Rheinkadetten were until about the middle of the 20th century, load carriers and laborers in the ports and at the yards along the Rhine. They were named differently according to the respective Rhenish dialect. For example, Poortekerls (Emmerich), [1] NRZ, Poortekerl, Rhienkadette (Dusseldorf) or Kluten (Cologne).
