Facts and practical information

The Mainz is a paddle steamer built in 1928/29 for the Dampfschiffahrts-Gesellschaft für den Nieder- und Mittelrhein, which was used by the Köln-Düsseldorfer Deutsche Rheinschiffahrt in scheduled service on the Rhine. She was the thousandth ship completed by the Christof Ruthof shipyard and also the last paddle steamer built for the Köln-Düsseldorfer. The Mainz was the only ship of the shipping company to survive the Second World War in running order, but was then so badly damaged in an accident on June 12, 1956 that the hull had to be rebuilt. Due to the high need for repairs and refurbishment, Köln-Düsseldorfer decommissioned the passenger ship after the 1980 summer season.

After being donated to the Society for the Promotion of the German Rhine Navigation Museum Mannheim, the excursion steamer was converted into an exhibition ship. Since October 17, 1985, it has been permanently moored as the Mannheim Museum Ship below the Kurpfalz Bridge on the Neckar River. It houses a permanent exhibition of the Technoseum on the history of inland navigation.
