Its heart, the steam engine, beats in the right place. The historic steam engine in the Blue Salon of the Hohentwiel, with its 950 horsepower, draws all eyes to itself. ### The History of the Hohentwiel From 1913 to the present day – it has survived a great deal On January 11, 1913, the new steamship Hohentwiel was launched in Friedrichshafen. According to eyewitnesses, the ship made a rather pleasing impression and was undoubtedly a jewel in the crown of the Württemberg Lake Constance fleet.
