The
Schichau-Werke (
F. Schichau, Maschinen- und Lokomotivfabrik, Schiffswerft und Eisengießerei GmbH) was a German engineering works and shipyard based in
Elbing, Germany (now Elbląg, Poland) on the Frisches Haff (
Vistula Lagoon) of then-
East Prussia. It also had a subsidiary shipyard in nearby
Danzig (now:
Gdańsk, Poland). Due to the Soviet conquest of eastern Germany, Schichau moved to
Bremerhaven in March 1945, and its successors continued in business until 2009.
