German Inland Waterways Museum

Excellent industrial history museum focusing on German inland shipping. Free public parking for just 2 hours, which is short to really go through all exhibitions at ease. Texts in German, with in many cases an English summary.

Amazing museum. Helpful staff. Various types of model ships, ship equipments. Very detailed ship models could be seen. And to have an idea about transport history on Rhine River is easy in this museum. Tickets for an adult and one child was €6. There is a museum shop as well.

What a gem of a museum! The museum was really interesting with much to learn of the history of shipping in Germany and how it evolved over time. The building has an interesting history itself and the layout of was done expertly. There is information in both English and German. The museum contains old photos, documents as well as replicas and real historical pieces of ships. It also shows the more modern ships and how they operate and also allocates a section to the people in the shipping industry. There are also games for kids.
We spent about two hours there. The entrance fee was really low. Most of the areas is wheelchair accessible. Can definitely recommend!

Amazing museum!!! There is plenty of interesting information and exposition for elder and youngsters as well. 5 🌟.

Very nice. It's almost free. Pay what you won't. Some of the info is also in English.

An old public bath house transformed into a museum about Rhine shipping in particular.

Also owns a collection of museum ships, which are based both at the museum itself and at the Henrichenburg boat lift.

Super

Cool

Стоимость билета 4.50 эвро.
Заходите, покупаете билет, и начинаете свою прогулку по музею. Интересные оформления композиций, практически всё можно потрогать, прикоснуться к прошлому. Посмотреть как работают механизмы. В музее стоит еле уловимый запах старого дерева. И я так понимаю, задумка такая, с динамиков идёт лёгкий звуковой фон. Шум или механизмов, или так наверное шумит порт.
Сам музей имеет два параллельных крыла, в каждом из которых стоит корабль. В одном парусник, в другом катер прогулочный. Или что то такое. И все композиции уже оформлены вокруг них.
Мне понравилось. Рассчитывайте потратить около двух часов.
Неспешно побродить. Порассматривать мелкие детали на моделях различных кораблей.

Schönes Jugendstil Gebäude mit interessanter Ausstellung und guten Fotomotiven. Einige Bereiche sind nur im Rahmen einer Führung zugänglich. Trotzdem denke ich, dass sich ein Besuch auch mit Kindern lohnt. Wem das gefällt, der kann an einem anderen Tag im Anschluss noch das Schiffshebewerk Henrichenburg besuchen.

Ausgesprochen interessant. Alleine das Gebäude ist sehenswert. Unendlich viele liebevoll gestaltete Exponate, leider etwas ungepflegt oder außer Betrieb. Das Personal erscheint etwas genervt. Auf jeden Fall ist der Besuch ein Erlebnis, auch für Kinder.

Ein sehr durchdachtes und überraschend großes Museum. Viele Miniatur-Modelle von Schiffen, Situationen, Häfen und großen Gerätschaften die rund um die Schifffahrt genutzt werden.
Der Eintrittspreis ist absolut akzeptabel für das Museum. Wir konnten leider nicht auf die Schiffe, aber es gab auch so genug zu sehen.
