Jacques Thurneysen, born in Paris and at home on the Rhine: for many decades he has held the lease for the small cable ferry, which is connected via the Schwengel to a wire cable that links Basel Cathedral with the other bank. At the age of 65, Thurneysen hands over the lease to his son Noa. During the summer, the ferry is in service 77 hours a week. Jacques Thurneysen shares the shifts with his son and nephew.
