Thanks to some enthusiasts\u2019 persistent commitment, you can still discover the beauty of the industrial island from this perspective, even after 120 years. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Certain places remain the same. These places don\u2019t even intend to keep abreast of the times but rather maintain their very own, unhurried rhythm. The northern edge of Friesenheimer Insel island in Mannheim is such a place. The meanders of the original course of the Rhine River, the Altrhein, flow slowly here. Driftwood wanders along the riverbank, birds sing and swans cackle. In this tranquil scene, by means of a rattling chain, the ferry has been brought from Friesenheimer Insel island to Mannheim Sandhofen and back again for quite some 120 years.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/SLF2081.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7672 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/SLF2081.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/SLF2081.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/SLF2081-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/SLF2081-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Authorities use the name \u2018Altrheinf\u00e4hre Sandhofen\u2019, but locals call her \u2018Emma.\u2019 This female name was given to her by long-standing ferryman Willi Bauer. Nobody knows where it derives from anymore, but the use of the name has persisted. The old ferry has a lot in common with its name twin Emma, the reliable steam locomotive in the children\u2019s novel \u201cJim Button and Luke the Engine Driver.\u201d The writer Michael Ende characterized it as \u201csomewhat old-fashioned but dependable,\u201d which fits the ferry just as much.

Fatmir Elshani is always aboard the ferry. Even if this leaves only one day for him in summer to fly to Kosovo to visit his mother. \u201cThat\u2019s life,\u201d he says. He has chosen to be a ferryman. Fatmir used to work as a waiter in the nearby fish restaurant \u2018Dehus\u2019 and he continues to work there in winter. Or on weekends during lunch break\u2014the restaurant is booming. Town authorities were looking for a new ferryman in 2009 and couldn\u2019t find anyone for a long time. \u201cAll right, I\u2019ll take on the duty,\u201d Fatmir decided and floats \u201cto and fro, to and fro, \u2026\u201d and is on the ferry, even when nobody want to go to or fro.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>He doesn\u2019t like lazy days when he and Emma have to wait for passengers. He spends them scrubbing or oiling the ferry or attempting to have a nap in one of the plastic chairs whose reddish colour has been faded by the sun. \u201cBut this attempt usually fails.\u201d So he strolls towards the restaurant, drinks a coffee or two, \u201ccruises the internet\u201d and has an eye on the scene to spot oncoming passengers on the bank \u201cover here or over there\u201d, which sounds like \u201chiwwe oder driwwe\u201d in Palatinate dialect.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWhere are you off to today\u2014Venice?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Fatmir likes the busy days much better\u2014when someone listens to his jokes, his gesturing hands have an audience and the weather-beaten suntanned wrinkles have something to laugh about. Down to earth with his legs astride, wearing shirt and shorts he stands on the ferry, in backless slippers with white socks. He bows courteously to the passengers and guides them onto the ferry with an inviting gesture: \u201cWhere are you off to today\u2014Venice?\u201d He answers the passengers\u2019 enquiry on the departure time saying \u201cwhen the bus is fully loaded\u201d and the enquiry about the price responding \u201c100 euro.\u201d Then he smirks and lies in wait for the response. And when the river police\u2019s speedboat trailer on the Sandhofen bank gets stuck again, he chugs over, unpacks his toolbox equipped to serve any incident and lends a hand. The ferryman\u2014like the good guys in the white hats. The policemen smile with confirmation: \u201cIndeed, he helps maintaining law and order.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/\u00dcberfahrende009.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7709 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/\u00dcberfahrende009.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/\u00dcberfahrende009.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/\u00dcberfahrende009-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/\u00dcberfahrende009-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The place only became an island since the straightening of the Rhine. The \u2018Friesenheimer Durchstich\u2019 opening cut the farmers in Friesenheim and Oppau off from their fields back in 1827. They had to move via ferries ever since. In 1862 the island now located on the right of the Rhine became part of Baden and Sandhofen. Mannheim acquired the island in 1895 and began constructing the industrial harbour. The farmers from Sandhofen insisted on the ferry service. So Mannheim commissioned its construction. In 1899, the ferry crossed the water for the first time. When Sandhofen became a part of Mannheim in 1913, it was included in the incorporation treaty that the ferry service be continued.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7731\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/SLF3066-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7731\" class=\"wp-image-7731 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/SLF3066-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1155\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/SLF3066-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/SLF3066-1-260x300.jpg 260w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/SLF3066-1-768x887.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/SLF3066-1-887x1024.jpg 887w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-7731\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The course of the Rhine around Mannheim: The Quadratestadt (\u2018square town\u2019) at the bottom right; Friesenheimer Insel island to the north with the opening westwards and Sandhofen north-eastwards.

Tractors don\u2019t cross the water here anymore. \u201cModern Bulldogs are way too big for the ferry. And they are quick enough to make the detour over the bridge.\u201d Emma hasn\u2019t served her original purpose for a long time. \u201cBut she has dear friends, who care for her and are active on her behalf,\u201d says Roland, such as marine engineer Claus Winterheld, who has known Emma since his childhood and for whom the ferry is an integral part of Friesenheim island. Emma didn\u2019t pass a technical inspection in 2008 and should have been fully repaired for 300,000 euro. Too much for the town.&nbsp; \u201cI fetched it from the scrapyard,\u201d says Claus with a firm and committed tone. He sought and found further supporters, including the town, and they restored the ferry together. Claus became operator of the ferry service, which is still owned by the town.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/F\u00e4hre017.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7688 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/F\u00e4hre017.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/F\u00e4hre017.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/F\u00e4hre017-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/F\u00e4hre017-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Richard Dehus, whose restaurant of the same name is located just above the mooring, was the previous operator for many years. The restaurant is about as old as the ferry itself. Has anything changed here over the past few years? \u201cNo,\u201d answers Fatmir surprised and almost with dismay. Most visitors here are regular guests. They have always been sitting on these dark wood chairs with flowering cushions and eating what the river and the island have to offer: pike, pikeperch and catfish, an occasional boar or roe deer\u2014cooked by current owner Georg Wetzel, the \u2018spaetzle gramps\u2019, who will be standing at the hot stove as long as he is able to stand, as he declares firmly.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7705\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Restaurant-Dehus007.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7705\" class=\"wp-image-7705 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Restaurant-Dehus007.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Restaurant-Dehus007.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Restaurant-Dehus007-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Restaurant-Dehus007-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-7705\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Georg Wetzel: owner and chef at Restaurant Dehus \u201cfor as long as I can stand.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<p>After having had their meals, many guests cross the water with Fatmir. It is just a must. Apart from these passengers, Emma mainly carries bikers from one river bank to the other\u2014such as Rob Kraneveld, who rides on the Rhine cycle track along the entire river from its mouth in Antwerp to its headwaters in the Swiss Alps; or regular guest Timo Siedelberg, who goes to work by bike from Heidelberg to the north of Mannheim on fine-weather days and who even makes a detour on his bike to be able to cross the water by ferry; or Roland, who goes to Lampertheim every Sunday by train and strolls back to the Mannheim part of town Neckarstadt. He takes more than one ferry trip with Emma at a time\u2014the five-minute journey is clearly not sufficient enough to take a ride with and have a decent talk with Fatmir.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adfc-bw.de\/mannheim\/termine-und-service\/faehrzeiten\/#c9022\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Informations from the ADFC<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It hasn\u2019t served its original purpose for a long time and it even landed in the scrapyard once: But the Altrheinf\u00e4hre (literally: Old Rhine Ferry) between Friesenheimer Insel island and the Mannheim Sandhofen neighbourhood has returned.
