Neuhof, Hamburg

Neuhof area.- The Deutsche ErdOl A.G. ter­

minal is accessible by ocean tankers via the
Kohlbrand. This terminal was used for handling
bulk gasoline stocks and is sometimes referred
to as belonging to "01exn Deutsche Benzin- und
Petroleum Ges., as t'hat company marketed the
gasoline refined by the Deutsche Erdfll A.G.
interests. A layout plan appears on page 254.,

The lube oil refinery Olwerke Julius Schind­

ler, adjacent to the Deutsche ErdBl terminal and
the vegetable oil plant of Hansa Mohle on the
Neuhofer Canal normally received stocks by small­
er tankers or lighters. Both plants are shown on
the map on page 116.
The tankage at the Kohlenschiffhafen, which
has been included in this area, is believed to be
accessible to ocean vessels, though its ownership
and use is not definitely known. A layout sketch
of the tankage, drawn from air cover, appears on
this page.
Estimated tankage capacities for all plants
appear on page 245..

this report. Besides these two refineries, the large vegetable oil plant of Nobler

& Thorl, with extensive bulk tankage, is located at the Harburg docks. &>e Ugl III

There are numerous berths at the Harburg docks available to deep sea-tankers

drawing up to 29 feet at low water. Prewar pipe line connections fo? crude oil and

products at the berths are 4 inches, 6 inches, 10 inches and 12 inches.

Schulau

The terminal facilities at Schulau were located at the lubricating oil refinery

of the Deutsche Vacuum Oil A.G., in conjunction with which the Deutsche-Amerikan­
ische Petroleum-Gesellschaft operated a small gasoline plant. A layout plan appears

on page 101 in the Refining section. Tankers berth at the docks on the river front

but detailed data are lacking. Tankage is estimated at 50,700 M 3 (319,400 barrels).

Stade

The terminal facilities at Stade are located on the east bank of the Elbe,

about twenty miles below Hamburg. This plant belongs to MineralOlwerke Stade

Andresen Tafel & Co. K.G. and is shown by air cover to consist of the following

bridges over the canal are at high levels except one swinging bridge. Vessels up

to 1,033 feet long, 131 feet wide, 31 feet draft and masts not exceeding 131 feet

can pass through the canal. In normal times the canal has eleotrie marker and sig­
