(Horn Linie OHG)
The Partenreederei* shipping company Horn was created by
Heinrich Christian Horn. He had created a match factory in 1864
and in 1869 began to also trade in coals and coke.
In 1879 he then
bought
the Schleischiffahrt which carried passengers and
goods on the river Schlei.
The establishment of the shipping company took place in
1882 in Schleswig and started with one ship the Stadt Schleswig. Only
in 1888 after several difficult first years was there demand for a further
ship.
In 1905 there were 21 ships operating for the partenreederei.
In 1901-1902 Horn started the
parallel Dampfschiffs Rhederei Horn AG in Lübeck.
Both shipping companies aimed at an important role in the Baltic Sea.
After the First World War the majority of the fleet had
to be delivered to the Allies as war reparations, Horn moved the partenreederei
shipping company from Schleswig to Flensburg and had already given up
the Schleischiffahrt.
Meanwhile the Lübecker tried to take over other shipping
companies and attained the stock majority in the Flensburger Dampfercompagnie
of 1869. The attempt to dissolve the Flensburger shipping company failed,
but the Lübecker exchanged its 3550 shares for 3 new steamers.
In 1926 Norddeutscher Lloyd bought
the stock majority on the Lübecker
and the fleet was taken over.
The Flensburger bought back one ship in 1920, the Irmgard
Horn and sent it to the Caribbean.
This was successful and developed into a liner service between the continent
and the Caribbean. In 1931 Horn with the HAPAG started a pool agreement
and in 1933 the office was changed to Hamburg.
The Second World War and its consequences meant the end for the shipping
company. In the middle of the fifties a new start was tried, but in 1969
the shipping company went into bankruptcy.
Today's Horn line was created in 1949 by Erich Mueller Stinnes, a former
partner of the company. Compagnie
Generale Transatlantique later took
over a considerable portion of stock of the Horn Line. Due to co-operation
of many years in fruit transport with the American Del Monte group, at
the beginning of the 1990's the Del Monte group also acquired a part
of the Horn Line. The enterprise worked at first as a general contractor
of the French Compagnie Generale Transatlantique in Germany.
In 1962
the Horn Line was sold in equal parts to the CGT and Hapag. Today the
Horn Line, as a daughter American Del Monte group, is active in freight
shipping between Europe and the Caribbean and also offers passenger
journeys on its cargo ships.
*Partenreederei means based on shares with several families holding
shares in a ship. (partnership)
