The ship was built in 1928 on the shipyard in Bodenwerder on the Weser. Previously, she did her job as a passenger ferry in Wilhelmshausen on the Fulda.

The dimensions of the AMANDA are:

Length: 14 meters

Width: 5 meters

Weight: 29 tons

Power: 48 hp

The drive is via a 3-cylinder diesel engine via 2 Schottel drives, which make it possible to dance on the river Weser, which can be demonstrated by Mr. Wartenberg at any time (do not forget the camera!)

The communal company "Grosser Weser Bow" bought the ferry in 1988 and then she got her name by means of an ideas competition:

A M A N D A

The AMANDA ferry has now been converted from a passenger car ferry into a passenger and bicycle ferry and has been in use since 1989 on the "Grosse Weserbogen".

The daily travel times are weekdays from 11.00 - 18.00 clock and Sundays from 10.00 - 19.00 clock. Mondays is a rest day!

In extremely bad weather (especially in spring time and late autumn, the ferry service can be stopped.

Outside of the operating times, larger groups and prior order can be ordered under the Tel. 01522 - 925 58 39 also other ferry times can be agreed.

With anxious and funny, as well as happy passengers, a very special "trunk" can be purchased, which is best suited for the passage through the Weser floods.
