Deutsche Binnenreederei AG was established in 1989 as the successor
of VEB VEB Deutsche Binnenreederei, a DDR
shipping company. The flags of both are similar. Today the company has
two main branches in Berlin and in Hamburg (Rödingsmarkt 26). The
company became recently a member of Odratrans group.
The information was given by Mr. H.Tominski. For further information
see company website.

The flag like logo on their website is not very clear but to me it looks
like that on the website of Baltic Lloyd at http://www.balticlloyd.com
where the anchor cable is hanging the other way.

That is right, "Baltic" is a daughter from "Deutsche Binnen", which
had been a successor of an East German company "VEB Deutsche Binnen"(?).
We have both in
our pages. You can see, they have very similar flags. "Deutsche Binnen"
after 1990 was located in Rostock and Hamburg. Their building in Hamburg
has been torn
down last year. I don't know, whether the company still has a Hamburg
branch. Furthermore the company nowadays since at least two years belongs
to a Polish
group, I believe it's "Odratrans". (information given by "Deutsche
Binnen"). I already had had posted these infos to list.
I had been in their Hamburg office, the company doesn't answer any
private emails. So it might be the better idea, to take a look into http://www.marcollect.de/
(in German only).

Baltic Lloyd Schifffahrt-Spedition-Logistik GmbH
The company today is located in Rostock. It was established as a 100%
daughter of Deutsche Binnenreederei (DBR) on 7 August 1997, based on cooperation
with “Moskauer Binnenschiffahrt”. The purpose was inland/coastal shipping
in the Baltic countries, incl. Northwestern Russia, the river Rhine and
the North Sea and Baltic Sea. Due to troubles on Russian market the company
didn’t succeed and DBR looked forward to sell it.
On 1 March 2000 it was bought by Rostockian businessmen Rolf Kroeger
and Manfred Reining and advanced to a modern logistics company, due to
the motto: shipping, transport, logistics, freighting and storage, all
in one. The company acquired the logistics branch of Finno-Swedish paper
manufacturer “Stora-Enso” in the same year.
In April 2001 the logistics company “Horst Mosolf KG”, dealing exclusively
with cars, was acquired. Since then all transports across the Baltic Sea
are logistically accompanied by Baltic Lloyd.
In 2003 “BALTIC SEA TERMINAL” in Rostock was completed and the company
was able to run a complete harbour and logistic service.
Since 2006 there is a branch in the new built port of Lubmin. In Szczecin,
Kaliningrad, Hamburg the company is represented by agents.

I made my drawings not from Meyers Neues Lexikon directly, but
from my old notes taken about 10 years ago. I may have been wrong with
proportions, ratio, small details (for example, cord of anchor) etc.
Victor Lomantsov, 9 Feb 2001
Victor Lomantsov's image is from Meyers Neues Lexikon
which I consider somewhat more reliable than my fading memory. (...) If
we use today's Weisse Flotte Potsdam flag as a reference for both
the Deutsche Binnenreederei and the Weisse Flotte
flag, the ratio would be 1:4:1. I would say we go with Meyers Neues
Lexikon.

The following site (in German), dedicated to East German inland shipping, has the DOS represented: Founded in 1949, DOS or ‘Deutsche Oderschiffahrtsgesellschaft’ (i.e. German Oder Shipping Co. – named after the River Oder) operated barges identified by a white triangle, one point up, placed on a red background. Vessels’ bows showed this emblem but it also appeared on a pennant.
A growing tendency towards centralization led to the merger of DOS with
DSU or ‘Deutsche Schiffahrts- und Umschlagszentrale’ (i.e. German Shipping
and
Transhipment Central) in 1957 to form ‘Deutsche Binnenreederei’
(i.e. German Inland Shipping Co.).

Dampfer-Genossenschaft Deutscher Strom- und Binnenschiffer GmbH (Gesellschaft mit beschraenkter Haftung). That is: Steamer Company of German River and Inland Shipping Ltd.
This company was a Co-operative Society of private skippers, founded in 1889 in the city of Fürstenberg (Oder), at present the city of Eisenhüttenstadt. The skippers sailed on the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Kanal (at present Oder-Spree-Kanal). They transported cargo from the river Oder to the German capital Berlin. In 1956 the co-op was nationalised and became the Firma VEB Binnenschiffahrt;
in the German Democratic Republic it was a state-firm.
