Rendsburg Suspension Ferry Transforms Into Canal-Side Fish Eatery

Preserving collision damage as a historical feature, the operator plans to launch the eatery imminently.

Overview

  • Nearly €100,000 was invested to remove only irreparable sections and equip the 1913 ferry as a fish snack terrace.
  • A recent trial opening tested the site’s setup, with the official launch scheduled for later this month.
  • Bent steel beams and other visible deformations remain intact to showcase the vessel’s history.
  • Investigators found negligence by both the ferry’s helmsman and the freighter’s crew caused the 2016 collision that injured two people, one seriously.
  • A modern suspension ferry now handles crossings under the Rendsburg railway bridge; the operator is seeking partners to expand into a year-round attraction from spring 2026.
