It was as early as 1532 when the ferryman Peter Menges from St. Goar was first hired to operate the ferry here; for wages of 10 guilders a year and a uniform. "Since that time,the ferryman has always been a Menges, either on the "Flying Bridge" or on a large ferryboat. "The job was passed down from father to son," says Klaus Hammerl, CEO of the Menges-Hammerl ferry company in St. Goarshausen, with obvious pride.
