One of the problems with river cruises is that you can't stop everywhere. Much of our earlier trip to Cologne was spent around the Cathedral, and deservedly so. But the sports museum up the river a bit sounds good too.
This covers all sorts of subjects in the history of German sports. Two obvious starting points are the Olympic Games of 1936 in Berlin and 1972 in Munich - both monumental events in their own way. As you'd expect, there is plenty of material on football (soccer for us), boxing, cycling, and winter sports.
This opened in 1999, and the roof even has a couple of playing fields on it. Some of the reviews say it has lots of items but seems to be a little disorganized. Sounds like it would be worth a visit if you are closer to shore than we were.
Here's a video look around:
