「塩分を含んだ空気、太陽、霜、その他の気象の影響により、錆が発生し、鉄骨構造が弱体化します」と、オステン＝ヘムモアの空中フェリー保存のための支援団体であるカール＝ハインツ・ブリンクマンは説明しました。支援協会によると、錆を食い止めなければなりません。そのためには、損傷箇所を清掃して密閉する必要があります。「いくつかの欠陥部品は交換する必要があります」とブリンクマンは述べています。改修は今後2年間で計画されています。

クックスハーフェン郡は所有者として資金調達に努めており、そのために様々な助成金申請書が作成されました。連邦政府は約200万ユーロ、ドイツ記念物保護財団などはさらに8万ユーロを負担します。同郡は、残りの約650万ユーロを負担すると発表しています。

The ferry has been crossing the Oste River between Osten and Hemmoor in the Cuxhaven district for 116 years. The renovation of this cultural monument will cost more than 8.6 million euros. The transporter bridge in the Cuxhaven district was put into operation in 1909. After a bridge was built nearby in the 1970s, it became redundant for regular traffic. Volunteers campaigned to keep it running for pedestrians, cyclists, and small vehicles – successfully: This year, the support association, which has since also founded the "FährStuv" museum, is celebrating its 50th anniversary. The transporter bridge has developed into a tourist attraction over the past decades, says Brinkmann. The ferry is not a ship, but a vessel that travels across a body of water suspended from a fixed support structure. According to the support association, there are only eight transporter bridges left in the world. In Germany, another one normally operates in Rendsburg.

Transporter bridge: There are only a few transporter bridges left in the world. There were once 20, but today only eight remain in operation. Germany's oldest is located on the Oste River in the municipality of Hemmoor. Its operation and maintenance are the responsibility of the Hemmoor Support Association, founded in 1975 and currently boasting approximately 250 members.

The ferry is not a ship, but a vehicle that travels across a body of water suspended from a fixed support structure. According to the supporting association, there are only eight transporter bridges left in the world. In Germany, another normally operates in Rendsburg across the Kiel Canal. However, due to a technical defect, it will be out of service until at least the end of July, according to the operator. Other such structures exist in Argentina, France, Great Britain, and Spain, according to the World Association of Transporter Bridges.

Beautiful old historic houses are located here on the dike in Osten. A ride on the transporter bridge is highly recommended 👍🏻. Hiking and cycling tours are also great options here.

Absolutely worth trying! Highly recommended after visiting the transporter bridge!
