Abstract	Der Beitrag schildert die Anfänge, den Aufstieg und die Bedeutung der Flößerei für den Holzhandel in Südwestdeutschland. In beeindruckender Weise werden die technischen Einrichtungen für die Flößerei beschrieben und die Leistungen im Fernholzhandel (“Holländer Holzhandel”) dargestellt. Mit dem Aufkommen der Eisenbahn und der zunehmenden Energienutzung der Flüsse für die Industrie stirbt dieses einträgliche und stolze Gewerbe. Um 1900 schwimmen die letzten Floße die Kinzig, die Murg bzw. den Neckar hinab.This paper describes the beginnings and the rise of rafting and its significance for the timber trade in southwest Germany. An impressive description is given of the technics of rafting and its impact on the transportation of timber to foreign countries (“Dutch timber trade”). The railway and the increase in industrial utilization of river energy were the death of this proud and profitable trade. The last of the rafts made their way down the rivers Kinzig, Murg and Neckar around the turn of the century.
