Beginnings

After Georg Boßler had learned the trade of skipper, he was involved in a commercial rental of boats and gondolas in Neckarsteinach from 1910 . This business was run jointly by his father, himself and his three brothers. Georg Boßler was already organizing tourist excursions from Neckarsteinach to Heidelberg at this time.

Georg Boßler founded the shipping company Personenschiffahrt Gebr. Bossler together with his brother Andreas in 1926, the first motorized passenger ship of the Boßler brothers, the 45 hp Viktor von Scheffel built in 1921 at the Ebert and Sons shipyard for Andreas Boßler . In 1927 the passenger ship Bligger von Steinach was put into service. In 1928 the Alt-Heidelberg I followed in the passenger fleet.

For the two shipping entrepreneurs Georg and Andreas Boßler, the 1930s were characterized by the fact that four passenger ships were taken over from the competing entrepreneur Gebr. Fischer & Zahnleitner. These included the unity , Karl Theodor , Liselotte and Von Hindenburg units . The owners of Von Hindenburg in 1938 were his two nephews Herbert and Karl Boßler (* 1912; † 1964).

After the Second World War , only three of the former seven passenger ships were still in service with the Boßler brothers. The Liselotte sank due to war damage, the unity remained with the US armed forces , the Karl Theodor came to Speyer and the Von Hindenburg found its way to Koblenz .

Like his younger brother Andreas, Georg Boßler was one of the pioneers in the white shipping sector on the Neckar. He did not experience the further development of the shipping company he co-founded after the Second World War . This was influenced by the fact that the shipping companies Bossler instrumental in tourism were involved and tourism in Neckarsteinach and the surrounding area and high representatives from the fields of government and politics mattered and from abroad to their guests.
