== Background == The shipyard was founded on 20 June 1948 by the Soviet military administration. Initially, cutters and coasters were built as reparations for the Soviet Union. In 1951 the construction of naval ships began. Until the fall of the Berlin Wall, mainly light torpedo speedboats (LTS boats) and minesweepers in short and long form (the state yacht Ostseeland is based on this model), landing ships and submarine hunters for the People's Navy and for the Soviet Union were built. In principle, almost the entire fleet of the Volksmarine came from the Peene shipyard. In the late 1970s, a number of sea bucket chain dredgers were keeled for the USSR. In addition, in the 1980s, small cabin boats with internal combustion engines were produced as part of the “consumer goods production” prescribed by the party. The shipyard was a state-owned enterprise in the shipbuilding combine of the GDR. The number of employees in 1989 was around 2,900.
