Prince Henry with power steering
Full steam ahead with electric support
Germany's oldest twin-screw passenger steamer, the Prinz Heinrich, now sails with the support of Baumüller-Servotechnik.
Built in 1909 at the Meyer shipyard in Leer, East Frisia, the traditional ship Prinz Heinrich has already made an impressive journey. Germany's oldest twin-screw passenger steamer was built to carry passengers, was used as a supply ship during the world wars and was even converted into a motor ship in the meantime. For some time, the Prinz Heinrich was a museum ship until it was finally refurbished in a visibly poor condition by the specially founded association "Traditionsschiff Prinz Heinrich e.V.".
Today, the ship is a national cultural monument and has been fully operational since the restoration work was completed in summer 2018. The ship is once again sailing as it used to, using energy from the steam boiler in the traditional way.
But one small thing has changed: The job at the wheel is no longer quite as strenuous as it was a hundred years ago. This is made possible by a retrofitted power steering system with electrical support from a Baumüller drive system with the DSM 190 disc motor. The drive system, consisting of the b maxx mobil controller specially designed for mobile use and the DSM 190 disc motor, increases the power transmission from the steering wheel to the rudder, significantly improving maneuverability. as
