Bernhard Schulte left the Emden business on 1 October 1955 to found his own company. Newbuildings in 1957–1962 were partly financed in partnerships, whose interests were gradually bought back. Dr. Heinnrich Schulte joined in 1963 and Thomas in 1967, becoming a partner in 1968. Bernhard died in 1975. Lloyds’s earlier formation dates of 1937 and then 1883 are distinguished from this 1955 foundation; Rosanoski considers 1883 to refer to the original Schulte & Bruns.
