Hadag Ferry Type II "Lola" (formerly Schulau)
Location: 21737 Wischhafen

From the early 1950s to the late 1980s, the Hadag type ships were an integral part of the Port of Hamburg. The robust ferries with space for up to 600 passengers, the "Schulau" is approved for up to 390 people, did their job reliably. Due to their massive construction, the type ships were considered "unsinkable", kept the harbour basins clear in icy conditions and were used as fireboats. To this day, part of the "Green Fleet" is still in use as a restaurant, hotel or excursion ship. The ferry "Jungfernstieg" actually made it to the American continent and thus proved the seaworthiness of the lead ships. Initially used as a diving vessel, she ran aground on the Mexican coast during a hurricane and has since become an artificial reef and a hotspot for diving tourists.

The "Lola" (formerly Schulau) is a Type II ship, launched in 1954 and commissioned by Hadag in 1955. Here, the ship was mainly used for harbour tours and as a substitute for liner service. In 1958, the "Schulau" was also equipped as a fireboat. After her retirement, the "Schulau" was sold in 2000. A year later, Captain L. W. acquired the ferry, which has since borne the name "Lola". Initially planned as a residential ship, it was ultimately to be converted and expanded into a hotel and restaurant ship. The project is abandoned due to personal changes.

The "Lola" is expressly offered as a project for construction and expansion. Due to its design and the available space, it is ideally suited as a platform for a catering business with an experience character, as an exclusive hotel ship, as an event ship for events of all kinds or as an excursion ship. A restoration up to the museum ship is possible, as the ship is in a predominantly original condition. The wide entrances to port and starboard provide safe access to the "Lola" The wet rooms are located in the stern. From the entrance area, a staircase leads to the upper deck. Towards the bow, behind two heavy wooden doors, is the large saloon. The stairs in the saloon lead to the upper deck. Starting from the saloon to starboard is a large cabin. On the port side, a vestibule with a fireplace leads to the companionway to the engine compartment and another large cabin. At the end of the corridor you step out to the anchor winch. There are two cabins on the lower deck. The crew's cabin is still equipped with the original interior. The engine room is equipped with everything needed for the technical operation of the "Lola". There is plenty of space including workbench, tools and spare parts. If you come to the upper deck via the saloon, you are in the current catering area with several seating areas to port and the kitchenette with solid wooden worktop, a former plank, to starboard. Below the bridge, which can be reached via two steps, there is plenty of space. Currently, about 100 life jackets as well as supplies and much more are stored there.
The bridge is functional, functional and for the most part still in its original state. From here you have a good overview and access to the two nocks. Starting from the upper deck, there is access to the large open deck with crane, lifeboat and fire extinguishing system.
The main engine of the "Lola" starts without any problems. The gearbox and shaft run perfectly. The old and dead electrical wires were replaced and modernized. In addition, new brass switches were installed. The CO2 extinguishing system is also fine. The "Lola" is therefore fully operational.
In recent years, a lot of time and money has been invested in the maintenance and modernization of the "Lola". The riveted hull and the superstructure were largely derusted, inside and out, and replaced against corrosion.
