Kralingseveer, also spelled Kralingse Veer, was annexed by Rotterdam from Capelle aan den IJssel in 1941 and has since been a small district in the Prins Alexander district in the east of the municipality of Rotterdam. Since 1978, it no longer borders directly on Rotterdam due to a land swap with Capelle aan den IJssel.
The district is located north of the Nieuwe Maas, east of the Van Brienenoordbrug and is enclosed by the municipality of Capelle aan den IJssel: the Rivium industrial estate on the west and north side and the Keten district on the east side. The small harbour that made Kralingseveer famous is located on the Nieuwe Maas. The district is home to the Laankerk, home to the Restored Reformed Church of Rotterdam Kralingse Veer.
The name Kralingse Veer is a reminder of the ferry from Kralingen to IJsselmonde. This ferry is mentioned in a charter from 1333, but is probably much older. It is quite possible that the ferry formed a link in a main road of the Roman Empire. Over time, an inn, the ferryman's house, a stable for horses and fishermen settled around the ferry who (among other things) fished for salmon.
Salmon fishing was an important source of income and ensured the growth of the settlement. In the middle of the eighteenth century, the approach became more professional and a market building and a fish auction were built on the Schaardijk. At that time, Kralingse Veer had the largest salmon auction in the Netherlands; called Zalmhuis. At the end of the nineteenth century, the catches decreased sharply. According to the Algemeen Handelsblad, 140 salmon were still landed in one week at the end of December 1889. They were sold for two guilders per half kilo. The salmon was suppressed by the normalisation of the Rhine, overfishing and increasing water pollution. The fish eventually disappeared completely from the Nieuwe Maas. In 1955, the building of the fish auction was demolished. In 2002, the Salmon House was rebuilt and now houses a restaurant.
