ABOUT:
The S.S. Königin Luise is an ocean liner built between 1896 and 1898 by Königsberger Lloyd. Already on her maiden voyage, the Königin Luise was awarded the "Blue Ribbon" and kept it until 1900. After the sinking of the Titanic in 1912, the ship was rebuilt and now sailed between Königsberg and St. Petersburg. Shortly after the beginning of the First World War, the ship was requisitioned by the Imperial Navy as a hospital ship. Due to the continuous use in the First World War, none of the victorious powers wanted the ship, which is why it remained in the possession of Königsberger Lloyd. After an extensive renovation, the Königin Luise was used in traffic between Luisenburg and Quebec. In the 1930s, the Königin Luise was mainly used for cruises, for which the hull was painted white. During the Second World War, the ship was laid up in the port of Königsberg. Towards the end of the war, the Königin Luise still helped to bring refugees from East Prussia to the West of Germany. Between 1945 and 1948, the Königin Luise helped bring Allied troops back to their home countries. In 1948, the ship was sold to a French investor who converted the ship into a youth hostel in Le Havre. At the end of the 70's the youth hostel had to be closed due to the bankruptcy of the owner. In the period 1980-1997 the ship changed investors several times but without any major success. In 1997 the Königsberger Lloyd decided to buy back the historic ship to use it as a central exhibition ship in the current new Luisenburg Maritime Museum. After a 5 year restoration, the ship was able to dock in its new place in the museum harbor in Luisenburg in 2003.
