    Great view over the Weser and the historic ferry station.

      The Luchtringer ferry house was built around 1540. The ferryman lived with his family and cattle in a one-storey half-timbered house with a half-hipped, the ferry house. This “lease” was first mentioned in the lease of November 9th, 1673. During this time, vehicles and people were transported with the help of a deep cable ferry.

      In 1913 the ferry passed into the hands of the political community. After the conversion, a high-rope ferry with corresponding masts was put into operation in 1914. From that point on, the ferry house was only used as a service house for the ferryman. When Luchtringen received the long-awaited Weser bridge in 1977, ferry operations were discontinued.

      Today the ferry house is used for board meetings and small events. A special highlight are the “Luchtringer Stories”, which have been told in the Luchtringer Fährhaus for years.
