell his plant in Portoré to Danubius. He rebuilt the ship-repair plant and in 1910, with 100 employees, set up a new business producing motorboats, which had been virtually unknown until then. In the hierarchy of Danubius Rt., Portoré was later subordinated to Fiume.
The Danubius factory in Fiume was thus established, mainly to build warships, and received several state orders for this. In 1907 it built the SMS Tritonthe first Hungarian-built naval warship. This was followed in the same year by the SMS Silen and the SMS Satyr. SS Ambulance rescue boat and the SS Tractor a tugboat for the Maritime Authority and additional warships for the Royal and Royal Navy. Navy: SMS Pandur, MT50, SMS Scorpio, SMS Turul, MT51, SMS Hydra. in 1909 he built a floating dock (P240) and other warships: SMS Polyp, SMS Alk, SMS pig, MT58, MT59, SMS Réka, SMS Dinara, SMS Kraken, SMS Kormoran, MT60, MT61, SMS Tickler, MT62, SMS Velebit, SMS Phoenix. also produced for the navy in 1910: SMS Hercules, SMTB 07, SMTB 08, SMTB 09, SMTB 10, SMS Lizard, SMTB 11, SMTB 12.
The fact that the capital was increased to 3 000 000 forints in 1895 is proof of the success of the operation. The company's profits subsequently developed as follows:
- 1895: 143 347 Frt,
- 1896: 260 840 Frt,
- 1897: 178 069 Frt,
- 1898: 24 006 Frt,
- 1899: 142 642 Frt.
In 1900 the company switched to the Crown, with a profit of K 40 450; in 1901 they reduced their capital to K 4 500 000, with a profit of K 17 468 and a loss of K 82 764 in 1902. After that, however, the profit was again on the increase, which was
- In 1903 236 678 K,
- In 1904 366 419 K,
- In 1905 287 182 K,
- In 1906 340 162 K,
- In 1907 388 546 K,
- In 1908 615 717 K,
- In 1909 765 801 K,
- and in 1910 it was 716 784 K.
From 1909 the company tried to gain the support of the Ministry of Trade and the Ministry of War in order to receive state orders not only for medium but also for large commercial and military shipbuilding, but this was only realised after the merger of Danubius Rt. with Ganz & Co. The merger was initiated at the request of Ganz, and at the end of the negotiations Danubius was fully integrated into Ganz in order to ensure that their shipbuilding plants in Budapest and Fiume could win the largest state orders.
In the merger, Danubius was merged with its entire share capital of K4 500 000, including all its claims and liabilities, into the new company, which was renamed Ganz & Co - Danubius Machine, Waggon and Shipyard Ltd., with a share capital of K8 640 000.
A Ganz and Company Iron Foundry and Machine Works Ltd. It was established in 1869 under the leadership of András Mechwart, as the heirs did not wish to continue the management of the founding company after the death of Abraham Ganz in 1867. At the time of the merger in 1911, Ganz was already a well-known and respected brand name, as was Danubius.
The common Ganz and Co. - Danubius - machinery, wagons and shipbuilding ltd survived the First World War, and in 1927 it absorbed the Schlick-Nicholson machinery, wagons and shipyard Rt-t, a Dr. Lipták and Partners Construction and Iron Industry Ltd-and the Machine and railway equipment factory Rt-t. And in 1929 the Ganz Electricity Ltd. and the First Hungarian sewing machine and bicycle factory Rt. was also merged into the company, which thus took over the Ganz & Comp. electric machine, railway, carriage-manufacturing & ship-building Co. Ltd. laughs. After the Second World War, the company was nationalised at the Council of Ministers meeting of 22 November 1946, and in 1948 it was broken up into smaller state-owned companies.
