FRS Elbfähre - Lifeline in the region

Ferries connect family and friends and are everyday commute

FRS Elbfähre Glückstadt Wischhafen not only connects the states of Schleswig-Holstein and Niedersachsen (Lower Saxony) - it is also the daily route to work for many commuters and brings friends and families together. Thanks to the year-round ferry service with daily departures from early in the morning until late in the evening, the Elbe is not a border but a link with a heart. Every day, around 70 employees of the "Norddeutsche Reederei" ensure that people meet and vehicles of all kinds can cross the Elbe. And they do this in sunshine as well as in pouring rain and strong winds from the side. For people from the region on both sides of the Elbe, the FRS Elbfähre is a faithful everyday companion and for tourists a maritime experience.

Jacqueline and Kevin Sperling show how much the FRS Elbfähre belongs to the life of the residents along the Elbe. They got married on August 28 in the "darned 7th year" and made a trip with the ferry with the entire wedding company. She is from Wischhafen and has her own sailmaking business here. He grew up in Schleswig-Holstein and works as an automotive mechatronics technician at Bosch Car Service Jürgen Wulff in Wischhafen. The cruise on the ferry thus had a symbolic character for the connection between the two families. In the future, too, both families will be able to see each other as often as they like thanks to the FRS Elbfähre.
