The Mainz survived the Second World War as the only ship of the shipping company to be seaworthy, but was then so badly damaged in an accident on 12 June 1956 that the hull had to be rebuilt. Due to the high need for repairs and refurbishment, the Cologne-Düsseldorfer decommissioned the passenger ship after the 1980 summer season.
