September 17, 2026 Regensburg’s History Along the Riverbank: The Harbor Crane & the House of Bavarian History

The historic harbor crane and the House of Bavarian History: two striking structures on the banks of the Danube in Regensburg that you can experience up close on a raft trip with FLOSSMEISTER.

Anyone traveling down the Danube on the FLOSSMEISTER will pass by one of Regensburg’s true landmarks: the historic harbor crane on the banks of the Danube. The striking yellow gantry crane is a reminder of the days when cargo ships were still being loaded and unloaded here—today, it’s a popular photo spot right from the raft.

Just a few meters further on is the House of Bavarian History—a modern museum right on the water that brings Bavaria’s history to life. This striking building, with its dark wooden facade, also catches the eye on every raft ride.
