history
predecessor
In February 1905, the two captains Jacob Suhr and Johannes Rüsch from Cranz acquired the paddle steamer Buxtehude , which had previously been called Primus . Primus , the oldest iron passenger ship on the Lower Elbe, had been in service since 1839. On the night of July 21, 1902, the ship collided with a tug between Cranz and Hamburg on the Elbe. 102 people were killed; most of them were members of the Eilbeck song board "Treue". After the salvage and renaming in Buxtehude , the new owners found that the ship had the reputation of a disaster steamer and that the public avoided using this vehicle as much as possible. So at the beginning of 1906 they sold the Buxtehude for demolition and ordered a new steamer from Johann Heinrich Fack in Itzehoe . It should complement the fleet of Buxtehude Altländer lines from the steamers Estebrügge , Elbe and Cranz I was. As passenger and general cargo drivers, the ships provided ferry traffic from Hamburg via Blankenese to Buxtehude and back.
Building Councilor Bolten
As early as the end of May 1906, the twin-screw passenger steamer Baurat Bolten - it was named after the then hydraulic engineering inspector from Buxtehude - was tested on a tour to Cuxhaven , and on June 2 of the same year it was handed over to its owners and broke for an official test drive between the jetty from St. Pauli and Stade . In the Itzehoer Nachrichten it was reported that the ship with its 97 gross register tons was designed for 260 people at that time, could hold eight tons of bunker coal and could reach a speed of ten knots with a consumption of 0.9 kg coal per HP and 50% filling. The two expansion machines and the boilers came from Christiansen & Meyer from Harburg . Four bulkheads divided the hull of the steamer into five rooms. The passengers found space in two salons below deck and a superstructure located amidships on the main deck as well as on the fore, aft and upper deck.
The Buxtehude-Altländer lines came under increasing pressure at the beginning of the 20th century. In the Altes Land almost every inn was moored, which made the journey extremely long, and there was also strong competition in the form of the Lower Elbe Railway, the newly introduced power post lines and the motorboat ferry that ran between Blankenese and Cranz. The deepening and regulation of the Elbe fairway also led to siltation of the upper Este , which often prevented Buxtehude from being approached. In 1914, the Buxtehude-Altländer line was merged into the Hamburg-Blankenese-Este line, which was to suffer in the following years from the effects of the First World War and the economic problems of the post-war years. The Pribislav steam launch was purchased in 1919 , but by 1923 only the construction officer Bolten was still in use of all the ships on the line and the company seemed to be at an end. In 1924, however, the steamers that had been launched could be overhauled and put back into operation, and the fleet was even expanded. The steamer construction officer Bolten was transferred to the shipping company Este-Linie on January 1, 1925 and changed its home port: Instead of Cranz, this was now Harburg-Wilhelmsburg.
Fritz Reuter
The Este Line's fleet was used for transport during the Second World War and did not suffer any losses. In the post-war period, in 1948, the building councilor Bolten was provided with permanent entrenchment and glazing of the superstructure. The ship was also renamed Fritz Reuter .
georg Friedrich Handel
In 1960 the ship was rebuilt at Pohl and Jozwiak in Hamburg. After the renovation it was measured with 110 gross register tons, was now 31.08 meters long and 6.19 meters wide and reached a draft of 1.50 meters. The vehicle, which could now accommodate 400 people, was powered by a four-stroke MWM diesel that produced 235 hp for a speed of 10.5 knots. Since the shipping company named all of its newer ships after composers, it was renamed again and was now called Georg Friedrich Handel . The Hamburg-Blankenese-Este-Linie was bought by Hafen-Dampfschiffahrt AG ( HADAG ) in 1963 .
Jacqueline H.
The HADAG sold on October 6, 1975 George Frideric Handel as the last ship of the former Este-line to the Rederij marginal sea in Harderwijk , after which the ship again changed its name and Jacqueline H. has been renamed. It now drove between Harderwijk and Zeewolde for Zeedierenpark Harderwijk BV
Prins Johan Friso
Another change of ownership brought another name change with it. From 1986 the ship was sailing the Rhine as Prins Johan Friso as a recreational ship and was owned by the Stichting Nederlands Rode Kruis.
The hall
In 1996 the ship was sold to Belgium. His new home port was Dessel and it was now called Den Diel . It was rebuilt again so that almost only the hull and part of the teak entrenchment remain of the old substance. A 350 hp 6-cylinder Volvo-Penta engine was installed, although the ship hardly moved from its berth at a crossing point of four channels. There it is used as a Pannenkoekenboot, on which, in addition to fresh soups, over 260 different types of pancakes are offered.
