history

With the fall of the Berlin Wall , the shipping company , which until then had mainly been on the waterways in western Berlin , was able to extend its sightseeing tours to all of Berlin's rivers and canals. In 1996 the Freise family acquired the family company and founded the Riedel GmbH shipping company . Over time, the shipowners acquired more ships and hired new employees. A gradual modernization of the fleet began in 1997 and six new ships were put into service from 2003. Since 2008, the shipping company has been the second largest passenger shipping company in Berlin after Stern and Kreisschiffahrt, with 16 passenger ships and 38 berths in the Berlin urban area . Uwe Fabich and Holger Jackisch have been the new owners of the Riedel shipping company since January 2020. You already own the Funkhaus Nalepastraße, which is located next to the headquarters of the Riedel shipping company .

Bernhard Freise, brother of the former Berlin managing director, ran the independent shipping company Riedel GmbH Halle in Halle an der Saale . The trips there took place between Bernburg and Merseburg on the Saale . After bankruptcy, the ships put in were sold in 2019.

Ship inventory of the shipping company

In Berlin

The company operates a total of 15 passenger ships on Berlin's waters.

The shipping company had the Spree-Diamant ship equipped with soot particle filters at the beginning of the 2010s , and the Kreuzberg ship also received such a filter. The fine dust particles emitted by the diesel engines are thus reduced by up to 97 percent. In the course of the discussion about environmental pollution in inner cities, this is an important contribution made by ship owners.
