## Definition

In former times, a monetary payment that ships had to pay when navigating the Rhine. Its proceeds were largely used to maintain the towpaths (treideln = to tow a ship upstream from the shore) and to finance the work necessary for Rhine navigation. - In contemporary literature, the large number of customs stations on the Rhine is heavily lamented; the forced landing of each made the transport of people and goods considerably more difficult. - See Bugsiergeld, Furtgeld, Naulum, Octroi, Rekognitionsgeld, Schleusengeld, Wassermaut.
