Story

Shipping on Lake Chiemsee goes back to the master carpenter Wolfgang Schmid from Grassau, who in 1843 received a permit to operate steamships on Lake Chiemsee with the obligation to adhere to the timetable, and on May 5, 1845 with the operation of a paddle steamer he built from wood started. However, due to technical problems and high operating costs, steamship traffic was soon abandoned.

The Munich coppersmith Joseph Feßler, who had manufactured the boiler system for the steamship built by Wolfgang Schmid, received permission to continue steamship travel on Lake Chiemsee in 1848, took over the steamship from Wolfgang Schmid, expanded the steam engine and started on July 14, 1849 Traffic. Ten years later, an iron ship built by the Maffeiwerke was used, which was equipped with the steam engine from the old ship.
