history

The Anna ferry was built in 1930 in the Laubegast shipyard in Dresden as a Pillnitz motor ferry for the Saxon-Bohemian Steamship Company , where the Pillnitz was the first pure motor ferry. During the Second World War , it was used in an armaments factory near the town of Riesa on the Elbe . During the war the ship was damaged and sank. Immediately after the end of the war, the wreck of the ferry was lifted and overtaken again at the Laubegast shipyard. After the expropriation of the Saxon-Bohemian Steamship Company, the Pillnitz came to the state of Saxony and was used in the state's shipping and transshipment operations until 1949. In 1950, the ferry came as Pillnitz I to the Dresden public transport companies . After the political changes that took THA and subsequently from the state-owned company emerged (VEB) Dresden Transport AG Pillnitz I . It was used on various ferry connections of the Dresden transport company across the Elbe.

In October 2012 the ferry was sold to the Nordstern shipping company based in Brandenburg an der Havel. In Brandenburg the ship was renamed Anna .
