As early as 1272, the town of Sandau was allowed to operate a “free ferry” by the Ascanian margraves. For centuries, ferry access remained a right of the city. In 1703 the ferry was leased for 37 thalers and 12 groschen per quarter. During the fierce fighting around Sandau at the end of the Second World War, the ferry received three direct hits. Since 1962 the ferry has been operated again by the city of Sandau.
The ferry vehicle is 36 meters long and 10 meters wide. Up to twelve cars can be transported at the same time; the load capacity is 45 tons. The ferry is attached to a rope attached 500 meters upstream. The current pushes the ship to the left or right, depending on the angle of the ferry vehicle, so that the approximately 200 meter wide Elbe can be crossed without engine power. The ferry commutes from Sandau on the right bank of the Elbe to the bank on the left bank of the Elbe. The next settlement on the left bank of the Elbe is Büttnershof. During floods, the ferry is powered by motor power; the fares are then increased.
