The paddle steamer Aussig was built in 1858 in the Blasewitz shipyard from delivered parts. The manufacturer of the ship parts was the Swiss engineering company Escher Wyss & Co. in Zurich .
The time until 1903
After commissioning as a smooth-deck steamer , the ship drove for the United Saxon-Bohemian Steamship , which was converted into the Saxon-Bohemian Steamship Company (SBDG) in March 1867 . It was the first ship in Saxony with patent side wheels.
In order to avoid the access of the Kingdom of Prussia , the ship was relocated to Theresienstadt in May 1866 in the run-up to the Austro-Prussian War and only relocated to Dresden after the end of the war in August 1866.
In 1867 the ship was not in service. It was kept in reserve. In 1868 it was used as a tugboat.
In 1874 the two-flame tube suitcase boiler was replaced by a new two-flame tube suitcase boiler. In 1875 the ship underwent a complete renovation, in which it was lengthened by 3.68 m. The boiler system and the steam engine were scrapped. The new boiler and the steam engine were made by the Prague mechanical engineering company. Ruston & Co. delivered. In 1888 the ship received a new steam boiler. This was supplied by the Saxon Steamship and Mechanical Engineering Company of the Oesterreichische Nordwest Dampfschiffahrtsgesellschaft in Dresden .
In 1901 the ship was rebuilt and received a steam steering engine . In autumn 1902 the ship was sold to Eduard Täubrich, who came from Krippen , for 24,500 marks.
The time after the sale
It was used by the Anhaltische Dampfschiffahrt based in Roßlau . The ship was named Courier here . For excursion traffic it served the Kornhaus (Dessau) - Coswig and Roßlau - Barby routes . It was also used as a cargo ship on the Magdeburg - Mühlberg route.
In 1909 it was sold to Otto and Paul Wernecke in Magdeburg . Here it was used under the name Admiral . The ship was then scrapped around 1912.
The steam engine
The steam engine, like the first two-flame tube suitcase boiler, was built by the Swiss engineering company Escher Wyss & Co. in Zurich . It was an oscillating low-pressure two-cylinder twin steam engine with an output of 140 hp. In 1875 the existing machine was replaced by an oscillating high-pressure two-cylinder compound steam engine. The machine as well as the two-flame tube cylinder boiler with 5 bar steam pressure were made by the Prager Maschinenbau-Aktiengesellschaft vorm. Ruston & Co. built.
