Gustav Zeuner, Museum ship at Science Harbor, Magdeburg, Germany

The iron-built Gustav Zeuner spans 55 meters in length and features a chain gripper wheel measuring 2320 millimeters in diameter for river navigation.

Built in Dresden-Übigau during 1894, this chain tugboat operated along the Elbe River until 1931, transporting industrial cargo between different ports.

Named after German engineer Gustav Zeuner, the vessel represents the technological advancement of river transportation during German industrialization in the 19th century.

The museum ship welcomes visitors from May to November with guided tours at 10:00, 12:00, and 14:00 from Wednesday through Sunday.

The vessel contains two water jet turbines connected to the main engine through detachable couplings, allowing independent movement when not attached to chains.
