About Riis Reisen AG
In 1898, Jens Fjordside, the great-grandfather of Jacob Riis and Søren Riis, founded the company. He established a day coach route from the village of Ferring near Bovbjerg and into the market town of Lemvig. A stagecoach was what is also known as a stagecoach, i.e. a horse, cart and coachman, which transported people and goods to and from the market town. The day coach was motorised in the 1920s and had now become a proper coach.
After Jens Fjordside's death in '34, Katrine and Jacob Riis, grandparents of Jacob Riis and Søren Riis, continued the business. The coaches, the trucks, the farmhouse, the servants and of course the widow of Jens Fjordside, Stinne, formed the framework of life through the 1930s, during the Second World War and afterwards.
In the 1950s Jacob Riis organised local outings for local associations, farmers' societies and the like. People went on outings in the company bus. To the Lillebælt bridge, around Ringkøbing Fjord or maybe 3 days to Slesvig. This is how the real desire to organise trips began.
In the 70's Ingrid and Christian Riis, parents of Jacob Riis and Søren Riis, took over and built up the market for coach travel and in the 70's Riis Rejser was thus marketed as a name.
