Teltow-Werft, Shipyard and architectural heritage site in Zehlendorf, Germany.
The Teltow-Werft is a former shipyard and architectural monument located along the Teltow Canal in Berlin-Zehlendorf. The site contains multiple industrial buildings, maintenance facilities, and preserved structures that reflect its past as a working maritime facility.
A construction port established in 1906 was transformed into a shipyard in 1924 for maintaining electric towing locomotives. The facility later served as a crucial maintenance hub for vessels operating along the canal.
The preserved power station building displays early 20th-century construction methods with its original structural elements still visible. Visitors can observe the craftsmanship of that era in the building's facade and framework details.
The site has restricted access because it is a protected monument undergoing redevelopment. Visitors should check in advance whether guided tours or viewings are available, as it is not openly accessible to the public.
In 1927, a groundbreaking ship was constructed here as Germany's first fully welded passenger vessel. The ship could carry over 700 passengers and represented a major leap in shipbuilding technique for the time.
