Flender Werke was a German shipbuilding company, located in Lübeck.[1] It was founded in 1917 as a branch of Brückenbau Flender AG of Benrath on the Rhine. In 1926 it was made a fully independent business and renamed Lübecker Flenderwerke AG. It went on to become one of the largest shipyards in Germany, building nearly 700 ships in all.[2]
After the war, Flender Werke continued to build merchant ships, and in 1973 were renamed Flender Werft AG. In 2002, they were forced to close because of insolvency.
