As once the electors in Hanover - Ride in the original Venetian gondola in the Herrenhausen Gardens

Even if it may be hard to believe at first, riding in Venetian gondolas is a tradition in Herrenhausen.

The Electors had rented the Ca Foscari directly on the Grand Canal for many years.
Especially during the winter, Venice was the residence for many weeks.

The good thing was that two beautiful gondolas were part of the inventory.

Therefore, it was only a small step to have their own gondolas rowed in Herrenhausen for the courtly society of the Elector in the Graft.

The Elector's last gondolier received around 108 Thaler annually until his death in January 1721.

The floating Rolls Royce of the Venetians, who lived in gilded marble palaces, has been in Hamburg, the Venice of the North, for many years and is often rowed swiftly with up to 4 rowers in the club.

We finance a part of the maintenance costs, mooring fees, and if possible, even a part of the travel costs for regatta participation in Italy through guest rides.
Your gondolier Carlo is trained in Venice, has been allowed to row the gondola on the Grand Canal since 2009, and has been crossing the finish line first in regattas since 2021, and he enjoys sharing stories about gondolas in Venice and Hanover.
