- This page
is devoted to postcards and photographs of the Bodensee (Lake
Constance) diesel excursion vessel Allgäu.
-
- Allgäu
was one
of two large new Bodensee vessels delivered in 1929. Allgäu
was the first large motorship on the lake carrying over 1000
passengers. She entered service with Deutsche Reichsbahn on 14th
August, a month before the Stadt Überlingen (the
last and largest Bodensee paddlesteamer). Allgäu
cost RM 1,110,000, compared to RM 970.000 for the paddlesteamer.
In 1935 Allgäu was rebuilt as a three deck vessel.
She served with Deusche Bundesbahn after the war, and remained
the largest Bodensee ship until scrapped in 2001.
