The first U-boat launched by AG Weser in Bremen was the U-25 on 14 Feb 1936, but the last U-boat launched was the U-3044 on 1 Mar 1945. This refers to U-boats that were actually commissioned into the Kriegsmarine.
The last actual launch was U-3051 on 20 Apr 1945. That boat was not commissioned however.

U-boat ordered but not laid down by this yard
Type | Boats | Werk | Ordered | Notes | |
IXC/40 | U-893 - U-899 | 7 boats | 1101- 1107 | 1943 | |
IXC/40 | U-1501 - U-1542 | 42 boats | 1115- 1156 | 1943 | |
IXD/42 | U-885 - U-888 | 4 boats | 1093- 1096 | 1942 | These boats (U-885 - U-888) had not been laid down. |
IXD/42 | U-900 | 1108 | 1943 | Keel had not been laid down when cancelled. | |
XIB | U-112 - U-115 | 4 boats | 977- 980 | 1939 | These 4 large U-cruisers were probably not laid down but one of them, U-112, possibly went a bit further than the rest. Information on those is very limited. Cancelled in May 1940.
Some claim the U-112 was not only completed but sailed on a mysterious journey against the US in 1945 where she was sunk with all hands. A project known as CA-35 was founded to proof a group of divers had found the wreck but no evidence has been found to confirm the story and no evidence has either been found she was ever completed. |
XXI | U-3064 - U-3100 | 37 boats | 1223- 1259 | 1943 | Keel not laid, prefabricated sections partially completed. |
