Hallasch

A Hallasch ( Halleisch or Halläsch , a short form for 'Halleiner Schiff') was a form of the Zille that ran from the Schopper or the Zillner (ship's carpenter) as a salt transport ship on the Salzach (more rarely also on the Inn). It was a good 10 m long and at its widest point about 2.5 m wide. In order to be able to drive the Salzach even when the water level was low, it had a flat bottom. The side planks converged at the front and back. As a rule, the ship was operated by six men and, as stipulated by law, had a carrying capacity of about 230 loads and provided the salt transport at fixed prices. The ship, also traditionally called Holarsch in Passau , was the somewhat smaller model. The somewhat larger and older was the ash .

A Salzburger Schiffsordnung from 1616 regulated construction, dimensions and prices. The cargo was exactly 227 Fuder (almost 14 tons ), the trip down the river was called Hallfahrt or Nauffahrt . The return journey up the river with the help of horses was called the return journey. 27 to 37 hall trips formed a master's salt .

Salt below Laufen was mostly transported on the larger plateaus and then on the Danube on ship trains with the larger Kelheimers at the top and the following smaller floaters . (See here also contribution Danube navigation ).
