history

The ship with the hull number 222 was built in 1987 at the Schmidt shipyard in Remagen - Oberwinter for the Heldmann passenger ship by the owner Hans Rudolf Heldmann. From spring to autumn, the ship operated liner services on the Lahn between Limburg and Balduinstein . The travel program was supplemented by themed, company and charter trips. In winter the ship was an inn at the Limburg lock.

In the summer of 2012, Hans Rudolf Heldmann sold his business to Josef Vomfell, who has been running the shipping company and the Limburg coat of arms since then as the Vomfell Lahntalschiffahrt. From April (Easter) to the end of October, trips are made on the Lahn between the landing stages in Limburg, Diez and Balduinstein. The travel program is supplemented by tours to Dietkirchen and Dehrn Castle , to Oranienstein Castle and charter trips.
