    In the spring of 1927, the saloon steamer "Ludwig Fessler" was put into service. The paddle steamer was built by the Regensburg shipyard Theodor Hitzler. The steam boiler and the engine came from J. A. Maffei in Munich.

    The ship was assembled in Prien am Chiemsee from the spring of 1926. It was a turbulent hustle and bustle: components were constantly being delivered, hammering and riveting, carpentry and painting were carried out. Everyone involved was eagerly awaiting the completion of the 53 m long and 11.60 m wide ship.
