Hatra Baumaschinen und Schiffe
NEW
From a small locksmith shop emerged, starting in 1919, a successful shipbuilding company and a large construction equipment factory: Hatra!
After World War II, Hans Hagelstein led his company to the forefront of the German construction machinery industry. The legendary Kemna road rollers, award-winning construction machines, and state-of-the-art hydraulic excavators defined construction sites worldwide for nearly 30 years.
For over a decade, shipbuilding also dominated in Travemünde, producing numerous new vessels for the world's oceans. In addition to sea vessels, Hatra sport boats were part of the incredibly diverse production program of the once most lucrative company in Schleswig-Holstein, employing over 1,000 people.
Beyond a comprehensive historical overview of the company, the book meticulously describes the ships and all Hatra construction machinery in technical detail. It also sheds light on various historical contexts and extraordinary events throughout the company's history.
