Oestricher Kran, Historical harbour crane in Oestrich-Winkel, Germany.
The Oestricher Kran stands as a stone structure with treadmills and winch mechanisms used for loading cargo along the Rhine River bank.
Built in 1745, this harbor crane operated continuously until 1926, serving as a central point for loading and unloading vessels on the Rhine River.
The crane remains the last preserved wine-loading crane on the Rhine's right bank, representing the regional wine trade development through centuries.
Located at coordinates 50°0'10.5"N and 8°1'48.5"E, the crane can be accessed via Bundesstraße 42 or through the local Rhine ferry service.
Two large treadmills inside the crane required workers to use their body weight for operating the winch system to transfer cargo between ships.
