Der Rhein und seine Weidlinge

In the Middle Ages, the Weidling was an important means of transport and travel for the Basel economy. Goods, people and livestock were transported and pilgrimages were made. The flat boats, which were built exclusively of wood until the 20th century, were ideally suited for getting around in the wild Rhine with its sometimes shallow waters. The exhibition shows a real Weidling, describes its history in pictures, sound and texts and revives old stories.
