Bodensee-Schiffsbetriebe

Bodensee-Schiffsbetriebe GmbH (BSB) traces its founding to 1824, when the first regular ship connection on Lake Constance began with the paddle steamer "Wilhelm" between Friedrichshafen and Rorschach/Romanshorn. The name Bodensee-Schiffsbetriebe (BSB) emerged in the 1960s, when the office "Bodensee-Schiffsbetriebe (BSB)" was established in Konstanz in 1962 under the Bundesbahndirektion Karlsruhe, with the federal railway ports of Lindau, Friedrichshafen and Konstanz subordinated to it. Since 15 May 2003, BSB has been a subsidiary of Stadtwerke Konstanz GmbH. With a fleet of 14 ships, BSB offers regular scheduled services across Lake Constance as well as excursion, programme and charter trips, and together with the Schweizerische Bodensee-Schifffahrt (SBS) operates the Friedrichshafen–Romanshorn ferry connection.

The founding moment of Bodensee-Schiffsbetriebe GmbH (BSB) is traced to 1824, when the first regular ship connection began during the era of the monarchy. King Wilhelm I of Württemberg was a co-initiator in the construction of the first steamship for Lake Constance. The glattdeck steamer "Wilhelm" was used from 1824 between Friedrichshafen and Rorschach/Romanshorn. The name Bodensee-Schiffsbetriebe BSB only emerged in the 1960s: to simplify administration and increase economic efficiency, the office "Bodensee-Schiffsbetriebe (BSB)" was founded in Konstanz in 1962. It was subordinate to the Bundesbahndirektion Karlsruhe. The federal railway ports of Lindau, Friedrichshafen and Konstanz were subordinated to the office — these three ports still belong to BSB today. In 2003, Stadtwerke Konstanz bought BSB, which has since belonged to the group as a subsidiary. Since 15 May 2003, Bodensee-Schiffsbetriebe GmbH has been a subsidiary of Stadtwerke Konstanz GmbH. BSB offers regular scheduled services across the entire Lake Constance with a fleet of 14 ships, as well as excursion, programme and charter trips, and together with the Schweizerische Bodensee-Schifffahrt (SBS) operates the Friedrichshafen–Romanshorn ferry connection.
