In 1949 the ship was built as a docking station at the G. Renck shipyard in Hamburg-Harburg. For HADAG , to which it was delivered on May 17, 1949, the 23.00 meter long ship from a series of four ships was in service on the lower Elbe until 1965 . In November of the same year Georg Krüger from Berlin bought it , had it rebuilt in the Wiese-Werft (today Burchardi-Werft, Berlin-Spandau) and had the stern extended. The ship was now named Spree-Athen and sailed the Unterhavel from Wannsee . In 1966 it was extended by 6.00 meters. The box rear was given in 1975 during a further conversion. Now the ship was 31.60 meters long.
In 1981 the shipping company Otto Feister took over the ship, which sold it to the shipping company Riedel on December 29, 1989 . Since then it has been used for inner-city tours over the Spree and Landwehr Canal. At the end of 2010 it was re-engineered and modernized in 2013.
