The sunken and reappeared passenger ship "Moornixe" in Mülheim an der Ruhr is to be lifted out of the water this weekend. The approximately 18-meter-long wreck will be attached to a crane and pulled out, said ship owner Heinz Hülsmann on Friday. Hülsmann then wants to get the ship afloat again: After the rescue operation, a semi-trailer brings it to a specialist company in Mülheim an der Ruhr early on Sunday morning.
Mülheim an der Ruhr - The city wants to completely block the corresponding street on Saturday evening between 11:50 p.m. and 12 noon on Sunday for the rescue.
The "Moornixe" came back to the surface of the water last week with inflatable lifting bags in an action lasting several days.
The ship, which was moored in Mülheim, was rammed from a tree during the Ruhr flood in July and swept away.
At a weir it was sucked under water and badly damaged.
The wreck was later found just below the surface of the water in an old arm of the Ruhr.
