    "The Ecological Rhine Station of the University of Cologne is located on a former Rhine ship, south of Cologne city center on the left bank of the Rhine. The Rhine is one of the largest rivers in Central Europe and a habitat for fish, mussels, small animals, plankton and protozoa. The running water laboratories on board the Rhine station offer scientists and students of the Zoological Institute excellent conditions to research animals in the Rhine water in a realistic way and to perceive changes in the Rhine ecosystem in a timely manner."

    The research project is unique in Europe. like dr Becker from the University of Cologne says, possibly even worldwide.
    In the running water laboratories on board the Rhine station, Becker, his colleagues and the students investigate what changes occur in the Rhine ecosystem and why they occur. The water quality of the Rhine has improved significantly over the past few decades, but the river is not entirely unproblematic.

    Interesting moored ship as a research station. The rear long platform is used to launch boats
