Chain tug steamer Gustav Zeuner

The chain tug steamer Gustav Zeuner, a historical ship model, is a unique example of maritime engineering from the 19th century. It was built in 1891 in the steamship shipyard in Altenburg and was originally used to transport goods on the Elbe. Particularly interesting is the chain towing technique, which enabled the ship to navigate independently of wind conditions.

Visitors can learn about the construction and functioning of the steam power that once shaped the region's economy. The steamer is part of the maritime heritage and impressively shows how shipping has developed over the decades. There are also guided tours that offer deeper insights into the history and operation of the ship. A visit to Gustav Zeuner is not only educational, but also an opportunity to experience up close the connection between industrial history and technical progress.
