Barki - Niemcy: książki - historia i statki

Frachtschiffe - Binnenschifffahrt auf europäischen Wasserstrassen (Typenkompass)

Europejskie drogi wodne są wykorzystywane przez tysiące statków towarowych i tankowców, których wielkość ujawnia się dopiero przy cumowaniu.

Duże ilości towarów można przewozić przy niskim zużyciu energii i małym personelu - znacznie więcej niż koleją lub ciężarówką przy tej samej mocy silnika. Nowoczesne napędy statków emitują coraz mniej zanieczyszczeń, a testowane są nowe paliwa, takie jak gaz ziemny.

W tym kompasie typów Ingo Steller, ekspert w żegludze śródlądowej, przedstawia przegląd różnych typów statków towarowych pływających po Renie, Dunaju, Łabie i Odrze.

Dampfschiffe auf dem Rhein

Steamship travel on the (German) Rhine is history. The fire under the boiler of the last passenger steamer of the "Köln-Düsseldorfer", the "Goethe", which was delivered in 1913 and rebuilt several times, went out in 2008; the other KDD steamers had already disappeared a quarter of a century ago.
The last steam tug on the Rhine, the "Oscar Huber", was taken out of towing service over 40 years ago and is now the only "paddle steamer" open to the public in Duisburg-Ruhrort.
Little remains of the former glory of steamship travel on the Rhine. In September 1939, the "Köln-Düsseldorfer" still had 22 steamers, and steamship travel in freight transport also reached its peak before the Second World War. In 1935, there were over 1 800 steamships registered on the Rhine, including 115 "wheel boats", i.e. the powerful paddle steamer tugs, around 80 m long and with up to 1 900 hp, which brought up to nine barges to their destinations.

After the Second World War, steamships experienced a brief boom, but then the picture changed dramatically. Freight traffic was transferred to pushboats or self-propelled vessels, and steamships were decommissioned and scrapped one by one in passenger service.

You can read more about this topic in this large-format book, which brings the great era of steamship travel on the Rhine back to life on 96 pages (32 of which are in color) with around 110 historical photos (mostly from the period between 1930 and 1970) by Carl Bellingrodt, Detlev Luckmann and many others.
