The Ruhr Ferry was a historic ferry service that transported people from the Alstaden Ruhr riverbank to the other side of the Ruhr, to Mülheim. For just 2 pfennigs, one could cross the Ruhr and feel like an adventurer on a little journey.

Today, this monument on the Ruhr dike commemorates this charming connection.
