Göring-Kahn, Historic wooden barge in Brandenburg, Germany.

The Göring-Kahn wooden barge measures approximately 55 meters in length and 8.2 meters in width with a cargo capacity of 500-600 tons.

The vessel belongs to a series of cargo barges constructed in Uddevalla, Sweden during the early 1940s for the Reichswerke AG für Binnenschiffahrt transport network.

The term Göring-Kahn emerged among German inland shipmen to identify vessels operated by Reich Waterways Authorities and later assigned to Reich Labor Service.

The barge features a metal bow designed for ice breaking and maintains a robust wooden structure suitable for inland waterway transportation.

The original construction drawings of these barges disappeared, leaving only physical evidence from discovered wrecks to document their engineering specifications.
