Ferry Terminal Brunsbüttel South

Highlight • Rest Area

14 ferries cross the Kiel Canal and connect the two banks. The ferry crossings are free for vehicles and people. The basis for the free crossing of the canal is the obligation of the German Empire to provide free crossings for the traffic routes interrupted by the construction of the canal, as part of the construction of the Kaiser Wilhelm Canal (Kiel Canal) between 1887 and 1895.

Due to the high volume of traffic, two ferries operate side-by-side in Brunsbüttel and Nobiskrug near Rendsburg.
The ferries on the Kiel Canal are inland vessels that typically have a load capacity of 45 tons and can carry up to eight cars. Two Voith-Schneider propellers ensure good maneuverability.
The load capacity of the ferries regularly deployed in Brunsbüttel is 100 tons. Up to 21 cars can be transported at the same time.
The ferry captains must hold a nautical patent. A deckhand assists them with loading and unloading the car ferry.

There has been a bicycle repair station here since June 24, 2023. However, they were dismantled from October 1st to April 15th due to the risk of flooding.
