Hello everyone, I'm trying to help. When I took the photos of the ship I could see that part of the hull was welded and part was riveted. so I think that the object consists of several ships.

In my opinion this is not the ROLAND VON BREMEN. Bow, bridge, bridge-wings, etc do not match, RvB was 15.72 m width, this vessel is clearly smaller. On the suggestion under an other photo that she was a former "Seebäder", I can not find any resembling vessel in my large collection of German postcards. What that she was a coaster / small cargo vessel and arranged in such a way that was suitable for the new owner, including the logo?

I think that this is such a small section of the bow that it is credible as ROLAND OF BREMEN. If you look at the photo as INDIAN REEFER, it is clear that we are only seeing the very tip of the bow, down to what could well be the same anchors, and back to the beginning of the ship name. At that point the foc's'l will be nowhere near 15m breadth.

Not the right funnel shape either, I think - see https://www.shipspotting.com/photos/3616970

What other ships were broken up up by Hansa Rohstoff (or someone else) at Bremen in around 1985?

According to the following link, this is the bow and bridge of the ROLAND VON BREMEN (ex-RIO GALLEGOS, INDIAN REEFER) of 1939. The bow tip is certainly consistent, but I'm not quite so sure that the bridge is a match to that vessel.

Here's a view of ROLAND VON BREMEN's bridge from the same angle, so you can see why I'm not convinced of the heritage of that portion:

As for the tip of the bow, the arrangement of logo, bits and hawsepipes are all certainly a match to the claimed vessel:
