The museum ship "Oscar Huber", built in 1922, is a unique cultural monument. Up until the 1960s, the wheeled boat pulled up to seven unpowered barges with their loads per trip. It stands for a technology that has been in use for more than 100 years.

Towards the end of the 1950s, push boats with diesel engines appeared and gradually replaced the tugboats. The "Oscar Huber" was the only paddle steamer on the Rhine to escape scrapping.

Today it is anchored on the towpath at the Schifferbörse. Here you can marvel at the impressive technology. The machine room is just as accessible as the former team and living rooms.

The ship is located on the Rheinprominade near the mouth of the Ruhr.
