Germany

- In 1925, the ‘Ingeborg III’ set sail from Lake Wannsee via the River Oder, Stettin and Swinemünde towards the Baltic Sea, avoiding the route via the River Havel, the River Elbe and Havelberg.
- The cruiser served as a comfortable living and touring vessel with seven berths, four cabins and a well-equipped kitchen for six people.
- The 250-km journey to Swinemünde takes 17⅓ hours and requires 125 litres of fuel; the cost per person is lower than that of a 4th-class rail journey.

- The ‘Ingeborg 3’ runs aground on a shoal; the propeller is damaged and becomes entangled in a heavy steel cable.
- Despite an icy deck, thick fog and flooded areas, the crew slowly make their way upstream along the Havel.
- After freeing the propeller, the boat reaches the Wannsee via Brandenburg, Werder and Potsdam, where it moors at the M.Y.C.v.D.

- Persistently record-low water levels are causing water levels to fall, particularly on the Rhine, the Danube and Lake Constance; freight transport on the Rhine is particularly affected.  
- The key figure is the navigable channel depth, calculated from the water level, a statistical reference value (GIW or RNW) and the target navigable channel depth.  
- Eastern waterways such as the Elbe report navigable channel depths or permissible draughts/loading depths directly; information on water levels is available online from the WSV.

Waterways: Channel depths – how deep the water really is

- Due to cable-laying works in the Jade, eastern and western diversion channels are in place until 22 September.
- The diversion channels are located east of buoys 34–38 and west of buoys 35–39; Details can be found in BfS (T)115/26.
- Yellow buoys with black lettering ‘NC 1–6’ and lights (Fl.) mark the construction site until the WSA Weser-Jade-Nordsee announces that the works have ended.

- Low water levels highlight the fact that water levels fluctuate significantly and that there are hardly any stable water levels on inland waterways.  
- Water levels are measured and published several times a day, but on their own they do not provide any information about the actual water depth.  
- For shipping, the guaranteed channel depth is crucial; this is measured at the shallowest point and relative to the daily water level from zero.

- The motor cruiser ‘Ingeborg 3’ will sail up the Elbe to Hamburg on Easter Sunday and moor behind the St. Pauli landing stages.  
- Easter celebrations with friends in Hamburg and on board, followed by a continuation of the journey with guests and a stopover in Lauenburg for a walk ashore and a coffee.  
- Night-time voyage up the Elbe, anchoring between the groynes, followed by a continuation of the journey to the mouth of the Havel and up the Havel to Havelberg, experiencing engine trouble.

- The new Kattwyk railway bridge over the Süderelbe will be closed to vessels from 17 August 1926, 8.00 am, until 28 August 1926, 6.00 pm.
- Closure due to maintenance work; any changes to the closure times will be published in a notice for inland waterway shipping.
- The two Kattwyk bascule bridges are among the largest in Europe, with a clearance height of 53 metres and a history of several shipping accidents.

- ‘Missunde III’ is out of service due to numerous breakdowns; the old ferry ‘Missunde II’ is being prepared at the shipyard for its return to service.
- At the same time, the state of Schleswig-Holstein is planning a new ferry and is allowing the “Missunde III” to continue operating for the time being, despite repeated breakdowns and safety deficiencies.
- Costs have risen from the planned 2.5 to around 6.5 million euros; the state is considering claiming damages from the design firm and is seeking expert opinions.

The end for the ‘Missunde III’: State halts the breakdown ferry and plans a fresh start

- Neufeld Harbour is expected to have restricted access until the end of April 2027 due to work to reinforce the base of the dyke; the cost is around two million euros
- The local council is investing around 700,000 euros in new floating jetties and bridges; the number of berths is to be increased in future
- A small, tide-dependent marina for pleasure craft with around 50 berths and basic infrastructure; access is only possible at mean high tide

Dithmarschen: Neufeld Harbour is getting a new jetty

- In 1926, the motor cruiser ‘Ingeborg 3’ was travelling across the mudflats from the Weser towards the Elbe; repeated engine problems delayed the journey.
- As the tide went out, the boat ran aground near Neuwerk, listed heavily to one side and lay high and dry on the mudflats for several hours.
- With the rising tide, the vessel was refloated around midnight and reached the port of Cuxhaven during the night under a full moon and choppy seas.
