A beautiful, historic steamer that still sails in the Flensburg Fjord... if you're lucky, the ship will be in the harbor as you walk past

The paddle steamer Alexandra is a vibrant maritime landmark in Flensburg's historic harbor and is the last remaining sailing paddle steamer in Germany. Anchored directly in the museum harbor, the ship uniquely combines history, technology, and experience. The Alexandra was built in 1908 at the Janssen & Schmilinsky shipyard in Hamburg and named after Princess Alexandra of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg. From its inception, it operated on a regular service on the Flensburg Fjord. For decades, it also served as a patrol boat during the First World War, as a regatta support vessel at the 1936 Olympic Games in Kiel, and as a pilot boat, refugee vessel, and rescue ship during and after the Second World War. After the war, the Alexandra returned to civilian scheduled service in 1946, primarily on the Flensburg–Glücksburg route, and was finally decommissioned in 1975. After being decommissioned, she fell into disrepair in the harbor until 1979, when dedicated citizens formed the "Save the Alexandra" association and restored the ship. Thanks to their efforts, the Alexandra was seaworthy again in 1989 and was recognized as a cultural monument in 1990. Today, the Alexandra is a popular excursion option from May to September. She offers passenger trips on the Kiel Fjord – for example, to the Oxen Islands – and is the star attraction at harbor festivals such as the Rum Regatta or the Steam Festival. With its modern, preserved technology from 1908 – including a coal-fired steam engine – she is the only coastal vessel of her type in the world still permitted to operate.

The Port of Flensburg forms the maritime heart of the city of Flensburg and is located at the end of the Flensburg Fjord. It can be divided into the west side, the east side, and the harbor tip, and boasts impressive historical, industrial, and tourist attractions. On the west side is the picturesque Historic Harbor with the "Alexandra," a historic steamship, and the Museum Harbor, where around twenty traditional museum ships can be seen, including the shark cutter Dagmar Aaen. Maritime events such as the Rum Regatta and the Apple Cruise are regularly held there. The east side houses functional harbor areas: the guest sailing harbor with around 168 berths, offering modern amenities such as electricity and water, as well as the fishing harbor and the industrial harbor with quays for handling coal, fertilizer, grain, and scrap. Flensburger Hafen GmbH operates the entire harbor area and handles large volumes of freight traffic annually.  Between the two sides lies the Hafenspitze, an open space that often serves as an event venue or simply invites you to linger – perhaps to play Frisbee or relax by the water.

The mill now shines in all its glory again. Unfortunately, the mill wheels are still missing.

Museum harbor with the best fish stall in the guardhouse. Waiting in line is part of the experience, but it's worth it.
