    Museum ship from 1937
    From spring, Neanderland will have one more museum: In a museum ship, an elevated Aalschokker from 1937, the history of eel fishing on the Rhine will be told interactively, excitingly and authentically in Monheim am Rhein. The "Fiat Voluntas" was used for eel fishing on the Rhine near Neuss for almost 40 years until the turn of the millennium. Another attraction on the Rhine is the pier, which opened in 2017, with its 70-metre-long jetty, where ships “on the Neanderland Promenade” can now stop.

    A free eel fishing museum on the Fiat Voluntas dedicated to eel fishing. An old ship is on display and freely accessible. There are exhibits in the ship and through a book (a recording that is repeated) a grandfather explains to his grandson how eel fishing was done. A very beautiful thing. Hopefully something like this will be preserved.
    A small tour is also possible outside the ship.
    Warning: it is narrow and tall people may hit their heads.

    The Aalschokker was built in 1937 and sailed on the Rhine for about forty years until 2001 as an eel catcher.
    The freighter is now being converted into a museum ship and shows visitors how the fish was caught in the last century. The landing stage is opposite Klappertorstraße, where eels were smoked until 2007.
