Houseboat „Venus“: Was the last remaining houseboat directly at the mouth of the Nidda. Reports of police searches recently dominated the news surrounding the boat (as documented in the FNP).

The historic houseboat at the mouth of the Nidda in Frankfurt-Höchst is now known as the hotel ship and restaurant „Mainod“. It was built in 1958 by the Schlott family, christened „Peter Schlott“ on April 21, 1959, and came to Höchst in April 1959, where it has been permanently anchored ever since. The history of the ship Construction and christening: The Schlott family built the ship in 1958 in Freistett (Baden) according to their own plans. Arrival in Höchst: In April 1959, the ship sailed down the Rhine and Main to Frankfurt-Höchst at the mouth of the Nidda. Name: Originally, it was called „Peter Schlott“ after the family's namesake. Today's use: The ship was converted into a cult hotel ship with cabins and a restaurant with a terrace and renamed „Mainod“.

At the scenically attractive mouth of the Nidda in the area of the Frankfurter Wörthspitze, precisely on the border between the districts of Höchst and Nied, two privately used houseboats are traditionally moored fast. So your assumption is almost correct: there are indeed only two of these striking floating residential units that have shaped the image of the riverbank there for many decades. The better-known and slightly smaller of the two boats bears the charming name „Lambert van de Lücht“. This houseboat, technically completed in 1966, offers around 70 square meters of living space, is fully connected and gained additional notoriety in the region a few years ago when it made headlines in Frankfurt's real estate media because it was offered for private sale. Together with the second, larger neighboring boat, they form a photogenic, wildly romantic ensemble that is considered a popular postcard motif and a striking eye-catcher for walkers and cyclists on the Nidda cycle path.
